- "Report Squad Leader"
If you want to count the unique genres of Chinese films, in addition to the long-established martial arts films, the next one should mention the "military teaching films" developed by the Taiwanese film circle. Perhaps because of the system of compulsory military service for the whole people, the enlistment of young men in the army has become the collective memory of generations, or perhaps it can resonate with everyone, and these films with the theme of enlistment in the camp and military life will undoubtedly be popular after being broadcast in that era. With the development of society, military education films from the initial political propaganda of the main theme to the later stage of the funny comedy, in the 1980s Taiwan military feature film "Report Squad Leader" series of fire throughout Taiwan and even to Hong Kong and overseas Chinese circles, but also became a classic of Taiwanese military teaching films, the subsequent sequel is even more overwhelming, the future Taiwan entertainment industry big names, have more or less appeared in the film, such as Ke Junxiong, Yu Zonghua, Niu Chengze, Li Xingwen, Yang Qinghuang, Yu Chengqing, Ren Xianqi, Lin Zhiying, etc. And the most memorable at that time was undoubtedly the "squad leader" Yu Zonghua...
Yu Zonghua, born on October 10, 1962 in Taipei, Taiwan, with his ancestral home in Songzi, Hubei Province, is a Taiwanese film and television actor who graduated from Taiwan's "Guoguang Drama Art Experimental School". That is, Taiwan's famous "Guoguang Art School".
In 1973, at the age of 11, Yu Zonghua and Qin Han (the son of the anti-Japanese general Sun Yuanliang) starred in the film "Mother Is Thirty Years Old", which won the first place in the Best Chinese Film of the Year by the China Film Critics Association. In 1987, the film "Report Squad Leader" was a success, so Yu Zonghua was praised by many audiences as "the world's first squad leader." So let's follow yu Zonghua's acting footsteps and see how the so-called "screen squad leader" behaves.

"Report Squad Leader 1" is the first and most classic one in the "Report Squad Leader" series, there are a number of future big names in the film, such as Ke Junxiong, Yang Qinghuang, Li Xingwen, and the future famous director Niu Chengze, in the film Yu Zonghua plays a strict with the soldiers, their own quality of the recruit squad Leader Sun Jianguo, training recruits without mercy, and in the face of the challenge of recruits, it is also glad to accept, and finally let the recruits "convinced". It can be said that this film laid the foundation for Yu Zonghua's 16-year-long "screen squad leader" image.

In this "Report Squad Leader", Yu Zonghua still plays a strictly trained, upright grassroots squad leader, and the content of the film is similar to the first one, which is equivalent to a partial continuation of the first part.

Like "Report Squad Leader 1", this report squad leader also gathered a group of future names such as Lei Jin, such as Lin Zhiying, Jin Chengwu, Ren Xianqi, Zhang Liwei, Chen Weimin, etc. This squad leader played by Yu Zonghua "Tu Jianxun" is still a squad leader with excellent military quality and strict leadership, but it is no longer training new recruits, but training a group of veterans who hang lang dang, muddy waters and fish, and eventually retrain them into qualified soldiers.

And the first few parts are also "ever-changing".
