Since the show was aired, it has received a lot of praise for its interlocking plots, thrilling battles of wits, vivid group portraits, and detailed and touching output of the power of faith.
"Harbin 1944" uses the close cooperation of the twin brothers Song Zhuowen (played by Qin Hao) and Song Zhuowu (played by Qin Hao) as the basis for suspense. It tells the story of Song Zhuowen being raped by the chief of the Secret Service Section Guan Xue (played by Guan Xue). After Yang Mi (played by Yang Mi) mistook him as his savior, he sneaked into the "enemy base camp" under the arrangement of the organization. While dealing with Guan Xue, Pan Yue (played by Zhang Zixian), Hu Bin (played by Luan Yuanhui) and others, he collected intelligence and The story of protecting the vitality of the organization and ushering in the final victory.
The ratings of the drama have continued to rise since its launch. It is simulcast on Dragon TV, Beijing Satellite TV and Jiangsu Satellite TV, and Kuyun Broadcast has the highest market share of 17.61%; the drama also refreshed the popularity of iQiyi dramas on the first day of broadcast in 2024 The highest record and the fastest popularity record exceeded 8500, with the peak reaching 9350.
When the series came to the final chapter, each character in the series came to their own ending. Song Zhuowen witnessed the arrival of the new world under the flying red flag. Song Zhuowu, who had saved Guan Xue, died in the end because of Guan Xue's order. At the time of victory; Guan Xue, who represented the true decadent idea of privilege, was in a war criminal prison but still did not truly understand what a bright and independent world was; the violent and bloodthirsty Pan Yue died on a rainy night just like the young people he had killed with his own hands. ; Hu Bin, who went against the wheel of history, finally walked to the gallows... The ending of each character was determined from the moment they made their choice. Those who stick to their beliefs and have ideals will eventually usher in hope.
The play portrays the image of a large number of Communists who are not afraid of sacrifice: the mature and stable Lao Qian (played by Zhang Guoqiang) has already lost his family but never said a word, always supporting and guiding the actions of Song Zhuowen and Song Zhuowu; Lao Duan (played by Tian Xiaojie) has endured all kinds of things. He never gave in despite being tortured; when Dr. Shi rescued Lao Duan and handed over information, he knew that he was about to die soon and turned away with only the words "Don't look for me", which touched the tear ducts of countless viewers; he calmly dealt with Zhuo Wen and Zhuo Wen. Xia Tao, who had a flaw in the Wu family portrait, was polite and courteous, but fell into a pool of blood due to He Shan (played by Lin Jiachuan)'s betrayal; in order to ensure that Song Zhuowen's identity was not exposed, Xiao Wei resolutely chewed up the informant letter and swallowed it. Their throats were brutally cut by Pan Yue... While they brought soul tremors to the audience, they also made people feel the feelings of their family and country.
The play has many descriptions of historical details, whether it is Lao Duan's sentence "Eating rice has to be divided into three, six or nine grades", or Cui Anping's wife seemed to say when venting that "living until the end of the year is considered a joy or mourning" , all directly presented the difficult situation of ordinary people in China at that time. The few strokes hidden in seemingly inconspicuous corners of the plot directly connect the most hidden thread of "Harbin 1944". The series presents the numerous crimes committed by the Japanese Army's 731st Unit in China, including human experiments. , the release of poison gas, the spreading of bacterial bombs, the brutal and inhumane mass executions... all these shocking things have also made more viewers realize the significance of learning from history and not forgetting past shame.
At the same time, "Harbin 1944", through the words of Song Zhuowen, accuses those who have abandoned the nation and country, criticizes the backward and decadent forces represented by Guan Xue, and conveys the anti-imperialist and anti-aggression theme through the story of espionage and wits. At the same time, it also rarely conveys the core of anti-feudal thought, bringing a deeper understanding to the audience.The revolutionary ancestors represented by Song Zhuowen, facing the crazy counterattack of the aggressive forces and the difficult and cruel living environment, adhering to the unquenchable fire of faith in their hearts, trudged on the road to ideals and light without hesitation, which made the audience even more excited. I deeply appreciate the revolutionary ancestors’ unremitting persistence in their beliefs and their fearless spirit of sacrifice, and exported the fiery and dense power of faith.
