Major Secretary
Shen Hao, a young and dedicated Party worker, voluntarily goes to the impoverished Xiaogang Village to serve as its first Party secretary.

His journey is a series of tough choices, a fight against corruption, and an attempt to introduce modern agricultural practices to awaken the village from its age-old slumber. Based on true events, the film charts the transformation of both the village and the idealist who confronts a harsh reality.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
"The First Secretary" transcends a simple biographical drama to examine the mechanics of grassroots power and the testing of ideals within a flawed system. Director Chen Guo crafts a compelling portrait of a man whose convictions are challenged by mundane obstacles, avoiding excessive glorification.
What lingers after the credits is a nuanced look at China's specific socio-political landscape, where sacrifice is measured in patience and persistence rather than grand gestures. It leaves one with a sober respect for the real-life figure and the immense challenges of national development. — MovieFinder Editorial
