Hung Liu was riveted as she watched eight female soldiers carrying the dead body of a comrade into the river. Liu was a young girl, and the soldiers in the film she was watching -- Daughters of China -- weren't much older. The 1949 Chinese Communist propaganda film by Zifeng Ling, about the 1938 Japanese occupation of China, stuck with Liu, and recently, those female warriors have appeared in her paintings.
