Ahead of the 70th anniversary of the People's Republic of China, the column this weekend looks back at some of the movies that have made history or become game-changers in China's domestic industry.

随着祖国70周年的华诞越来越近，本周的专栏打算做个回顾，捋一捋我们的爸爸妈妈、爷爷奶奶们追过的那些经典影片，看它们如何曾书写历史或是改变电影行业的规则。

First, I want to highlight something: Over the past seven decades, China has produced more than 12,000 movies, thanks to painstaking efforts by several generations of Chinese filmmakers.

首先，我想先说一个很惊人的数字。在过去70年里，通过几代电影人筚路蓝缕的努力，中国已经生产了12000多部影片。

We now look at the timeline of films that were once the first of their kind and occupy a unique spot in Chinese cinematic history.

现在，就让我们跟着时间线，来看看那些曾创造过“第一”的影片和在影史占有独特地位的佳片。

Daughters of China (1949)

《中华女儿》(1949)

The first film themed on China's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression (1937-45) after the founding of New China, Daughters of China was produced by Northeast Film Studio. Ling Zifeng, who made his directorial debut with this movie, later rose to become a leading figure among the country's "third-generation directors".
