Controversy

Around March 2009, when Huang Yanpei was still in production, it elicited strong criticism from Huang Fangyi (黄方毅), one of Huang Yanpei's sons. Huang Fangyi wrote on an online blog that his family members were extremely displeased with the historical inaccuracies and errors in the television series, and that they strongly objected to Zhang Tielin portraying his father on screen. Huang Fangyi further described in the following points:

Huang Fangyi mentioned that he wrote to the producers, providing suggestions for changes to be made. However, except for some kind words, he did not receive any further response from them. He was not satisfied as he felt that the television series deeply affected his family emotionally, and said that they would continue to protest.[1]
