What happens

《失去中國嘅人》(The Men Who Lost China)係一部由電影導演米奇 · 安德森喺美國製作嘅英文紀錄片,喺2013年上映,探討咗喺1911年中國革命同第一次世界大戰啲時期度,美國整體對中國嘅取態,同埋其他西方國家嘅取態點樣去影響、塑造咗中國嘅國族身份認同,特別係佢嘅外交政策,兼同前蘇聯嘅結盟。 概覽 當現時嘅中國正獲得無可爭議嘅超級大國地位,世界媒體仍然對佢嘅意圖作出猜測。呢套紀錄片表明,任何值得嘅預測都必須植根於對過去事件嘅認真研究,以及對西方同中國對呢啲事件嘅睇法,所作嘅理解。美國參與咗1911年中國辛亥革命,以及第一次世界大戰後西方國家對中國嘅背叛,係呢部紀錄片探討嘅中國現代史上兩個最關鍵嘅事件。 (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
