The Story of Mao Zedong

The film uses a large number of life details and emotional life fragments of Mao Zedong from the 1940s to the 1970s from his prime to his later years as clues, describing his love from crossing the Yellow River from northern Shaanxi to liberating the whole of China to returning to his hometown in Shaoshan; from the loss of his son Mao Anying to the military parade, his speech and behavior, eating and dressing, humor and wisdom in life, The casualness and simplicity of the peasants, as well as his stories with many ordinary people such as guards, soldiers, farmers, relatives, train conductors, etc., showed the audience a charming Mao Zedong; a Mao Zedong who had the joys and sorrows of ordinary people and the love between his children; an approachable Mao Zedong who had flesh-and-blood kinship with the working people... This film recalls Mao Zedong's deeds from the Anti-Japanese War to the "Cultural Revolution". Mao Zedong was a person who had a profound impact on the course of history, but he also had his own emotional world. The film "The Story of Mao Zedong" shows us Mao Zedong's emotional world. The director of the film insisted on portraying Mao Zedong as a leader from the perspective of human nature and "expressing the leader's great emotions." However, due to the low level and poor quality of the film director Han Sanping, the film is very average.
