The Chinese Amazons 女兵日记

Description:

Through the different experiences of several women soldiers in the army, the film portrays various aspects of women's pursuit of reform during the era of the Northern Expedition. Tang Bao-Yun enters the military academy to escape an arranged marriage; Han Xiang-Qin, the eldest daughter of a wealthy man, arrives in grand procession with more than a dozen maids and servants — her real reason for applying to the academy is simply to pursue her cousin in the military; and Hsu Feng betrays her warlord father. Through the depiction of the lives and inner worlds of these women soldiers, the film reflects the face of that particular era.
