Relying on real historical events, the film mainly tells the story that after the failure of the Autumn Harvest Uprising in 1927, Mao Zedong led the "Sanwan Reorganization" in Sanwan Village, and created a whole set of new military management strategies of "branch building on the company" and "equality between officers and soldiers", which ensured the CPC's absolute leadership over the military politically and organizationally.

The film is constructed with a new "prose style" narrative method, integrating artistic expression with historical stories.

In response, Zhong Chengxiang, the former vice chairman of the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles and a member of the Central Museum of Culture and History Research, said: "It shows a truth that the Party's leadership over film art depends on artists and respects the laws of art. On this basis, it has optimized the combination of creators, clothing, music and other factors, thus ensuring the artistic quality of the film."

Yuan Xinwen, director of the Literature and Art Department of the People's Daily, pointed out in particular that The Three Bay Adaptation is a work that represents a major historical node in the centennial struggle of the Party. "First, writing history focuses on the context and the narrative is clear; second, writing people focuses on conflict, which is more ornamental; third, writing theory focuses on logic, which explains the historical basis and practical logic of" Sanwan Adaptation ", showing the important significance of this historical node."

Chen Xianyi, the former deputy director of the Literature and Art Department of the PLA Daily, commented that the film "Adapted from Sanwan" is a work that eulogizes the glorious history of the people's army, reflects the exploration of the road of building the army by the Communists represented by Mao Zedong, and also represents the production process and significance of the theory of "branches built on the company".

Zhang Jinfeng, deputy editor in chief of China Film Daily, said that the film "Adapted from Sanwan" respects history, audience and art. "The film is rich in content, which well reflects the historical law of coming from the masses, for the masses and relying on the masses, and also reveals that the leadership of the Party is the guarantee for the success of the revolution, which is still instructive for the present."

It is reported that The Adaptation of Sanwan is directed by Yang Hu, written by Xiao Yusheng and Wang Wei, and starred by Hou Jingjian. The film will be released in the near future.
