The cinema was introduced into China at the end of the 19th century. On August 11,1896, a Western film was shown in Shanghai. It was the first film shown in China. In 1950, a photo studio in Beijing made the first Chinese film which was only a collection of scenes from a Beijing opera based on the classical novel The romance of the Three Kingdoms. In the early thirties, under the leadership of the Chinese Communist Party, film personnel in the Kuomintang ruled areas produced many progressive and revolutionary films such as Spring Silkworms, Plunder of Peach and Plum, Three Modern Women, The Great Road, Song of the Fishermen, and Crossroad. These films reflect the realities of society and the wishes of the people.

During the Anti-Japanese War, many progressive films were made in the Kuomintang controlled areas. Among them were Defend Our Land, The March of Victory, The North Is Ours, Sons and Daughters of China, and The snowy Taihang Mountains. The films reflect the people's demand for resistance against Japan.

After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the Kuomintang reactionaries established their monopoly of the film industry. In spite of the oppression and persecution by the Kuomintang, progressive film-makers, led by the underground Party organizations, produced a group of excellence film. Remote Love, Along the Songhua River, Eight Thousand Li of Cloud and Moon, and The Spring of River Flows East are all about the people's life or struggles during the War of Resistance against Japan. Myriads of Lights and Crows and Sparrows depict the people's sufferings under the the rule of the Kuomintang.

In the liberated areas, the founding of the Yan'an Film Group marks the starting point of the people's film industry. This group, established under the direct leadership of the Communist Party in 1938, shot valuable documentaries which include Yan'an and the Eighth Route Army, Dr. Norman Bethune, and Nanniwan. In 1946, the Yan'an    Film Studio was found. The newsreel Defend Yan'an and the Shanxi-Gansu-Nigxia Border Areas, produced by the studio, recorded part of the liberation War. In October, 1946, the Northeast Film Studio was established in the Northeast Liberation War. Its main production were seventeen newsreels entitled The Democratic Northeast.
Many films made before the founding of the People's Republic of China have strong points and qualities which contemporary film-makers should study and develop. Many old progressive films adopted a realistic style; therefore they reflect Chinese society and the lives the people and shoe sympathy for the oppressed and exploited. Early film-makers were clear about the purpose of their work: to make the plot development, customs and habits, language and acting their films conform to the taste of the audience. It is obvious that the pioneers of China's progressive films made great contributions to the development of China's film industry.
