"Xiao Tai Yang" (1963) was the first children's sci-fi film in New China. It follows a group of science-loving kids who, with scientists' help, develop a satellite to launch a small artificial sun, ending a harsh winter. During the Cultural Revolution, the film was condemned as 'poisonous,' and director Wang Minsheng (王敏生) was persecuted. It was only rehabilitated after the revolution.
