Do not miss it

A well made and serious film you shouldn't miss.

Back to 1942!How many movie-goers were born before 1942? I think very few...

The film is all blood and tear in Chinese history-if you ever read any Chinese history you would know a bit of how the corrupted national party of China ran the country(how they handled the famine) and the history of Japan invaded China (how cold blood of their behaviour against civilians)at the time.

To younger people who never experienced war and hunger...please don't expect entertaining plots.
