How it feels

This film aims to unite the people of Taiwan after decades of Japanese occupation and political division. It focuses on the shared heritage of the Chinese people as a way to bridge differences between local Taiwanese and mainlanders who arrived with the Kuomintang.

What happens

Потомки Жёлтого императора (кит. 黃地子孫, Huangdi de Zisun) — первый из сохранившихся тайваньских фильмов, снятый режиссёром Бай Ке в 1956 году. Целью фильма являлось объединение нации, часть которой находилась 50 лет под японской оккупацией и испытывала в результате политики Гоминьдана трудности с прибывшими с материка китайцами.
