Reflection: This documentary is a wonderful chronicle revealing the cruelty and havoc that wrecked the people of China who lived in those days where there was struggle for power among the leaders. It really challenges journalists and narrators especially those with special interest in the contemporary culture to consider digging deeper in their stories and giving their revelation about political battles without fear or favor.
The film gives precisely the kind of long-extend socio-political setting that Western news conglomerations sometimes carry to breaking occasions. Besides, it does so with an image based respectability that is basically staggering. The documentary actually teaches the audience importance of upholding respect and the highest form of integrity to bring out the socio-political challenges that China and other nations face. China is just an example of countries that experienced political turmoil and conflict of interest by the political bigwigs before realizing liberation.
The documentary is fascinating and provocative. It explores the darkest days in the Chinese history that can make one to be astonished but at the same time challenged that the democracy which people of China enjoy today never came on a silver platter. There are so many people who lost their lives while others were assassinated while fighting for democracy, equity and equality. The rulers of the ancient China were more adamant to change and ensured that they suppressed young charismatic leaders who were ready to uplift the standards of the country. Indeed, China was among the poor and under developed nations but through the efforts of a few determined people who were ready to even sacrifice their lives it has undergone tremendous change over a very short period of time to become one of the developed country. Political leaders have a great impact on social life and so revolution must begin from the top leadership to the lower levels of leadership.
