Rhapsody of Happiness (Chinese: 幸福狂想曲; pinyin: Xìngfú Kuángxiǎngqǔ) is a Chinese film directed by Chen Liting and written by Chen Baichen. Made during the Republican era, it was produced by the state-owned China Film No. 2 Studio based in Shanghai.

Film and plot
Huang Zongying played a woman forced into prostitution and drug dealing in war-torn China, capturing both the degeneracy and the kindness of the character's complex nature. The male lead was her future husband Zhao Dan, China's most celebrated male actor of the time.[2]
