The Burning of the Red Lotus Temple, in 16 parts, is among the longest films ever produced and the longest major release,[specify] running 27 hours in total. The Mingxing Film Company production was released in 19 feature-length parts between 1928 and 1931. No copies have survived. The craze of the film series eventually led the Kuomintang to ban all wuxia films by the early 1930s, this was because wuxia was thought to be instilling anarchy and rebellion.[3]
