Nation General 1955

The film takes as its main line the important historical node of the first conferment of military honors at the end of September 1955. At the same time, it intersperses flashbacks of the founding leaders and founding generals in different stages of revolutionary history, fully demonstrating the narrative. The combination of discussion and flashback is a relatively new and unique narrative style that is rarely seen in films with major revolutionary historical themes. There are both magnificent war scenes and nuanced emotional expressions of characters' life and death. The organic combination of the two creates a spirit of revolutionary heroism and revolutionary optimism. The characters have distinct and lifelike personalities, and the historical events are authentic and credible with well-documented records. It condenses the historical chapter of the Chinese People's Liberation Army since the August 1st Nanchang Uprising.
