"A group of brave youth who are not afraid of bullets, guns, and hardships. The students stay firm in their beliefs…
So...you're supporting the Japanese invasion of its neighboring asian countries during WWII? They were the asian version of Nazis. They are not innocent... Please, do actual research. The Japanese killed millions back then...women, men, children. The way you talk, clearly indicates you're caught inside propaganda as well.
All nations will have propaganda to promote their narratives, no country is the exception. The CCP is not an ideal government, far from it, no matter what its ideal version is supposed to be. And it's slowly suffocating the people in their mission to keep order. But the governments of other countries are also less than ideal. All have their forms of corruption, all make use of propaganda. They're better at hiding the ugliness underneath. The reason why so many Republican era C-dramas show communists in a good light (negative issues will censored out, likely), is because they fought against the Japanese. There is good and bad in every form of government. It's just that some governments appear more benevolent, but then you peel away the narrative, and you're left with hypocrisy.
It's so easy to judge, so hard to understand. But spouting out prepared narratives without fully understanding the situation just because you already have a wealth of opinions formed on nothing but parroted phrases...well, these are the keyboard warriors of today. I'm not defending the CCP, but, as I've said... there's good and bad in everything. Of course, without even trying to understand my words, keyboard warriors will just twist what I've said and make accusations. Is it wrong to make a drama about students doing their all to try and save their country? Just because this "patriotism" takes place in China, doesn't make it any less meaningful. Only other country's citizens are allowed to be patriotic? Just because some of the characters may be communists, does not make them evil. In this day and age, communism is synonymous with evil, but it's simply not true. Every individual is different, and have different ideals.
Everyone has a heart...even communists. People forget that communists are people too, with families. The difference lies in how they think a country should be managed, and they can be wrong in their thinking. But it doesn't mean they wake up wanting to harm people. I have an aunt in China, who is a communist...but what has she actually done? She's an ob/gyn and surgeon, saves mother and baby, and performs free surgery for people's pets when there is any time. And she comes home smelling like hospital disinfectant and pimples across her face because of wearing masks all day. She does nothing with politics. Her husband is a Buddhist who curses at the CCP everyday. They get along just fine and they bicker about their son, like any normal parents. What exactly do people imagine when they hear communist? That they're evil incarnate and have evil aura shooting from their eyes?
So quick to judge, so quick to let others do the thinking. We're all just parrots, really. Where is your anger from, and where is it going? It's just a drama about students during wartime, doing their all to save their country and family from invaders destroying their lives and identities. You don't have to make a big stink about it just because it might show some communists doing good things. People are not one-dimensional, no matter how you point at them. Perhaps, think more about the person as an individual instead of just labeling them communist and throwing them into hell for judgement.
the actors are too old ðŸ˜, at least choose more eye candy male lead.
too old? that hurts, since they are my age, and I've had enough of people telling me I'm too old to find love. Eye candy? that's a bit subjective....One person's ugly duck may be another's prince charming. They look just fine to me. It really bugs me when people complain a certain actor is too old, even though they are still quite young. I guess they would seem old to a teen or twenty something, but, one day, they will reach the tender old age of 30 and be made to feel horrible about their age every single day by young and old people alike.
