Synopsis

As the lights flickered on, the prostitute ventured out into the streets to make a living. One night, the police came and she hid in a house, only to be taken over by a cruel man and mistreated. Her home was also discovered by the bully, and she became his possession, with her money being squandered and gambled away at his whim. When her child grew up, she was still being bullied and she saved money to escape, but it was stolen by the bully. In desperation, she ran to the gambling den, only to find her money gone. She grabbed a bottle and threw it at the bully, hitting his vital spot and killing him. She was sentenced to 12 years in prison. The old headmaster visited her in prison and told her that her child had been sent to an orphanage, and he would take care of her child. With thoughts of her child, she endured the 12 long years. "Goddess" is a unique film, and Ruan Lingyu brilliantly portrayed the lofty and selfless motherly love and the unfortunate plight of women in this prostitute - the "Goddess", winning praise from both domestic and foreign film experts.
