A rare realistic description of history in the era of political pressure. Notice that this film was made in the era of Great Leap Forward, shortly after the Anti-Rightists movement, and understandably, the film had to yield to the political pressure of the time. Amazingly, the movie remain true to history by abruptly ending the biography of the musician early:
What was omitted was that although the musician loved his country and opposed Japanese invaders, he eventually went to Japan and died there because the corrupted motherland could not provide the educational and career opportunities he needed. By describing the early part of his life, and stop short before his departure, the film had managed to give an accurate description under the tight political pressure of the time.
