Although "Ballad of a Soldier" depicts the 19-year-old correspondent Alyosha, he escaped from the writing of the war scenes. With the help of his return home to visit relatives, he encountered him on the road in the form of a road film. A series of stories about family, love, and friendship are presented, depicting the war for the audience in the interaction between people, making all of this so fragile. The director Chuhlai continued his new wave of creative changes, placing his perspective on the inner world of Alyosha and the inner world of ordinary people during the war, so that their vulnerability in the face of war can be seen at a glance, but on the contrary, the audience feels the same. This is the greatest force derived from mankind itself, that self-sacrifice, hope for life, etc., is the cornerstone of people's strong progress.
"Ballad of a Soldier" uses a flashback technique to tell the experience of the sacrificed Alyosha returning home for the last time. Regarding Alyosha's death, the film only gave a brief explanation at the beginning. But this made the regrets that Alyosha encountered when he returned home for the last time, full of tragedy, because he could no longer make up for it.
