Shirley Temple speaks Chinese and dispenses Chinese wisdom.

This was an adorable Shirley Temple film that takes place in China where she is orphaned and then stranded in Shanghai as "Ching-Ching". She runs into a rich American playboy who is having trouble purchasing a dragonhead souvenir. She helps translate and then prevents him from getting ripped off. The two become friends...which leads to her accidentally getting loaded into the luxury ship that our rich playboy (Robert Young) is traveling on.

"Are you a stowaway?" "I guess so. What's a stowaway?"-Ching-Ching

Enter a pretty lady...gorgeous 1930's wardrobe too!

This is a lovely and endearing romance that is not only a good family movie but one that will touch a true romantic's heart. In the vault of Shirley Temple films...I think this one is worth seeing. Shirley speaks Chinese and imparts quite a few Chinese proverbs!
