Historical figures represented

John Leighton Stuart. United States Ambassador to China), in the blockbuster Da jue Zhan (The Decisive Campaign), an exhaustive description of the first major campaign of the Chinese communists in Manchuria in which they were victorious, but ironically the commander's achievement was ignored and denied until 1990, simply because the commander was Field Marshal Lin Biao, who later attempted (unsuccessfully) to assassinate Chairman Mao Zedong early in the Great Revolution. Cultural.

Patrick Hurley. United States Ambassador. In this film, set in China shortly after World War II, Dañino offers a portrait of the role played by that diplomat in the peace negotiations between the Chinese nationalists and communists. This part of Chinese history was banned for nearly half a century in the People's Republic and remains forgotten on the island of Taiwan. The release of this film symbolized the final acknowledgment of the past by the communist government of China.
