Xiao Tai Yang
Viewers interested in modern Science Fiction cinema often explore Xiao Tai Yang because of its cast, story direction, and audience popularity.
"Xiao Tai Yang" (1963) was the first children's sci-fi film in New China. It follows a group of science-loving kids who, with scientists' help, develop a satellite to launch a small artificial sun, ending a harsh winter. During the Cultural Revolution, the film was condemned as 'poisonous,' and director Wang Minsheng (王敏生) was persecuted. It was only rehabilitated after the revolution.
