About A Man of the People
During the Cultural Revolution, Deng Xiaoping was sacked and sent to Jiangxi. Despite facing multiple high-pressure crises, he always remained firm, optimistic, and never changed his original aspiration. For his safety, the master of the factory arranged a special road for him. For three years and four months, Deng Xiaoping went to work along this trail every day. Later generations called it "Deng XIaoping trail".
Directed by Xianhe Lei, Lu Qi, A Man of the People leans on a strong ensemble — Lu Qi, Yu Hui, Zhang Yamei — 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 screen titles of 2022.
