The Three Song Sisters [Film and TV Commentary]

At the end of the late Qing Dynasty when the political situation was corrupt and the people were in dire straits, Charlie Song (Jiang Wen) relied on the advanced knowledge he acquired in the United States and joined forces with Sun Yat-sen (Zhao Wenxuan) in an attempt to overthrow the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Later, Charlie Soong's three daughters with different styles who studied in the United States returned to China after studying in the United States. The eldest Soong Ailing (Michelle Yeoh) married the businessman Kong Xiangxi (Niu Zhenhua), the second Soong Ching Ling (Maggie Cheung) followed the revolutionary Sun Yat-sen despite her father's objection, and the third Song Meiling (Wu Junmei) became her wife under the fierce pursuit of Chiang Kai-shek (Wu Xingguo), who was first a revolutionary and then a traitor. The fate of the three began to rise and fall with the fate of the three most important men in China at that time in the turbulent political situation.
