the movie contains 7 short stories detailing the lives of chinese individuals who live throughout various momentous periods in Chinese history. although some may argue that this film is just Chinese propoganda, i'd argue back by saying 'so what?', it's just a film made by people who want to show their love for China and their patriotic feelings - there's nothing wrong with that.
all the stories were very moving and at some points made me emotional seeing how much people will do for their homeland, furthermore they all stood out for me and were interesting and distinct enough to the point that they didn't drag on.
the production value is very high and the movie ends with a beautiful ost called '我和我的祖国' (my motherland and me) sung by Chinese people themselves with lyrics that detail citizens and their love for China.
