Synopsis

Description:
In 1974, a shocking secret that had been buried for over two thousand years was unearthed in Lintong, Shaanxi Province - the Terracotta Army of the Qin Dynasty. It is a huge pottery army and is known as the Eighth Wonder of the World. There has always been controversy in the historical academic circle about who the owner of the Terracotta Army really is. However, there is a fact that a strange symbol was retained on the Terracotta Army. After research, it turned out to be two characters - "Mi Yue". Through the vicissitudes of time, the name "Mi Yue" finally emerged again.
She was the first empress dowager in Chinese history, also the first recorded powerful female politician, and even more, a pioneer who laid a solid foundation for the Qin Empire. There were very few records about her in historical books. Perhaps in that patriarchal society, people were unwilling to spend too much ink on a female figure, or perhaps it was because she broke through the moral constraints on women in that era.
From being the lowly-ranked Mi Ba Zi to becoming the all-powerful Empress Dowager Xuan, how many struggles and sacrifices did she have to experience? In the imperial court and the imperial harem, this weak woman who once stood at the top of the Chinese land was destined to become an astonishing legend in history.
In December 2015, the famous director Zheng Xiaolong led the original cast of "Empresses in the Palace" to create another historical drama "The Legend of Mi Yue".

    The 28-year period from 1933-1961, bracketed on one end by Hitler’s rise to power in Germany and on the other by the very height of the Cold War, was marked by a remarkably stable succession of American presidents. In fact, only three men held office in this period, and that predictability led to a general stability among government agencies. Conversely, the CIA had five different directors in its first 15 years, from 1946-1961, and then nine different directors in the next 20, with four of those directors serving less than a year. But of all the CIA’s directors, none wielded the immense influence or power of Allen Dulles, who, together with his brother, Secretary of State John Foster Dulles, became arguably the two most powerful people in the government after the president.  
    	To this day, Dulles’ eight-year tenure in that office is the longest, and as one of the country’s leading experts in international law, intelligence, and spycraft, he became renowned for his unwavering anti-communist ideology and readiness to take decisive measures to counter what he perceived as a menace to American safety. As such, it would be Dulles who sanctioned many of the CIA’s most notorious operations, including the ousting of Iran's democratically elected government in 1953, spying and experimentation on American citizens, and the disastrous Bay of Pigs. That last episode cost him his job, though he continued to play a role in American political life after President John F. Kennedy forced him out of the CIA in 1961.  
    	By then, however, Dulles had already had an outsized influence on the direction of the country, and to this day his legacy can be felt, even as his reputation continues to be a source of much debate.

    Debbie: My Life is a heartfelt, feel-good autobiography that chronicles the rags-to-riches-to-rags story of the indomitable Debbie Reynolds. The much-beloved actress first grabbed America's heart when, as a poor 16-year-old, she entered and won the Miss Burbank contest. Ms. Reynolds went on to embody fresh-faced American grace and gumption in such classic films as Singing' in the Rain, How the West Was Won, and The Unsinkable Molly Brown. Debbie shares vivid memories of her public and private life: her widely publicized and turbulent marriages to Eddie Fisher and businessman Harry Karl; her experiences with other stars like Frank Sinatra, Gene Kelly, Bette Davis, Shelley Winters, Glenn Ford, Robert Wagner, and Fred Astaire; and her enduring relationships with her son, Todd Fisher, and daughter, actress and author Carrie Fisher. Against the backdrop of the Golden Age of Hollywood, Debbie: My Life—read by Reynolds herself—is a witty and frank account of a survivor whose screen performances have touched us all.
