    Unsuccessful political propaganda

    The literal translation of the title of this film is: Party's daughter

    This is an unsuccessful propaganda because in reality, communists lost the popular support due to the purges in the 1930's, following that of Joseph Stalin, and Mao was one of the victim who were almost killed in the purge and only at the last minute was he saved, and the film was consequently criticized by Mao and other top brass.

    Historically of filmmaking this is interesting to look at

    The Chinese movie industry is the most interesting of how it develops during its decades.

    From the golden era in 1905 to the silent movies in 1930s, to the Mao era in the 1950s to the cultural revolution in the 1970s, to the Great Depression movies after the tianmian square incident in 1989, to the awful CGI in the late 2000s to chollywood in the middle of 2010s.

    Chinese movies are always in some way and this movie is no exception.

    The daughter of the party is made in 1958 during the Mao era which is an obvious communist propaganda machine but I can't help loving this movie how it's done.

    Chinese women attempt to keep the Communist Party organized in Jiangxi Province during the second Chinese civil war. A woman is in the middle of hiding her daughter and fighting for what's right for her people.

    The film is beautifully done, the acting is very great for the time being, and the colors is artistic.

    The only flaw is the script which is many flaws of the Mao Era movies and that's is it's way too obvious what it is which makes their scripts boring, but this film is well done despite the script and I would recommend the movie for historical point of view, not political but of filmmaking.
