The book explores the transition in Chinese Cinema from Socialism to Post-Socialism, suggesting that this shift predates the widely recognized "Fifth Generation" of the mid-eighties. Through detailed analysis of films from the Maoist era (1949-1976) and those produced during the Cultural Revolution (1976-1981), it reveals that the films from the latter period already exhibit a departure from Socialist themes, challenging established timelines and interpretations of Chinese cinematic history.
