About Heart for Heart
In October 1934, after the failure of the Fifth Counter-Encirclement Campaign, the Central Red Army was forced to withdraw from the Central Soviet Area and begin a strategic retreat to escape the encirclement and pursuit of Nationalist forces. Along the way, under relentless ground assaults and aerial bombings, the Red Army fought bravely, breaking through enemy lines time and again. During one such breakout, in Shazhou Village, Rucheng County, Hunan, three female Red Army soldiers stayed overnight at the home of an elderly woman named Xu Jiexiu. Before leaving, they cut their only quilt in half and left one part for the old woman. Later, Xu said, “What is the Communist Party? The Communist Party is the people who would cut their only quilt in half and give one part to the people.”
Directed by Meng Qi, Heart for Heart leans on a strong ensemble — Tao Hui, Tong Lei, Ye Xinyu — 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 war titles of 2020.
