The other two films are Dong Fangjian (1982) and Lan Jin Jin Ji Chu Dong (1985), and like this one, the two are also based on the true story.  All three are about the Chinese Sea-launched ballistic missiles (SLBM) and its land-based derivatives.  The other two deals with the failed ex-USSR's attempts to obtain the Chinese SLBM secrets the scientists in this movie were working on.  In real life, one of the scientist was an ex-USSR agent, joined KGB in the 1950's in the era of friendship and cooperation between China and ex-USSR, when he was assigned to work with the Soviet experts sent to help China.

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.
