Summary
Playthings (Chinese: 小玩意; pinyin: Xiǎo wányì), also known as Little Toys, is a 1933 silent film directed by filmmaker Sun Yu. It is one of two films Sun Yu directed in 1933 (the other being Daybreak).
The film stars popular Chinese actress Ruan Lingyu, and was produced by the leftist film production company Lianhua Film Company. The story follows a village toy-maker, Sister Ye, who urges a group of villagers to continue making traditional playthings despite immense competition from foreign toy factories. Synonymous to many other films made during the same time period, Playthings is a patriotic propaganda film that expresses skepticism towards China’s rapid urbanization and industrialization.
Made after Japan’s invasion of China, Little Toys is a “Marxist war melodrama, containing strong nationalist sentiment yet reflecting Western influences.” Today, the film is recognized as one of the best Chinese films of the 20th century.
Plot
The story is set during the early 1920s and begins with Sister Ye, a traditional toy-maker, who lives in a rural village with her husband and two children, Zhu’er (Pearly) and Yu’er (Jade).
Sister Ye is considered the creative mind behind inventing new toys, and all the villagers look up to her. Her husband, Old Ye, assists by selling the toys out on the street, but one day has a heart attack and dies in Sister Ye’s arms. Amidst the commotion, their toddler son Yu’er is kidnapped and sold to a wealthy lady in Shanghai. Shortly after, the village is destroyed during an attack between rival warlords, forcing the villagers to move to the city, where they continue to make toys.
Ten years pass, and Sister Ye’s daughter, Zhu’er, is now 17 years old. She has become a toy designer like her mother. War has befallen the nation, and the villagers’ attempts at patriotism bring them to early deaths. While helping the Nationalist army at the rear, Zhu’er is killed in an attack by the Japanese.
On Chinese New Year’s Eve, the now-ragged Sister Ye, sits on a curb, selling toys. A young boy approaches her to buy a toy; he is none other than her son, whom she does not recognize. Firecrackers go off and Sister Ye mistakes the popping for the sound of gunfire. She proceeds to cause a stir, warning the people around her. As she continues to cause alarm, raving to the citizens on Nanjing Road to fight against the Japanese, they begin to listen, applauding as they realize she is right.
