[3] A Dream in Pink tells the story of a young novelist who is supported by a loving and hard-working wife.
The novelist, however, is drawn to the decadent life of a socialite who introduces him to the dance halls that dot Shanghai.
As the film progresses, the novelist soon learns of the emptiness of this urban existence and rejects it as a "pink dream."
The cast-off wife, who moves to the countryside, hears of his financial distress and pens a gut-wrenching novel, which she submits to a publisher under his name.
When the novelist, after receiving a windfall, learns of the truth, he seeks out and is reconciled with his wife, and their daughter sings a song to celebrate the reunion.
