Political propaganda of late Cultural Revolution era worth watching

This movie is a standard format of the political propaganda of late Cultural Revolution era:

Besides eulogizing the political movement like in those films in early era, and the anti Lin Biao sentiment of the mid Cultural Revolution era, this late era production also added the anti Deng Xiao-ping sentiment after Deng was named deputy premier in 1975.  This last part is what makes most production in the late Cultural Revolution era differs from the previous ones.

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.
