Features: This book is one of the volumes in the "Series on the Research of Chinese Film for a Century."

The first three chapters describe the early technological development of Chinese cinema, while the following six chapters reflect the gradual transformation of China's film technology under the leadership of the Party and the state after liberation—from maintenance and imitation to independent research and development, from the reform and opening-up to the new era of film development.

The book consists of nine chapters, with the first three describing the early technological development of Chinese cinema, and the last six reflecting the gradual transformation of China's film technology after liberation—from maintenance and imitation to independent research and development, from the reform and opening-up to the new era of film development.
