If Humiliation for Sale had been released immediately after it was made in 1953 instead of being shelved until 1958, Lin Dai's early career would not have been marked so exclusively by roles of village girls. Her performance as the daughter of Yan Jun's hapless clown is a delightful blend of youthful innocence, childlike naivete and headstrong charm, creating a persona of urban femininity that resurfaced more formidably later in her career.
