The daughter dislikes her mother as a "secret door", but she can't escape bad luck-a crescent moon.

When we talk about Song Dandan, I believe an old woman from the countryside will immediately come to our mind. She is simple and cute with a little cleverness, but she is often self-defeating and makes people laugh.

This is the image that Song Dandan successfully created on the comedy sketch stage. But little is known about Song Dandan's youthful beauty and superb acting skills on the big screen when she was young, and her tragic story.

At the beginning of the story, one night in Beijing in the early years of the Republic of China, eight-year-old Han Yuerong was cooking medicine for her seriously ill father in the moonlight, but that night, there was a piercing cry from her mother in the room.

Father went anyway. Since then, my mother often went to my father's grave behind Rong's back. After her father left, the family soon got into trouble.

Yue Rong is often arranged by her mother to be a pawn, and a small figure often appears in pawn shops, while her mother is wandering around all day, doing the work of dyeing cloth for others and even washing smelly socks.

I am too tired to speak every day, but my income is still meager and I can only live a hard life.

One day, a festive suona sounded in the yard and a sedan chair was carried in.

Longing for happiness and seeking support, my mother married a man named Cui Wu with Yuerong. This Cui Wu is a kind person and is very kind to both mother and daughter.

He also took the initiative to buy Yue Rong school bags and other learning tools, ready to send her to study, which can make Yue Rong happy. Being strongly warmed inside, Yue Rong called her father.

This is the first time since my mother came in. Cui Wu and his mother are very happy about this, and the family is immersed in happiness.

Time flies, the moon is growing up and graceful.

She graduated from high school with the first place in the same grade, and her mother carefully posted the certificate of "Excellent in Character and Learning" on the wall at home, expecting better and better days in the future.

However, the bad news suddenly came without warning. One day, Cui Wu had an accident on the construction site where he worked. When mother and Yue Rong arrived, Cui Wu was dying.

The mother and daughter experienced another collapse of the pillar at home. Before long, Yue Rong appeared frequently in pawn shops, but she could see that things at home had become indispensable.

The evil mother went to a fortune teller to visit fortune-teller, who said it was her husband's life and could not be changed. So, she died completely, and no longer expected a happy life in the future.

Next, Yue Rong found that life at home suddenly changed quietly. There was more food on the table, but her mother was not as busy as before.

She was full of doubts about Yue Rong, but her mother put off the past with money borrowed from relatives and friends. In order to reduce the burden on the family, Yue Rong proposed not to continue studying, but her mother flatly refused.

My mother said that no matter how hard and tired I am, I will provide education for her and hope that my daughter will have a bright future. The mystery of Yuerong's heart was finally solved on the day after school.

It comes from the cruel reality she witnessed. An old and ugly man came out of the house. His mother's clothes were unbuttoned and her hair was messy behind him.

What is even more infuriating is that the old man's eyes lit up and his hands were dirty when he saw the youthful and beautiful moon glory, and he broke his fingers and asked her if she wanted to sell it.

After knowing the truth, Yue Rong was ashamed and angry, and let her mother shout behind. She ran out crying all the way without looking back.

Yuerong went back to school and cried everything to the loving principal and mother. The headmaster arranged for her to live with the school handyman, do some copying work and provide three meals a day.

But after living on campus, Yuerong often found a few silver dollars in her shop, and her mother-in-law told her that it was sent to her by Yuerong's mother from time to time.

But Yue Rong always deliberately avoided seeing her mother. Why doesn't she miss her mother who lives alone with her? She tried to visit her mother several times, but she was stopped at the door.

She couldn't tell whether it was lack of courage or resentment. Mom came to see her at school again, and Yuerong was still hiding in the house.

Mother told her at the door that she was getting married again, and when she left, she didn't know when mother and daughter would meet again. Hearing this, Yuerong couldn't help it any longer, and she cried in pain.

But when she opened the door, her mother was gone. What I didn't expect was that Yue Rong's days at school were coming to an end. The headmaster's mother is leaving, so it is estimated that the new headmaster can't take her in any longer, and she is advised to make plans as soon as possible.

So, in the following time, Yue Rong embarked on the journey of finding a job, but after three or two months, there was still no result. She deeply understands the hardships of her mother in finding a job.

Yuerong had to ask around about her mother's new house to see if she could take refuge. Who knows, after finding the door, she saw from a distance that her mother's third husband was not an honest man like Cui Wu.

Mother was bending over and pulling the bellows hard, but the man beat and cursed. Seeing this scene, Yue Rong was filled with despair and silently turned away.

In desperation, Yue Rong crustily skin of head found the home of the principal's mother. She happened to be out, and her nephew Sheng Jun received Yue Rong. Sheng Jun was handsome and kind, which left a good impression on Yuerong.

As expected by the principal's mother, Yue Rong was soon expelled from the school by the successor principal. Fortunately, Sheng Jun happened to meet her and arranged a clean and comfortable house for her to live in. Sheng Jun also gave her two silver dollars.

Next, the contact between two people will naturally increase. Sheng Jun took good care of her and bought her beautiful clothes that girls liked.

Yue Rong was so grateful that she quickly devoted herself to it. However, the calm and warm days didn't last long, and Sheng Jun's wife found the door. It turns out that Sheng Jun has been married for three years.

However, Sheng Jun's wife didn't make a scene like most original wives caught Xiaosan, but begged Yuerong to "let him go home" on behalf of herself and her children in tears.

Yue Rong packed her luggage and left the temporary residence. She walked slowly in the street. This time, she was lucky to meet a waitress in a restaurant.

Because of her beauty, she got the job. Soon, she was arranged into a private room and received a middle-aged man. He was very gentle and looked decent.

The room was empty, and the man caught off guard quickly tore off his disguise and pounced on it. He is in cahoots with Yue Rong, swearing.

Yuerong struggled desperately, pushed the devil to the ground and escaped from the restaurant. How can life continue after unemployment again?

Yue Rong came to the temple to pray, but met Sheng Jun's wife. From her mouth, I learned that Sheng Jun ran away from home and found a new home somewhere. Between words, she regretted it. If I had known this, I might as well give it to Yuerong.

Yue Rong just smiled. Can such a person stay if he wants to? At this time, the moon has seen through the reality, and after some careful dressing, she has also embarked on the old road of her once shameless mother.

She became a "secret door", allowing all kinds of people to trample on her youthful body.

During the Republic of China, the business of prostitutes was legal, and the practitioners who were brought into government management were also divided into four grades.

Everyone pays different taxes according to their grades. Those women who don't accept management and work in secret are called "secret doors".

Once the secret door is caught, it will be sent to a reformatory for detention and reform.

After the secret door was made, Yuerong's food level naturally improved greatly.

But when the landlord found out about her business, he felt sick and kicked her out. She crustily skin of head and lives alone in her shabby home, the old house where her mother and Cui Wu once lived.

A few days later, Yue Rong learned from an old neighbor that her mother had been reduced to begging on the street. She hurried to look for it and saw her mother's things in a broken house.

She left a few silver dollars under the familiar mirror, just as her mother did to herself.

Yuerong's "secret life" continues, and Yuerong is becoming more and more familiar with the skills of this business.

To deal with different customers, she has different means, either half-pushing, or actively catering, or verbal stimulation, with only one ultimate goal-squeezing out more silver dollars.

However, in the near future, Yuerong paid a heavy price for this quick money job, and she was infected with sexually transmitted diseases. The illness made her feel that she was dying.

She staggered to the shabby house where her mother lived and left her all her money. After returning to my residence, it began to snow outside.

Yue Rong lay feebly on the cold kang, quietly waiting for the call of death. Suddenly, a familiar face was reflected on the window. It was his mother.

Yue Rong struggled to get up and opened the door and took a look. Her mother stood shivering in the biting snow. Yue Rong asked softly, Mom, why are you here?

Later, Yue Rong bowed down to her mother and cried. After this round trip, the mother and daughter finally reunited, and Yuerong's illness improved under the care of her mother.

She still continues to do her old job, and her mother helps her, such as taking out all valuable things from drunken guests, even good clothes.

All this didn't end until the police who received the newspaper came to the door and took Yue Rong to reform. After coming to the reformatory, she was asked to learn more labor skills in order to go out and find a job to make a living in the future.

Yue Rong had already seen through this and laughed. Facing a government official who indoctrinated her, listening to him talk about propriety and honesty, Yue Rong looked intently and found that it was the man who molested himself in the restaurant.

The official immediately attracted Yue Rong's spit, and Yue Rong was furious. So, Yuerong's residence changed to a new place, and she was put in prison.

Looking out of the window, Yuerong saw the familiar crescent moon, still shining with bright moonlight, but everything in this world is not as bright as that moonlight. ......

The film "Crescent Moon" is adapted from Mr. Lao She's novella of the same name, which was shot by famous artists and is naturally extraordinary. It depicts the tragic fate of women in the old society under the rule of darkness to the extreme.

Yuerong was so ashamed of her mother's affairs that she was forced to do it by life, even resented it and even refused to live under the same roof. When she finally embarked on the same path, she discovered that even if a woman has education and skills, it will be of no help in the dark like a dark cloud.

Deep oppression finally makes them playthings for men, and even getting married and eating has become a high-risk move. Physical transaction has become the simplest and most direct way to survive, and they have no choice.

When my mother and her own right and wrong have become the past, she also found that the speaker at that time may be the initiator of the crime. Behind those seemingly well-dressed and honest men, there may be something uglier than the "secret door".

Driven by the old play Gaowa Siqin, Song Dandan, who was in her youth at that time, not only had pure beauty, but also showed good acting skills. Her shyness in the dark, her confession in the snow and her lonely eyes in the moonlight are unforgettable and sincerely admirable.

Throughout the whole story is a barren crescent moon. Crescent Moon seems to be her friend, who once looked at her in the most desperate time. Yue Rong wants to live an honest and innocent life, but it is too difficult. Sometimes she is afraid to look at the crescent moon and feels that she has done something wrong.

The crescent moon has never changed. It has become a hard-working crowd running for life under it.

Thanks to Mr. Lao She!
