For anyone who sees this, I'm desperately seeking a brief history of how China went from being an ally with America…
Your questions are very "historical", I think not many members here (audience) including myself can accurately provides you the most accurate answers. But here's what I knew from my ancestors ...
Your first question, how China went ally with America.
This is a very long history. It dated back to some time very close to the fall of China's last dynasty - Qing Dynasty. The Japs had begun intruded into China, but not the Jap's troops, only some under cover spies. They pretended to be merchants, investors doing business with China, and some are geographers. Their main tasks was surveying all about China especially the resources and the military power, then to send back to their country.
Especially when they discovered Shanghai, it was as seem a "new world" to them, modernized buildings, night life and entertainments. Comparing back to their country and their capital Kyoto, Japan was a feudalistic country with no advanced technologies and lifestyle. After a few short decades, their emperor and ministers decided to invade China. Partially you can imagine, Japan is a small islanded country, and to compared with China, China is a large piece of land. Won't they wanted it ?
When the Jap's troops fully invaded China, the first state they attacked was at Chang Shar. Aiming from Chang Shar to the military point of Chong Qing.
It was at Chang Shar had the most bloodiest Sino Japanese war with the Chinese troops and thousands of people was brutally killed. The Chinese military was strong, but they was lacked of modernized weapons, tanks, guns, RPGs and war planes. The war struggled for about 10 or 11 years.
But Jap's troops was divided into many battalions, not only they attacked Chang Shar, Shanghai, NanJing and BeiJing too was fallen.
Besides in the China's Jap's battalions, the other Jap's battalions was intruding into the entire Asia, Asia Pacific and South East Asia.
That's what an ego tyrant's mistake was made, they decided to invade the "sleeping tiger" (US), they intruded into Hawaii the naval port also was the most important military point and bombarded the US's war ships and carriers. And through this, it woken up the Americans, they can't continued to stayed out of business attitude.
Certainly when the Japs intruded China, the American knew. But there are other factors America had to considered before saving and allying with China.
Same time at the West, Germans was intruding almost the entire Europe. Only several stronger countries like Britain, France and America was joined force (this I'm sure you'd knew).
Further on, the Americans developed the atomic bombs and dropped it at Nagasaki and Hiroshima forcing the Japs to surrender, but they knew it was an one way journey, ain't sufficient fuel for return.
So what we saw from that movie Pearl Harbour, only a few points was based on true facts, the date of the Japs bombarded their naval port and the selected brave crew to carried this "suicide" mission. But the end results wasn't true based on the movie. They didn't crashed their planes on the padi field and was shot dead by the Japs. The true fact was, this is when the American asked the Chinese to joined ally with them, saving their American crews if should anyone of them landed on the Chinese's soil. The brave crews wasn't like the Pearl Harbour movie's ending, they knew they had to abandoned their planes after the bombing mission. They was using parachutes and jumped when their planes entred into China's air space. Many of them was been rescued by the Chinese troops and maybe some wasn't that lucky.
And in actual, Americans wasn't been "chummy" with the Japs. It was just "make up" to "numbed" the Japs that they (Americans) wasn't interested with their war. But in reality, they (Americans) did send lots of aids (medicines, medical equipments and medical personnel) to China.
And in this drama the beginning, remember ? The Chinese troops joined ally with the American troops inside Myanmar, this part is based on true fact. Not only at / to Myanmar, also reached to border of Cambodia and aiding to Cambodians.
These are so far I knew about.

Thou it's a little comedy, but overall the storyline is okay.
The story about capturing the illegal "Kui Grass", it sort of reminded me in this era the marijuana.
And it's so cute or fun at the last episode's ending part where the list of actor's names and role are played, all the actors they dance with their ancient costumes with that song "Little Apple" by "Chopstick Brothers", or in Mandarin is known as "小平果" - "快子兄弟" remix version.

Overall it's an excellent drama. Every cases that came to their hospital are unique.
But I think it's a little exaggerated 'cause all was focusing on Zheng Ren's capability.
In actual, I do believe there are many great and talented doctors in China. But because there are too many doctors in the country, this medical line of occupation became very competitive. Also can't deny that there are many hospitals and doctors that only care for making more money but not the patients, and their medical professional skills are just an average, ain't the best. Because China is such a big country, there are so many states, province and cities, hence many great and talented doctors are scattered at every where. Not exactly must be the capital city of China has the most great and talented doctors. And no doubts, the medical techniques are very advance in China, unlike during the 80's, 90's or 2000's. They keep improving 'cause many up rising doctors are educated from overseas, and they brought their leaning skills back to the country.
Except a few facts are quite complicated to understand. Most of their hospitals are privatize and very less are government's. Another is their insurance's policies.
But as a tourist if visiting China, I highly recommend to everyone, it's much better before your trip, buy a "holiday insurance" or "travel insurance" to protects yourself for that duration (days) that your visiting trip. It helps a lot in case any unwanted injuries, accidents, or unpredicted issues occurs. The travel insurance do covers these unnecessaries if should need to be hospitalize. You can't rely on your normal life and hospitalize insurance from your country, 'cause it's different and involves between internationally. Also bad to comment, as a tourist wherever you're visiting, if should fall sick or any bad incident were to happen and needs to be hospitalize, these foreign hospitals and doctors they frequently "throat slash" tourists (means that they'll charge you extremely costly).

Title My Sunshine Spoiler
Ying forged divorce documents, what happened to their kid? and was gloating over making her an international bigamist.....what…
This, I agreed with you. I only thought that, perhaps Wallace acted in this drama, supposed it should be a "watchable" drama, but ... I didn't thought the storyline was this lousy and triggered audiences with a lot of negative emotions. Which are the type of drama that make audience feel angered, irritated and all the unenjoyable emotions.
So in a way to say, it's true too, I agreed with you, both men are lousy or played a lousy characters.
I too was skipping / fast forwarded a lot of parts while watching, cause it's just damp annoying. But no doubts, the casts are very experienced and good actors. Wallace, Tiffany, Tan Kai, Eric Le Yang.

No doubts he forged a divorce documents and nearly violated the law, but he was indeed a gentleman compares to Yi Chen's attitude. The only regretful mistake Ying Hui made was, too over confidence of himself to allowed Mo Sheng to return back to homeland and loose her forever. If this mistake didn't happened, the rest of the lousy stories follows on won't be such a waste of time. Perhaps like I'd mentioned on above, I really don't like the snobbish, prideful, arrogant and forceful attitude and characters of Yi Chen (played by Wallace).
It's just my solely opinion about the drama's storyline. I didn't mean everyone must agree with me, each individual's have their own perceptions. And another fact I'd mentioned, I only dislike the role Wallace played as Yi Chen, not on Wallace himself, he's a good actor for many other dramas except this one.

Title My Sunshine
I'm so irritated and agitated by the ML (Yi Chen) since from the drama's beginning while they were at the university. His character the way he treats the FL (Mo Sheng) is so arrogant, typically the 'classic alpha male syndrome'.
It's like "When I call you, you must come, When I get cold on you, you guess it yourself what wrongs had you done" that type of character. That agitated me a lot.
And the FL (Mo Sheng) played by Tiffany Tang had totally 'pulled down' on her role. I just don't understand why she had to (acted) so guilty and obedient towards Yi Chen. As seem Yi Chen is the 'dominant' and she is his 'submissive'.
It's not her fault at all while they was at the university that he just called off their relationship. All was only his pride was been 'sort of warned' by her father.
And these arrogant, cold, prideful characters remains in him until he's a mature working adult.
And Mo Sheng also played a foolish role that, leaving America back to homeland.
In fact, every thing in this drama seems very wronged / lousy storyline / wrongly arrange screen castings.
It gets a little better parts for audience to feel while watching was at America, Mo Sheng met Ying Hui and gets married.
But Mo Sheng stupidly chose to return to homeland and divorce Ying Hui. It's a huge and damp stupid mistake yet childish decision, even after so long she still couldn't get over Yi Chen and still remains at the part where they had separated, and wishing to reconcile with Yi Chen.
I appreciate / prefers Ying Hui / Mr. Ying, not just because he's rich and a successful businessman, but it seems Ying Hui is a gentleman, a mature man with compassionate, patience, understanding and reliable man.
Whereas compares Yi Chen with Ying Hui, Yi Chen is so prideful, jealous and forceful. So what as a top lawyer ? No big deal but he thinks he's the big deal.
And Mo Sheng ... I just couldn't understands what stupid thoughts are in her mind and her childish behaviors, although she's a fully grown adult. Her acts irritates me.
And other casts like her colleagues, these people it seems very foolish too, all they see are only a person's 'outlook', like who's the hottest man, richer man to get the media and megazine publisher's attentions. Must it have to be so materially realistic ?
Lastly, I'm only disliking the casts played in this drama, not on the actors. Wallace and Tiffany are (considering) good actors in other dramas. Only this drama ... Urhh, a 'super' real lousy storyline. For those just beginning to watch, my solely opinion, don't start, don't watch, don't waste your time, better choose something else to watch to avoid all the unnecessary negative emotions that this drama brings you feeling into.

12 EPISODES and I am at my limit.The FL's Wig takes the entire attention on screen; How's the one responsible…
Yea, agree ! Her wigs are so artificial and her style of dressing doesn't suit her as a mature married lady. I wonder who's the 'bad taste' costume & hair styling designer for this drama.

Title Fall in Love Spoiler
can you tell me how long the love triangle dilemma goes on? i'm only on ep 6
Can't remember exactly, I think it's somewhere between ep 24 - 30.
Actually, no need to worry too much, Mu Wan Qing already had good feelings (slowly trusting and understands) for Tan Xuan Lin since he agreed to help her to overcome her family's issues, to force her step mother that bi*ch and her step sister that brat to reveal their wicked motives and ugly truth. It was an agreement between the ML & FL.
The ML actually had like her (FL) since they first met on that cruise. But bcoz he doesn't understands and trust her much, in the beginning he was quite harsh and skeptical on her. But once his plan that he have taught her on how to overcome her cunning step mother & sister had proven effective, she begin to have more and more good feelings on him until it is love.

Actually, I don't quite like the ML (Chen Xing Yu) from his previous drama "Goodbye My Princess". Perhaps it was from that role he played as prince Li Chen Yin had portraited him as a very selfish, strong jealousy, liar and very forceful guy. It gave me that feeling so hated him while watching that price's role he'd played on that drama.
But on this "Fall In Love", I felt okay - good about his role's character in this drama.
Thou he may not be my favorite actor that I appreciate the skills and talents, but I can say, in this drama he played well in his role.
Overall, this drama's storyline is okay to good, nothing too harsh emotions like other dramas that made audiences feel "imbalance emotions" like hating, anger, feels like slapping some casts on their face that type of emotions. You get what I mean ?
Anyways, just enjoy the show, in it good people at the end have good returns / deeds, bad people have their retributions / karma.

Excellent drama imho, both leads are equally strong in their characterisation, there are some minors absurdities…
And also the FL's step mother and the step sister. Especially the step mother, I'm disgusted by her 'bi*chy' character and greediness and shameless. When the half burned photo was confiscated, it showed the baby girl, I'd guessed that's Mu Wan Ting (the step sister) and she's not Mu Zhi Yuan (FL's father) biological daughter, instead is Min Da Chen's daughter. Yet she's so unruly and arrogant to address herself as Mu's family eldest and only Missy. Till the truth is reveal she's nobody but just a bast*rd child. LOL !!

On Papa, Can You Hear Me Sing? Jan 12, 2024
It's a very old movie, 40 years ago. I remembered watch it from a video tape that era when I was a kid, and it made me weep.
Those days during in the 60's - 80's, Taiwan used to produced a lot of "soapy" movies & dramas.
The storyline of the movie was very heart breaking.
And I find none had watched this movie here but I'm not too surprise. Coz perhaps many was born between 90's - 2000 or much later.
And partially this movie was spoken in Taiwanese Hokkian (local dialect) and Mandarin. There was no English or other subtitles. This make it hard for many that don't understand the language to watch.
Summarize up, this movie was a hit during 80's to 90's. It made audiences cried and saddened.
And it's a movie dedicated for Fathers, great fathers.

Overall, there are many mix emotions in this drama. No doubts, certain parts seems very saddening or toxicating, certain parts has shown indeed they are real life's examples.
But overall, no matter how "dramatic" about this drama, indeed there are moral values to be learn.
After watched, indeed I'd gone recalling what was I doing and at what stage was I when I was at my 30 years old ...

Talented Chinese martial art skills. Too bad this "Weng Choon" martial art skills had lost it's passing on.
It's really such a waste. If not, there will be people in this era may have the interest to learn it.
It's a great "Jitsu" type of skills, suitable for female to learn as well.
If for women to master these skills, I think it's excellent 'cause not only for self defence when in dangers, but also may prevent a lot of "domestic abuse" cases.
Certainly here I meant only if a women been attack by man, I'm not saying to misuse these skills on others.
