Very educational, relatable and relistic
I live in South East Asia. Online bet, illegal online loans, love scams you name it, is an occurring problems an epidemic that really wreck havoc in many household. Like in this movie they showed an guy from an upper middle class, very well educated but got an online gambling problem. Meanwhile in my country this online betting disease is targeting lower class, this movie trying to say that online gambling will targeting at everyone regardless their economic background or social background. What's insane is that, China have a very strict internet control and online betting, scamming is still happening in the country. Imagine where the internet is not so regulated. Boom an epidemic. Also some of the workers who went to work in those "factory" are also victims of human trafficking. Some were aware that they're going to work in that kind of place because they have no other choice for work. Very sad.If you say this is a chinese propaganda kind of movie. I mean, the Chinese police really did and go to SEA to get these workers. It's all over the news.
The acting are sooo good.
Many people should watch this for educational purposes and awareness.

Sometimes, to survive, you must become more than you were programmed to be
If you're looking for a romance drama then don't watch this drama. This drama is about growth, overcoming trauma and accepting the things that you cannot change.The drama mainly focusing on Qiao Qingyu and her family. Her big family will really made your blood pressure rise and want to punch the screen, but at the end it will be very very heartwarming as life do gets better eventually, we just had to navigate our life.
There are many parts in this drama where I can totally understand and relate as a woman, because this drama is written so well, the team made up of woman so it really hit close to reality.
I wouldn't rewatch this because some parts are heavily traumatizing, but it is overall still a great drama

History wasn’t blurred
Prepare a tons of tissue and a plastic bag if you're going to watch this 😭The story tells about an album photo being hidden here and there from the Imperial Japanese Army (IJA) The photo albums contains direct evidence of the cruelty of what IJA did to people of Nanjing. It does reminds me the diary of Anne Frank.
The film is very very very disturbing, so much blood and brutality, so different than other historical film I've ever watch.
The director, Shen Ao said he made the film to honor the past, the survivors and the victims, so he doesn't really shy away from making it so graphic.
Theres so much silence during the film that just made you feel like you're there in Nanjing during the massacre and it just painful.
What i love from Shen Ao is that he doesn't use much CGI in his movies
Everything was shot beautifully
But i wouldn't recommend to watch more than once, due traumatizing the film is. Also if you have weak stomach and can't handle seeing blood, just skip this film
