Talk:Children of Troubled Times

Timing

how could he leave to fight in the japanese war if it didnt begin till 1937? - (137.238.121.88)

I suggest you do a little reading on the history of the Sino-Japanese WarTryptofeng 20:00, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

That wouldn't hurt either but, to stay on topic, better if he did some reading on the history of the Second Sino-Japanese War. — LlywelynII 13:20, 22 January 2015 (UTC)

Finding this film

I have problems finding this film. The is a 1933 Chinese film known as Sons and Daughters of the Times ([1]), but the only name in common is one of the writers. Then I read in the opening titles of the YouTube video linked that the film was called Childern of Trouble Times (1935), for which I don't find an IMDb entry. I have Googled the title, but most from what I get seems to mirror our entry or simply relate the title to the song. I will tag the article for reliable sources.

Move?

After looking into it a bit, it does appear that "Sons and Daughters in a Time of Storm" is also known as "Children of Troubled Time." Or at least they share the same Chinese title: Fengyu ernü

This shows that the films have the same cast/crew (i.e. Xu Xingzhi, Yuan Muzhi, etc) Perhaps we should move it to the alternate title?Tryptofeng 16:54, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

Absolutely. This is a terrible translation and, especially if it's not actually in use elsewhere, we shouldn't be getting people to use it. — LlywelynII 13:20, 22 January 2015 (UTC)

So, looking at what this thing is actually called:

Fēngyǔn Érnǚ (actual pinyin) & Fengyun Ernü (toneless pinyin)

Fēngyǔn Érnǔ (bad Western pinyin) & Fengyun Ernu

Fengyun Ernv (bad Chinese pinyin)

Fēng Yǔn Ér Nǚ & Feng Yun Er Nü (really bad pinyin)

Fēng Yǔn Ér Nǔ & Feng Yu[n] Er Nu (ditto; He)

Feng Yun Er Nv (bad Chinese pinyin)
