In the eyes of his peers, Tao Jin is an alternative figure in this circle, he lives a simple life, does not like to socialize, and sometimes, he will buy a suit at the thrift stall. In 1950, Tao Jin went to Hong Kong and directed the film "Poetry Heirloom". The heroine of this film is Li Lihua, who is known as Miss Xiaomi. And Tao Jin also plays the male protagonist in the play. Surprisingly, Tao Jin is getting younger and younger, and li lihua wears denim clothing. There is no doubt that there are circumstances.

In his eyes, "These two are in and out of pairs, and there is really a bit of a cowherd weaver girl meaning." Some people ridiculed Tao Jin behind his back, saying that he could find a treasure now.
