editAfter its wide dissemination into the general public and overwhelmingly applauded reception by the people, CCP had sensed an uneasy air from its tacit implication and seemingly unwitting suggestion, which might led to an awakening of people's inner judgement and speculation on an alternative road of China's nation-building, thereby soon led to its heavy-handed censorship and gradual liquidation from the public in the same light as the banning of "He Shang". (River's Sorrow) in 1987, which was a six-episode documentary film dealing with China's destiny in the modern era, and served as a prerequisite for students and intellectuals who fomented the 1989 Tiananmen Incident.
"Towards the Republic" remains to be a spectacular tour de force by the Chinese entertainment industry and the millions of nerves it has tapped on will continue to wage dynamic repercussion into the future.

Sun Chun was originally cast as Sun Yat-sen but the role was given to Ma Shaohua instead, who reputedly resembles Sun Yat-sen more. Sun Chun is cast as Yuan Shikai instead, and he gained weight specially to prepare for his role. During filming, Sun Chun also had cotton balls stuffed into his cheeks to mimic the appearance of the obese Yuan Shikai.
The Manchu Han Imperial Feast scene was presented.
New version
editLooking at the history of this article, it seems that it has went through several significant revisions, with lots of content being replaced - practically all of it unreferenced and much of it showing some serious POV. I've replaced the latest (again, unreferenced) version with mine (I've written most of it before realizing we already have an article on that subject). Editors interesting in improving this article further may find some interesting material in the history - but no references... --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk to me 19:42, 14 October 2011 (UTC)
