The Blind Man

Set in 1950, Feng Zhiqing, a worker at the Agricultural Machinery Factory, was rushing to manufacture supplies to resist US aggression and aid to Korea. In an explosion accident, he injured his eyes in an explosion to rescue his comrades. With the care of the party and the encouragement of comrades, he used great perseverance to overcome the disease of vision loss and returned to work at the machine. On the issue of love, he was unwilling to involve his fiancé Li Sufang, who was led by Li Sufang and the factory. With the help, he relieved his ideological burden, formed a happy marriage with Li Sufang, and worked hard to produce urgently needed materials for the War of Resistance against U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea. He boldly carried out technological innovation and finally succeeded.

Directed by Lin Yi, The Blind Man leans on a strong ensemble — Lin Lan, Zhang An-Fu, Xin Wang — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1960.
