Bu Wancang is also the credited writer, but some scholars believe it was actually Tian Han who wrote the script. Tian Han had secretly joined the Communist Party of China in 1932 and was a wanted man by the Nationalist government for his leftist writings.
The film was remade in 1939 by Yueh Feng as Mother and Daughter (雲裳仙子).
