BEGINNING OF THE GREAT REVIVAL (or Founding of A Party) is Sanping Han, Jianxin Huang's follow up to there 2009 Blockbuster Found Of A Republic and follows the story of the early days of China's early leaders Mao Zedong, Chiang Kai-shek and Zhou Enlai, tracing the revolution between 1911 to 1921 and the formation of Communist Park. This movie boasts a who's who of Chinese cinema alot of names know in the west including Chow Yun Fat, Andy Lau, Bing Bing Fan, Liu Ye, Daniel Wu and even film director John Woo.
