- When the crew grew to fifty or sixty people, they learned that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs had rejected the script.
- Originally, Chuan Lu designed a rape scene for Jiang Shuyun, played by Gao Yuanyuan, but Gao Yuanyuan collapsed during the shooting. She shouted at Chuan Lu how to shoot like this, and finally Chuan Lu failed to convince Gao Yuanyuan.

- The drum for the part of the Japanese sacrifice is a copycat drum made in Henan. If this drum is customized from Japan, it would cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.

After watching Thirteen Hairpins, I remembered to mark this one. The film has five major shortcomings: loose plot, lack of ups and downs, cliché, lackluster ending, and it is too deliberate in many places to express sadness. There are also four major advantages: black and white creates a sense of fake documentary, including the details of priests, etc. This point is emphasized. The character of the character was deliberately highlighted. The character Xiaodouzi successfully gathered the beginning and end of the whole play. Brother Kadokawa and several actresses performed well, and did not deliberately accentuate the depiction of rape.
