THE PIONEER This biographical drama recounts the life of Li Dazhao,one of the founders of the Chinese Communist Party,chronicling the 38 hours before his execution in 1927 as different groups tried to rescue him from his impending fate.Released to commemorate the Party’s centennial on July 1,the film has been called an unexpected tearjerker by netizens,with many applauding the lead actor Zhang Songwen’s performance for making a historical figure relatable to a younger generation in a way that more heavy-handed patriotic films have failed to do in the past.
