    The ignorant common people in today's world can not understand the true meaning of it
    Most of the countries with status and power in the world today are capitalist countries, and the only one that looks "different" is China, which is run by the Communist Party of China. In China, the people are the masters of the country and the true masters of the country. In the case of COVID-19, we can see that foreign capitalists are demanding the resumption of production and work for the sake of interests, regardless of the lives and health of workers, while accusing China of not being good at fighting the epidemic. In China, the epidemic has been completely controlled, which is the real democracy! This is real freedom! Most of the critics didn't understand the real ideas behind the movie -- Marxism and communism. People in capitalist countries are just like a mob of people, under the spell of capitalists, who think they are very "free" to live under their invisible iron hoof. They do not know that they have been sold by capitalists long ago, but they are still busy helping the capitalists to count their money.
