From a young age, Qiu Lilin had a sunkissed look, and after entering the Shanghai celebrity scene with the help of her brother, she instantly attracted attention.

Qiu Lilin was also the first person in Shanghai to wear a "greasy bar" hairstyle, which made her not only a celebrity, but also at the forefront of fashion trends. At that time, there were many people chasing after her, but Qiu Lilin could not see them all, because she hid a person in her heart, that is, her husband Zhou Xinfang.

Chou Hsin-fang, who was once as famous as Mei Lan-fang in the theater world, sang a song called "The Banquet of Hongmen" in 1923, in which he played Zhang Liang, who was so elegant and handsome that Qiu Lilin, who was watching the play, took an immediate liking to him. The influence of Western education from childhood, Qiu Lilin is not a coy person, see Zhou Xinfang after boldly confessed.

At first, Zhou Xinfang did not dare to say yes, because although he was quite successful in the theater, but his birth is not worthy of such a young lady as Qiu Lilin, and moreover, he was not sure whether Qiu Lilin's confession to him is out of sincerity or to figure the moment of freshness. But Qiu Lilin proved her attitude to him with time.

The two are not the right door, together with the natural opposition of Qiu Lilin's mother, in order to break up the two of them, Qiu's mother also Qiu Lilin set a marriage, but Qiu Lilin did not obediently listen to his mother's arrangements. After the marriage, she fled her home and eloped to Suzhou with Zhou Xinfang.

After the two stabilized, they also published the news of their marriage in the newspaper, which was spreading like wildfire at that time. One was a lady of the house, and the other was a playwright-actress, which didn't seem right in any way. Because Zhou Xinfang at that time although already quite famous, but in the end is still a playwright, ordinary people are not necessarily afford this status. Qiu's mother knew that this was her daughter declaring war on herself, showing her attitude.

But Qiu's mother also did a great job of announcing in the newspaper that she had severed her relationship with Qiu Lilin. Since then, the couple's life has been very hard, Zhou Xinfang singing opera earns only enough money for two people barely survive, in addition, they have to face the difficulties of raising children.

But most of the children were sent abroad by Qiu Lilin in their early teens, a brilliant decision because the couple was persecuted during the campaign and the Zhou family was in turmoil for several years.
