5000 Years of Heroes

This is a phenomenal series about one of the greatest generals in China history and arguably the world history. I have learned so much about Han Xin and other great figures like Liu Bang and Xiang Yu. Reflecting on the choices, mistakes, and characters from these figures, I have found many values that still hold in this modern era.

The documentary did quite well in introducing and guiding viewers through the overall situation at the time of the great Chu-Han contention. The animation helps a great deal in understanding the different military units, battlefields, and territorial evolution. Some viewers may find some of the conversations forced/strange. I believe that the producer tried their best to convey the essence of the conversation from the original language (i.e. Mandarin) and they did a very good job in this regard.
