This is beyond my expectations, no matter critics or leading comrades, almost no one thinks this is a good or relatively good film (of course there is no problem with the content), I don't seem to have seen it. What reviews mention this film, but from January 1983 to June 1984, the audience was 199.5 million; the audience for the other films: "Blue Shield Safe", 170 million; "A Policeman with a Special Identity", 130 million; "At Middle Age", 120 million; "She an", December 1983 to June this year, 120 million; "Dong Fangjian", 100 million people; "Our Niu Baisui", 110 million; "Little Deyuelou", 88 million; and two films co-produced with Hong Kong, "Shao lin di zi", 490 million; "Young Heroes", from January to June 1984, 260 million. I calculated, except for the two co-production films, the status of the top 10 films is probably like this: two martial arts films, accounting for 969.83 million; four thrilling films, or underground struggles or detective films, 630 million; comedy films, 390 million; and "At Middle Age", 120 million, plus two co-productions, 12 films with an audience of about 3 billion.}}

This is beyond my expectations, no matter critics or leading comrades, almost no one thinks this is a good or relatively good film (of course there is no problem with the content), I don't seem to have seen it. What reviews mention this film, but from January 1983 to June 1984, the audience was {{nowrap. 199.5 million; the audience for the other films: "Blue Shield Safe", {{nowrap. 170 million; "A Policeman with a Special Identity", {{nowrap. 130 million; "At Middle Age", {{nowrap. 120 million; "She an", December 1983 to June this year, {{nowrap. 120 million; "Dong Fangjian", {{nowrap. 100 million people; "Our Niu Baisui", {{nowrap. 110 million; "Little Deyuelou", {{nowrap. 88 million; and two films co-produced with Hong Kong, "Shao lin di zi", {{nowrap. 490 million; "Young Heroes", from January to June 1984, {{nowrap. 260 million. I calculated, except for the two co-production films, the status of the top 10 films is probably like this: two martial arts films, accounting for {{nowrap. 969.83 million; four thrilling films, or underground struggles or detective films, {{nowrap. 630 million; comedy films, {{nowrap. 390 million; and "At Middle Age", {{nowrap. 120 million, plus two co-productions, 12 films with an audience of about {{nowrap. 3 billion.
