Political propaganda making excuses for Mao's mistake

Or more precisely, the political propaganda making excuses for Mao's crime, which is his decision to launch the disastrous political movement of the Great Leap Forward which resulted in tens of million of people starved to death.

The movie itself, does not have much direct political propaganda that defends the Great Leap Forward movement directly, but, audience should not be fooled because such defense is done in an indirect way, i.e. the entire crew overcame the difficulties under the Party's leadership, which is no more obvious than the presence of the political commissar, a very realistic depiction in real life in China.

Hence, the implied message is that Chinese people unite behind the Party leadership to overcome the difficulties (which is created by Mao and his part first place).

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 adventure genre features exciting journeys, quests, or expeditions undertaken by characters who often face challenges, obstacles, and risks in pursuit of a goal. Adventures can take place in a wide range of settings, from exotic and fantastical locations to historical or even everyday environments.
