War and People

Director Sao Yamamoto is a socialist master in the Japanese film industry. He tried to complete a history of Japanese militarism's war of aggression against China through the rise and decline of the five generations of a family. The big social family, the small family society, and the five generations of the family themselves participated in the plunder and invasion of China. Describing the development and changes of this family can naturally reflect the process of Japan's invasion of China during that period. ① This part describes the rise of Japanese militarism in China. The film won second place in the 1970 "Film Weekly" Top Ten Awards. ②This is the second film by the socialist master Sappo Yamamoto in the Japanese film industry that reflects the history of the war of aggression against China.

It describes how the War of Aggression against China went from the initial aggressiveness to the successive defeats and the complete defeat.
