During the national period, there were women among the actors.

In the early years of the Republic of China, the first Shaanxi opera actress was born in Lanzhou, which appeared in the third year of the Republic of China.

In the 1920s, women began to compete on the screen stage in China, but when it comes to the starting point, we have to start with 19 13. At that time, Li Minwei boldly played a walk-on role with his wife Yan Shanshan in Zhuangzi's Trying Wife, and the first film actress in China was born. Compared with the deep-rooted feudal tradition in China at that time, it was unimaginable that women acted in front of the stage, were watched by the public, and suffered numerous criticisms behind the stage. You know, all the female roles on the stage at that time were played by actors. Even after Yan Shanshan stepped onto the screen for seven or eight years, the female roles on the screen were still played by actors. It was not until Yan (192 1) played a prostitute that the heroine was played by a woman for the first time. This Wang Caiyun was also a prostitute in her early years and later became a good woman. This experience of fate is regarded as entertainment.
