Against the background of this traitor, it is especially noticeable how much more real (for now) Zhou Zhifei is.…
I think at this point, we’re still unclear what ZZF is deep down. I suspect that what we think we know abt him is still not the last layer. Abt Cell 8, I believe he does care abt his wife but he loves himself more. Him & ZZF both chose survival before ideals but the difference is ZZF won’t sacrifice his family & friends but Cell 8 would, as seen from the way he threw his baby.
I think the Japanese were the common enemy across the board and getting rid of them was a common goal. But they…
He’s the type that wants his own survival above others but he does experience inner guilt as seen from his facial expressions. We don’t know how much this drama takes from the real historical person he’s based on but from what I read, that real person Hu Junhe was incarcerated 4x in his lifetime with the last one being 28 yrs. I’m more amazed that they didn’t kill him and he lived up to 86 yrs old. Looking at the no. of eps left, I don’t think they’ll follow closely to history & might just kill off ZZF or it might end with him being caught.

ZZF did say that he came from CPC to KMT to Wang Regime. He was betrayed by someone he trusted in the CPC. But I have a feeling that he will make a full circle and help the CPC again.
The way Cell 8 cried and sighed in front of his wife was so fake. I dunno if it’s the actor or was it intentional but it serves the purpose to make him more despicable.
I tried adding Zhang Yao, the actress who plays Mrs Weng/Ou Xinping/Spring to the cast list since a long time ago but it's not updated till now. Can someone else try? Because not having her on the cast list is ridiculous at this point. She plays a big part in the drama.
Bits of info I found out recently: 1) Baby formula was a controlled item during Japanese Occupation in China so the desperation to obtain them was very real. 2) Zhou Zhifei is based on a historical person called Hu Junhe: (Abt him but the translation is little weird BUT, what an interesting life - https://inf.news/en/history/006865d7f619ae1b2ab605a2325c2901.html ) 3) Mr Li too, is based on a real person called Li Shiqun: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Li_Shiqun
