A Poet From The Sea

A Poet From The Sea showcases the work of Hou Yao, who not only directed the film but also starred in it. The film features a love story between the Poet, played by Hou Yao, and his lover, portrayed by Li Dandan. The picturesque setting and lyrical storytelling highlight the romantic essence of the film.

The film runs for 90 minutes, but only a 23-minute excerpt is currently available. This partial preservation adds to its historical significance, as it reflects the artistic style and cultural context of 1920s China. The film was produced by China Sun Motion Picture Company, an important studio in the Shanghai film industry during that era. Collectors may find interest in the film's unique blend of romance and location, offering a glimpse into early cinematic expression in China.
