Chen Shi, a young director, who graduated from the TV production MFA in the Communication University of China in 2016, works in Hunan University currently. The documentary work Reds in Taiwan has been nominated with the tenth FIRST Youth Film Exhibition "Spirit of Freedom" Award.
In the past 30 years,almost every college student in China has experienced military training. As an experiencer, everyone has their own feelings about it.In my school days,I've been in this annual "educational experiment" many times, but I still hard to explain the meaning of military training. I hope this film will give people a chance to look on and think about it calmly.
