Lotus Blossom (also known as 蓮の花 in Japanese or Hachisunohana in Hepburn romanization or Lian hua xin chu xi and Daughter of Heaven) is a 1921 Chinese-Japanese film written and directed by Shanghai-born Japanese actor James B. Leong and Frank Grandon.

The inventor of the first clock—which would eliminate the use of a Chinese and Japanese village's sacred bell—is sentenced to life imprisonment by the emperor, but he escapes his fate by hiding with a father and his daughter.

[1] Leong—who later became a prolific character actor in Hollywood—created the Wah Ming Motion Picture Company in 1919 aiming to craft films that would combat Hollywood's stereotypical portrayals of Chinese and Japanese people as assassins and villains.

The film was produced in Los Angeles and was financially backed by the support of Chinese and Japanese merchants.

[4] For the lead role, Leong cast Lady Tsen Mei, a multiracial actress and singer with Chinese ancestry.
