This year coincides with the 110th anniversary of the Xinhai Revolution.
In the modern transformation of the Chinese national community, the Xinhai Revolution played an extremely important role.
Just as Mao Zedong pointed out: "China's anti-imperialist and anti-feudal bourgeois-democratic revolution, in a formal sense, began with Dr. Sun Yat-sen." In modern history, the Xinhai Revolution was a milestone in the revolution of the Chinese people to save the people and revitalize China, and it brought about great historical changes in China and was of great historical significance.
In these two or three decades of history, many figures who are both right and evil have been left behind, such as Empress Dowager Cixi, Li Hongzhang, Yuan Shikai, Sun Yat-sen, etc., who have been recorded in history textbooks and linked to China's history.
I have selected ten film and television works, including TV series, movies, and documentaries, and let us look back at that era, the era of ups and downs, on this special day. Although the road ahead is difficult, we are also moving forward step by step!
<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="01" data-track="9" > TV series "Towards the Republic"</h1>

From the end of the 19th century to the beginning of the 20th century, the two or three decades were short, not short, long, or long. For China, it has been a few decades of change. Among them, since the Second Opium War, China has experienced the Foreign Affairs Movement, the Sino-Japanese War, the Penghu Reform Law, the Xinhai Revolution, and the Second Revolution. Among them, China ended the rule of the Qing Dynasty and moved toward the Republic of China; new ideas began to spread, and the old system gradually declined. China, which is in ruins, is also moving towards a brighter tomorrow.
"Towards the Republic" restores the true state of history, does not exalt a good person, does not demean a bad person. In the past, the education received had always portrayed Li Hongzhang, Cixi, and Yuan Shikai as bad people, but "Toward the Republic" was very humane and put itself in the shoes of its predecessors. But "Towards the Republic" is not to "rehabilitate" these characters, but to tell people to be kind to their ancestors, because we will also become ancestors. We should not always criticize the problems of historical figures with a critical eye, but should look more at their contributions and build a sympathetic understanding. (Golden Sheep Network Review)
<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="01" data-track="16" > TV series "The Great General Defending the Nation"</h1>
Director: Wang Wenjie
Writers: Zhou Zhentian
Starring: Wang Zhifei / Liang Guanhua / Yao Di
Referral Index: ★★★★
The play will recreate the beginning and end of the "Patriotic Movement" launched by General Cai Yi to oppose Yuan Shikai's restoration and claim to the throne. After the Chongjiu Uprising, Cai Yi and his family were "invited" by Yuan Shikai to the capital and taken hostage, and after seeing Yuan Shikai's true face, Cai Yi broke through many difficulties and passed through Japan, to Taiwan, Hong Kong, and then to Vietnam, and finally returned to Yunnan to oppose Yuan. Under the premise of respecting history, the TV series shows the audience the legend of General Cai Yi in a specific historical period.
The play uses epic brushwork to vividly portray real historical figures such as Cai Yi, Yuan Shikai, and Xiao Fengxian, and digs deep and expands the magnificent story and the legend of crying, making the play more epic. Compared with other revolutionary historical TV series, the story of the drama is more compact and wonderful from the whole to the details, and the atmosphere is more tense and gripping.

<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="01" data-track="22" > TV series "Legend of the Soul of the Protector"</h1>
Director: He Shupei
Writers: Wang Tian
Starring: Yu Rongguang / Zhang Tielin / Zhao Wenxuan / Xie Junhao / Zheng Zeshi / Gao Ming / Wu Fan / Wang Like / Zhu Xiaoyu / Song Yuncheng
The plot design of "Legend of the Soul of the Patriotic Army" is rigorous, the character lines are exquisite, and the commercial elements in various blockbusters such as undercover, assassination, rebellion, secret agent, military confrontation, etc. are integrated, while retaining respect for historical facts, and also allowing General Cai Yi's magnificent revolutionary life to be newly interpreted and reproduced.

<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="01" data-track="28" > tv series "Gunshots in Guanzhong"</h1>
Director: Ding Hei
Writers: Lan Yifei
Starring: Li Yapeng / Ma Shaohua / Ding Yang
Taking the experience and fate of Liu Wu, a general of the New Army in Shaanxi before and after the Xinhai Revolution, the drama tells the beginning and end of this major historical event of Shaanxi Juyi through his life struggle and love and hatred, and focuses on the changes in Guanzhong in the process of the Republican Revolution and the intrigues between shaanxi military and political dignitaries.
"Gunshots in Guanzhong" reasonably integrates tenderness and ruggedness, so that the traditional Chinese heroism is unexpectedly arranged in real history. The grand and real and shocking war scenes, the ups and downs, the thrilling storyline, the rich folklore and the eye-catching folk landscape completely exceed the audience's "aesthetic" ceiling from the senses and soul.

<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="01" data-track="34" > TV series "Xinhai Revolution"</h1>
Director: Tang Guoqiang
Writers: Dynasty Pillar
Starring: Ma Shaohua / Yao Jude / Zhang Qiuge / Pan Yuchen / Wenqing / Zhang Shushi / Wang Siyi / Xiao Qiang / Xu Bocen / Guan Danli / Yu Rongguang / Yu Xiaohui / Liu Boying
Referral Index: ★★★
"Xinhai Revolution" vividly shows the magnificent revolutionary course of the Xinhai Revolution, successfully shapes the image of the revolutionary pioneer Sun Yat-sen, and also successfully shapes the revolutionary groups such as Huang Xing and Song Jiaoren, and profoundly exposes the ugly features of Yuan Shikai, the great thief who stole the country, in establishing a false constitution and restoring the real restoration, which is of great practical significance.
For example, the play first portrays the corruption and incompetence of the Qing government, and depicts the division and oppression of China by the imperialist powers, so the outbreak of the Xinhai Revolution more powerfully aroused the audience's resonance. (Beijing Entertainment News Review)

At the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, the Qing Dynasty was approaching the three hundred years of the country, internal and external troubles, the situation was turbulent, it was the time of chaos, heroes were born, and the Chinese nation was facing major historical changes.

Director: Ding Yinnan
Writers: Zhang Lei

At the end of the 20th century, the feudal system that lasted for three years was already accumulated in The land of China, and the time of death was approaching. In the season of external and internal troubles, young people with patriotic hearts consciously began to think about the future of the country. Among them, the youth represented by Sun Yat-sen and Lu Haodong decided to overthrow the Manchu Qing government by force, and launched the Guangzhou Uprising and the Huizhou Uprising. The revolution failed, and the blood stained the mountains and rivers. After several setbacks, Sun Wen finally waited for the gunshots of the victory of the Wuchang Uprising. However, although the feudal dynasty collapsed, the warlords with selfish intentions competed with each other, and you competed for it, and even the great president Yuan Shikai acted perversely and vainly tried to claim the title of emperor. A generation of founding fathers, for the great ideals of the nation, civil rights, and people's livelihood, ran all their lives, and after death...
The film is a successful film, it is a magnificent atmosphere unified with the magnificent epic and the profound philosophical reason, with the refinement and summarization of historical events and the meticulous portrayal of the hearts of the characters, in order to infiltrate, condense and sublimate the artistic temperament of the personality of the historical figures and the personality of the artist himself, conquering the audience.

<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="01" data-track="52" > movie "Blue Blood and Yellow Flowers"</h1>
Director: Ding Shanxi
Writers: Ding Shanxi
Starring: Jin Han / Xu Feng / Lin Qingxia / Zhou Shaodong / Li Xiaofei / Ge Xiangting / Cao Jian
On March 26, 1911 (lunar calendar), Lin Juemin, a martyr of the Xinhai Revolution, wrote this at the beginning of the "Letter with Wife" three days before his death. Decades later, Lin Juemin's deeds were made into a movie "Blue Blood and Yellow Flowers", with Lin Qingxia playing Lin's wife Chen Yiying.
The film is a revolutionary historical adaptation about the overthrow of the Qing Dynasty by the martyrs of the National Revolution. History teachers explain to students the origin of Youth Day. Lin Juemin, a Native of Fujian, left his beloved wife, who had recently been married, and rushed to Guangzhou to participate in revolutionary work, and the seventy-two martyrs of the Kuomintang died heroically in the uprising led by Huang Keqiang to overthrow the Manchu Qing.
<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="01" data-track="58" > movie "Hero Blood"</h1>
Director: Cho Chong-ki
Writers: Wang Mei / Zhao Chongji
Starring: Tse Jun-ho / Zhao Bingrui / Jiang Ruolin / Liao Qizhi / Wen Bixia / Tsang Chi Wai / Tan Wing Lin / Wu Youjing
The film takes the Huanghuagang Uprising in Guangzhou in 1911 as the main line, telling the tragic story of the anti-Qing zhishi who awakened the people with their lives and blood to overthrow the imperial system and establish the Republic of China. This film with the theme of the Huanghuagang Uprising focuses on a number of revolutionary heroes with an average age of less than 30 years old, as well as Pan Dawei, a "behind-the-scenes" hero who risked his life to collect the corpses of martyrs, borrowing the hand of Hong Kong director Zhao Chongji, and reproducing this epic and thick bloody theme with a magnificent and atmospheric picture.
"Hero Blood" is a film that has both revolutionary violence and yellow flower elegance, and has obvious wisdom and characteristics of Lingnan literati. In this uprising that "knew that it could not be done", the heroes of the Huanghuagang Revolution used themselves as torches to illuminate the successful road of the Xinhai Revolution, and their sacrifices achieved the consummation of spiritual awakening because of Pan Dawei's act of collecting corpses and burying them.

<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="01" data-track="64" > the 2011 edition of the documentary "Xinhai"</h1>
Director: Yuan Ziyong / Wu Qun
Starring: Pu Cunxin / Gong Lijun / Brain / Zhang Zhizhong / Zhang Wankun
"Xinhai" is a large-scale documentary launched by Beijing Television to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Xinhai Revolution. Coinciding with the centenary of Xinhai, Beijing Television and Beijing People's Art Theater have joined forces to create a century-old Epic of Xinhai. The actors played the roles of republic diplomats, republic of China commentators, Qing Dynasty officials, Republic of China newspaper people and other historical witnesses, dictating the magnificent history of that period of treacherous and magnificent. The contents of the dictations are from letters, diaries, memoirs, news reports, current commentaries, etc., all of which are first-hand historical testimonies. The method of simulating the oral narration of the witnesses restores a large number of unknown historical details, and will lead the audience back to the historical scene in a unique discourse.
Using the perspective of marginal people and ordinary people living in that era to tell the big events of that time can undoubtedly make the audience have more resonance. "Xinhai" focuses on details and humane perspectives. (New Comments)
