周璇
The song was originally sung by Zhou Xuan and first appeared as an accompaniment to the film "Three Stars by the Moon" (), a 1937 film directed by Fang Peilin and produced by the Yihua film company. The film was one of the last silent movies made in China, and the only silent movie Zhou Xuan starred in. The songs in the film were probably played to the audience on a gramophone synchronized with the action.
