Films like this was made because reform had not started yet.

The literal translation of the title of this movie is: The Serious Journey.

Although the disastrous Cultural Revolution has ended, the reform in China had yet to come, and China was still reigned by the hard line conservatives who despite their hatred of the Cultural Revolution, still revered Mao and making excuses for Mao by blaming the Cultural Revolution on the Gang of Four.

This movie is the perfect reflection of such mentality which blamed every bad thing on the Gang of Four, despite the fact that Mao was the one behind them all these times.

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.
