Year-ender: Major revolutionary films and TV dramas from 2021

8. Da Lang Tao Sha 

The 40-episode TV series Da Lang Tao Sha (Great Waves Sweep Away Sand) set from 1919 to 1945 traces the respective life paths of the 13 delegates who attended the CPC's first National Congress, which was held in Shanghai and Jiaxing, Zhejiang province, from July 23 to 31 in 1921.

The TV series was shot in more than 600 film settings. Besides, some replicas of significant sites in CPC history -- ranging from the "South Lake Red Boat" in Jiaxing to the house caves in Yan'an, Shaanxi province, -- were constructed to guarantee historical authenticity.
