The Error (1956)
Lucilla You Min as Chen Fengjuan
 

A poor songstress betrayed by her family and bullied by ruffians. 

In the film resembling Zhang Henshui’s novel Fate in Tears and Laughter, Lucilla You Min plays two characters. The little songstress is more suited to her on-screen image as a girl next door.


Characteristics of the Qipao Costume

This plain-looking black qipao is trimmed with the popular and humble gingham check fabric. The fine craftsmanship in shaping and matching of the check pattern elevates the simplicity to elegance. This style is in stark contrast to the modern style of the rich girl role also played by Lucilla You Min in the film, enabling the audience to easily tell the two characters apart.
