Abstract
To Live is a masterful piece of work by Zhang Yimou that reflects on the specific experiences of Fugui and his family – however, because of the film’s theme of perseverance, it is a story many people can learn from and relate to in their own personal reflections. Films have the potential to help people visualize the past in creative ways.34 People can challenge themselves to examine history through films like To Live that present thoughtful, retrospective narratives of the past. Zhang Yimou’s To Live adds a dimension to the study of modern Chinese history by creating a film that invites critical thinking and discussion on a complex and tumultuous period in Chinese history.
