After China became the People’s Republic; the Chinese people have enjoyed an improvement in their sanitation, medicine, and lifestyle. These improvements caused a population explosion, which was proudly advocated by Chairman Mao Zedong in 1948, who thought more people meant more money, and subsequently, more power (Fitzpatrick, 2009). Unfortunately, the ever increasing population was badly impacting their national food supply, which initiated the start of China’s plan to control their population (Fitzpatrick, 2009). China has had multiple failed attempts on trying to reduce their fertility rate (Fitzpatrick, 2009). Ultimately, the most effective solution became the one child policy, which was implemented in 1979 (Fitzpatrick, 2009).

But throughout the movie the Cultural Revolution remains a climax, a point in the narrative that all the other narrative arcs bend inexorably toward. Such a view is not entirely correct in terms of our understanding of China in the 20th Century, but it is a signal of the power that those ten bad years exert over the spiritual life of the Chinese people even today. The other periods that Kaige recreates in his film are prelude, in a manner of speaking, to the finality of the Cultural Revolution, but they are lovingly crafted recreations and each phase that he depicts can be commented upon and understood as part of a larger story, one of turmoil, chaos and confusion. No matter that Kaige understands the Cultural Revolution as a climax, he still must find a beginning for his story and he uses 1924 as his point of origin for the romance between his two male leads. Whether Kaige commences the story from this year for verisimilitude in his characters' ages, or if he wants to draw attention to the events of China in 1924 is not clear.
Since the year 1978, the opening of China’s door to the outside world has led China to develop its own economic and social reformation (Wu, 1994). The nation is approaching to capitalism.

Since the end of the Empire and the foundation of the Chinese Nationalist Republic in 1911, and throughout the process that led to the creation of People’s Republic of China in 1949 until the very present day, Chinese rulers had made a strong effort to legitimate their power, creating a new modern Chinese identity that could be shared by the multitude of different ethnic, cultural and religious identities scattered all around the immense territories that we now call China. From the start of the modernization process it has been a central question for the intellectuals of the beginning of the century to determine what must be preserved and what should be abandoned in the traditional
