Nationality: Chinese
Ren Guang also known by a nom de plume, Ren Qianfa (任前发), was a noted Chinese composer of the early 20th century.
Ren studied in Paris beginning in 1919, and there acquired the techniques of music composition. As a consequence, his works are influenced by Western music, particularly in their harmonic accompaniment. He returned to China c. 1928 and worked at Baidai Record Company.
Among his best-known compositions are Colourful Clouds Chasing the Moon (彩云追月, Cǎi Yún Zhuī Yuè), composed by Ren Guang in 1935 for Chinese instrumental ensemble and transcribed for piano in 1975, and Song of the Fishermen (渔光曲, Yú Guāng Qǔ), used as the theme song for a film of the same name.
Other films for which he provided songs include Kangdi ge (Resisting the Enemy), Dadi xingjunqu (Wide world march), Yue guangguang (Bright, bright moon) and Wang laowu (Wang Five).
