So let us have a brief introduction.<\/p>\n \tSparkling Red Star is a 1974 Chinese film and one of the very few films produced in China during the Cultural Revolution. Co-directed by Li Jun<\/strong> (\u674e\u4fcaL\u01d0 Jùn) and Li Ang<\/strong> (\u674e\u76ceL\u01d0 àng), the film is a mix between a war film, a children's film and a musical.<\/p>\n \tPlot<\/strong><\/p>\n \tThe film tells the story of Pan Dongzi <\/strong>(\u6f58\u51ac\u5b50P\u0101n D\u014dngz\u01d0), a teenager and son of a Communist army officer. When the father is called off, he leaves Dongzi a red star as a symbol of the cause. While he is away, a bourgeois landlord, Hu Hansan<\/strong> (\u80e1\u6c49\u4e09Hú Hàns\u0101n), returns to Dongzi's village where he exacts revenge upon the peasants who had forced him out. In the process, Dongzi's mother is burned to death in their home.<\/p>\n \tHardened by his mother's death, Dongzi joins a band of guerrilla fighters and eventually kills his former landlord. When his father finally returns, Dongzi joins him as the Red Army's newest recruit in the fight against the Japanese during Second Sino-Japanese War.<\/p>\n \tThis is a very fabulous film.<\/p>\n
