The '''Chinese Left-wing Cinema Movement''' was an advanced cinematic movement led by the Chinese Communists in the 1930s. After the [[September 18 incident]], a number of filmmaking companies turned "left-wing" in attempt to improve the turnover and attract more audiences, as well as for the reason that most workers in the industry were infuriated against the invading Japanese. Taking the lead, [[Mingxing Studio]] took the suggestion from [[Hong Shen]] to invite left-wing authors [[Xia Yan]], [[Zheng Boqi]] and [[Qian Xingcun]] (also known as [[A Ying]]) to be the editing consultants and started an editorial committee with them as members alongside [[Zheng Zhengqiu]] and Hong Shen. Later, [[Shen Xiling]], [[Situ Huimi]], ''Hu Ping'', [[Wang Ying]] and [[Chen Ningqiu]] from the Chinese League of Dramatists also joined Mingxing Studio's committee. [[Lianhua Studio]] and [[Yihua Studio]] soon followed in their footsteps, taking some left-wing artists such as [[Tian Han]], [[Yang Hansheng]], [[Nie Er]], [[Zheng Junli]] and [[Jinyan]] to join their own teams. These communist filmmakers became the creative cores, and from that point forward, the Chinese film industry entered a new phase.

The upsurge of the Chinese Left-wing Cinema Movement appeared in 1933 as films such as ''[[Wild Torrent]]'', ''[[Iron Board of Blood Tear]]'', ''[[Woman Crying]]'', ''[[Twenty-four Hours in Shanghai]]'', ''[[Three Modern Ladies]]'', ''[[Survival of a Nation]]'', ''[[The Road]]'', and ''[[New Female]]'' were screened. From [[1934]] to [[1935]], the KMT government intensified the persecution of the left-wing cinematic movement. But filmmakers set up Diantong Film Company, which presented important examples of the left-leaning Chinese cinema, including ''[[Shared Hate]]'', ''[[Song of the Fisherman]]'', ''[[Spirit of Freedom]]'' and ''[[The Boatman's Daughter]]''. In addition, ''[[Song of the Fisherman]]'' was notable as being the first Chinese film to win a prize in an international film festival in Moscow.
