the year of 'red' nostalgia, remembrance or inspiration for millions...
Chinese cinemas, TV channels and online streaming turning people in China to red nostalgy, remembrance or inspiration these months. While 2 major Chinese blockbusters โ๐ญ๐ต๐ฎ๐ญโ and '๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฃ๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ฟ' (้ฉๅฝ่ ) hit the cinemas last week during the centenary celebration of the Communist Party of China, the immense success of the ๐๐ฝ๐ ๐ฑ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐บ๐ฎ ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฒ๐ '๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐น' (ๅ้่ ) just completed its 43 episodes last week which kept 100โs of millions glued to TV or phone every evening for weeks.



With the pitch โ100 years, still youthfulโ, the movie 1921 follows the story of young revolutionaries from around the country converging on Shanghai for the first Congress of the new Communist Party.

The Pioneer is about a rescue effort involving Li Dazhao, an intellectual who co-founded the Party but was captured and tortured by warlord Zhang Zuolin.

The spy drama series the Rebel has been a huge success, having shown almost every evening 2 episodes since early last month until the end last week, it received lots of praise on social media for the screenplay and acting. The series follows the exciting life of KMT secret agent Lin Nansheng in the 1930โs, falling in love with beautiful Communist party agent Zhu Yizhen.

While the series have received strong ratings from the public, media also reported that sales of Mao Zedongโs selected works have been given a boost by the spy drama.โThe trigger seems to have been a scene in which Lin listens to a radio broadcast of Maoโs speeches in which he calls for small revolutionary groups to fight the power of the state.
Not only movies and series are turning to the early days of the Communist Party founding, โ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฑโ ๐๐ผ๐๐ฟ๐ถ๐๐บ in China to famous destinations of the development of the Party has as well surged this year.
