Dragon Seed (1944)
A real surprise
28 January 2004
Tonight, when I came back from lab and opened the TV, the Chinese national anthem came out from the TV box. It really surprised till I realized the song is from the movie Dragon Seed. Yes. A new China was born essentially from anti-jap war at that time. The current National anthem was exactly the song hummed by those characters in the movie.

The movie is really a good reminiscence of the American understanding about China right after the WWII. It is sad that the two nations have misunderstood each other for such a long time. Even now, the relationship between US and China is rough. I hope the American people can see a more real image of modern China. American media is so against China. That's not good.

Back to the movie, the movie is not perfect and it's much better than more recent American media's depiction of China. What can I expect? Anyway, SONY controls the movie industry in large.
