Bai Guang: Lady Bodhisattva


Ah... Bai Guang, my lady bodhisattva... although you are infamous as the supreme bad girl of Chinese cinema, your devotees find nothing but sweetness in your sour beauty, as they single-mindedly follow the tantric path towards your white light.

"I'm a Female Bodhisattva" by Bai Guang (play song)
from Courage in the Spy World (1949)

Translated lyrics can be found at my new favorite blog, Ambuscade from Ten Sides. The breathtaking pinup of Miss Bai comes from International Screen No. 23 (September 1957).
