A Bachelor is Born (1952)
Liu Lian as Tan Ailing

 

A hired student to elevate the university’s reputation, with all her clothes and make-up products supplied by the school.

In the early 1950s, Liu Lian often played young married women roles. Here, she has a rare stint as a university student, but more like a social butterfly.

Characteristics of the Qipao Costume

This dark blue qipao is embellished with striped fabric placed diagonally to create a graphic effect. At the upper body, the stripes make the shoulders look broader; at the hem, it has a narrowing effect. The stripe stain fabric resembles men’s necktie material.
