Sum Hun (Chinese: 心恨; Jyutping: sam1 han6, or Chinese: 鐵血芳魂,[1] a.k.a. Xinhin[citation needed] or Heartaches) is a 1936 Cantonese-language drama film produced by an American production company in 1936 for a Chinese audience. The film was advertised as the first Cantonese-language film made in Hollywood.[2][3] The film is believed to be lost.[4]
A Chinese-American aviator (Beal Wong) falls in love with an opera star named Fan (Kim-Fong Wei) in San Francisco.[5] Unfortunately, a jealous theater manager named Jung intervenes, threatening to send the opera star back to China.[4]
