This movie is a symbol of the Chinese reform that was to be started, and non-Chinese audience, as well as Chinese kids who were born in the 1980's needs to know some Chinese history in order to appreciate this film:

After the end of the Cultural Revolution in 1976, China was dominated by the die hard hard line conservatives who still adored Mao, despite their hatred to the Cultural Revolution, and they made excuses for Mao by blaming the Gang of Four for the Cultural Revolution.

These hard line conservative was removed from the offices in 1979 and consequently, the Chinese reform took off in 1980's.  The drama played out in the lives of ordinary Chinese citizen symbolize this change of regime.

Mandarin-language cinema across Mainland China, Taiwan, and Singapore explores historical reflection, cultural identity, and personal sacrifice, often expressed through poetic visuals and sweeping narratives. In Mainland China, this takes the form of allegory and large-scale epics that reflect on national history. Taiwan emphasizes intimate modernist realism, generational change, and the search for identity. Singapore contributes stories of migration, multiculturalism, and the negotiation of tradition in a globalized city.

The drama genre is a broad category that features stories portraying human experiences, emotions, conflicts, and relationships in a realistic and emotionally impactful way. Dramas delve into the complexities of human life, often exploring themes of love, loss, morality, societal issues, personal growth, with the aim to evoke an emotional response from the audience by presenting relatable and thought-provoking stories.
