watched for Neo and Lusi, but I just can’t continue..

Zhao Lusi is one of my 2 fave Chinese actresses, so I was very excited to watch this drama. I also was recently introduced to Neo Hou and really liked his work, so big bonus to see them together..

My problem with this show lies solely on the Communist agenda being applauded and revered at every turn, and basically crammed down our throats. I just can’t sit through the one-sided history this show portrays. The Chinese people suffered greatly during this time, but this show has citizens as only gung-ho Mao supporters, while they are starving, freezing to death, living in severe poverty, and under intense scrutiny for any sign of opposition in either word or deed that could cost them their life.

A true accounting of history shows both sides of story, backed up with facts, not what was displayed here, which feels more like fantasy fiction.
