With the deepening of reform and opening up, China's economy has made great progress, and the people's living standards have improved significantly. However, rapid changes have also led to a certain degree of imbalance in the distribution of interests, and some people have controlled resources and power, making some social problems increasingly prominent.
For example, economic crimes occur from time to time, and underworld organizations are dormant in all corners of society, seriously endangering the safety of the people's lives and property. In the face of these grim situations, maintaining public order and cracking down on criminal activities have become the most important tasks.
In this context, the television and film industry has produced a large number of works that reflect the public security organs' resolute opposition to crime and the maintenance of social fairness and justice. These works mainly focus on two aspects: first, they depict the story of the life-and-death struggle between the police and the murderous gangsters, reflecting the process of law enforcement by the public security organs through individual cases, and reflecting the determination of the people's police to maintain social order; The second is to expose the ugly acts of collusion between officials and the underworld through typical cases, and advocate justice and fairness.
This type of work is known as "anti-crime drama" because of its subject matter and social effect.
In the context of the deepening of reform and opening up and rapid economic development, anti-crime dramas have become a popular theme in movies and television dramas, and have received widespread attention. It became one of the mainstream and main themes of that era, and played an important role in guiding the social atmosphere.
In the past 20 years, a total of 10 anti-crime film and television dramas have stood out, and they have received a high score of more than 8 points on Douban, becoming the representative of the anti-crime drama with the best reputation in this period.
Most of these 10 dramas are based on some real major criminal cases, telling the life-and-death contest between the police and gangsters, showing the fearless sacrifice and unremitting fighting spirit of police comrades, and also exposing some dark sides of society at that time.
The No. 1 "China Criminal Investigation No. 1 Case" restores every detail of the case in a documentary-style manner, making the audience empathize with it, and also making people admire the courage and wisdom of the grassroots police when solving the case.
"Conquest" reflects the reality of some young people in that era who were forced astray by the environment through the growth process of a villain. The popularity of "Hurricane" lies in the delicate portrayal of the characters and the reasonable and rigorous plot design.
The biggest highlight of "In the Name of the People" is that it covers a wide range of cases, reflecting the contradictions of Chinese society at that time. "Trident" depicts the working and living conditions of grassroots police from another perspective...... It can be said that these 10 dramas embody the typical characteristics of anti-crime dramas and are the best masterpieces of this period.
Not only are they well-made and dramatic, but they also play a positive role in promoting social progress.
The reason why the anti-crime drama "Hurricane" can achieve such a huge response among the audience is due to the following key factors:

He vividly expressed the growth trajectory of a gangster step by step into an underworld boss, and the rich details enhanced the sense of realism and substitution of the characters, and the audience fell in love with it.
Secondly, the psychological description of the twist of the characters' fate in the play is also well done.
