Critical response

On July 25, 2017, film director Ye Daying (叶大鹰), the grandson of General Ye Ting, criticized the film on Sina Weibo as follows: "The revolutionary history is seriously entertaining. It is a reproach and distortion of the revolutionary history." [6] Ye Daying also sent an open letter to the State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television (SAPPRFT), which was signed by more than 25 revolutionary successors, many of them are generations of higher military officials. [7] They demanded an apology to their family from the producer. [7]

The page of the film on Douban, the leading film review website in China, has forbidden any rating or comment by its users since July 2017. [8]
