Ci Mu Lei

I have a CD which contains an old Cantonese song called A Mother's Tears or Ci Mu Lei (慈母泪) sung by Hong Seen Lui. I have always wondered if there is a movie with the same name and starring the same artiste. Recently I did a search and found that there is such a movie.

It is a 1953 production starring Hong Seen Lui and Cheung Yeng. Anyone of you seen this movie?



I remember watching movies with such a theme when I was young - a mother's love for her children. She did whatever was good for her children including sacrificing her own well-being. Unfortunately, sometimes she overdid it and spoiled her children instead.
