The Light of Maternal Instinct (also translated as The Glory of Motherhood[1]) is a 1933 Chinese drama film directed by Bu Wancang, starring Lai Cheuk-Cheuk, Chen Yanyan, and Jin Yan.

It is a silent film since it lacks sound for dialogues, but there is background music composed by Ren Guang.

Bu Wancang is also the credited writer, but some scholars believe it was actually Tian Han who wrote the script.

Tian Han had secretly joined the Chinese Communist Party in 1932 and was a wanted man by the Nationalist government for his leftist writings.

The film was remade in 1939 by Yueh Feng as Mother and Daughter (雲裳仙子).
