This is a seven-part anthology drama film, consisting of seven segments directed by seven directors released in China on September 30, 2019, to commemorate the establishment of 70th anniversary of the People's Republic of China. 1. The Eve The opening segment is about an engineer, Lin Zhiyuan, racing against time to perfect an automatic flag-raising mechanism before the founding ceremony of the People's Republic of China on October 1, 1949. 2. Passing by The second story sees a scientist, Gao Yuan, played by Zhang Yi, work on China's first atom bomb who had to bid farewell forever to his lover in the 1960s. 3. The Champion The third story is about how a little Shanghai lad named Dong Dong helped his neighbors watch TV for the China women's national volleyball team's Olympic gold medal win in 1984. 4. Going Home The fourth story is about a Chinese executive delegation and local policemen preparing for the return of Hong Kong from British rule to China in 1997. The 12-second silence between the British and Chinese anthems during the Hong Kong handover ceremony is also reflected in this part. 5. Hello Beijing The fifth story is about a taxi driver who gives a ticket to the opening ceremony of the 2008 Beijing Olympics to a boy from the Sichuan earthquake zone though it was intended to be a birthday gift to his aloof son. 6. The Guiding Star The sixth story is about a pair of homeless brothers who witness the landing of the capsule of the Shenzhou 11 manned spacecraft on November 18, 2016, a moment of national pride that touched them. 7. One for All It follows the story of a top female fighter jet pilot Lü Xiaoran who helps her fellow pilots accomplish a smooth aerial performance at the Military Parade of the 70th Anniversary of the Victory in the Second Sino-Japanese War in 2015.

i initally watched this because i was looking for a doctumentary style movie to educate myself on the history of China and their achievements throughout the years, and this movie did not disappoint at all.

the movie contains 7 short stories detailing the lives of chinese individuals who live throughout various momentous periods in Chinese history. although some may argue that this film is just Chinese propoganda, i'd argue back by saying 'so what?', it's just a film made by people who want to show their love for China and their patriotic feelings - there's nothing wrong with that.
all the stories were very moving and at some points made me emotional seeing how much people will do for their homeland, furthermore they all stood out for me and were interesting and distinct enough to the point that they didn't drag on.

the production value is very high and the movie ends with a beautiful ost called '我和我的祖国' (my motherland and me) sung by Chinese people themselves with lyrics that detail citizens and their love for China.
