A film by Sang Hu 桑弧 about industrial policy, The Second Spring 第二个春天 (1975) focuses on the '60s and the exodus of Soviet expertise after the Sino-Soviet split, while being intended as a warning to those that would open the country back up to foreign capital.

An earlier attempt to film The Second Spring was abandoned in the '60s, and it was revived in 1972 or 1973, not long after Nixon's visit and reformers being brought back into the fold after the death of Lin Biao.

The film tells the story of two factions in a shipyard: one wants to use foreign technology to build a warship, and the other—led by Feng Tao 冯涛 (Yu Yang 于洋), who gives that speech in the first clip—believes in independence and the Maoist line on industrial development.

Those that follow the revisionist line and blindly worship foreign expertise are doomed to fail. The foreign revisionists betray them. Their Flying Fish 飞鱼 is a disappointment. The self-sufficient red experts prevail with their Osprey 海鹰 design.
