In April 1949, after the three major campaigns of Liaoshen, Huaihai, and Pingjin, the military strength comparison between the Kuomintang and Communist forces underwent a fundamental change. Based on Chairman Mao Zedong and Commander-in-Chief Zhu De's order to "march towards the nation," the People's Liberation Army launched a large-scale strategic offensive towards the vast regions still under the control of the Kuomintang, initially targeting the heavily fortified Nanjing-Shanghai-Hangzhou area. On April 20, 1949, our million-strong army initiated the Yangtze River Crossing Campaign from three groups in Central, East, and West China. The Kuomintang's painstakingly built thousand-mile-long Yangtze defense line collapsed before the overwhelming assault of the People's Liberation Army. Taking advantage of the victory, the People's Liberation Army advanced southward, subsequently capturing Nanjing, cutting off the Zhejiang-Jiangxi line, occupying Hangzhou, and closing in on Shanghai. To protect the lives and property of the people in Shanghai, as well as the city's structures, the PLA, after meticulous planning and significant sacrifices, finally liberated China's largest city—Shanghai—on May 27. This film not only depicts this grand and majestic historical panorama but also fully illustrates the emergence and evolution of significant events and important contradictions during this moment of major social change in China, as well as the various mindsets and emotional worlds of important figures—decision-makers, commanders, participants of historical events—and the "living history" of those directly involved.
