Lights dim, the screen flickers… 🎥
From October 25 to November 23, cinemas across the Chinese mainland are rolling out a powerful line-up of war films to mark the 75th anniversary of the Chinese People’s Volunteer Army's historic march to assist Korea during the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea.
Highlights include Chen Kaige's acclaimed trilogy "The Volunteers" and the blockbuster "The Battle at Lake Changjin" series. These films, celebrated for their epic storytelling and breathtaking battle scenes, invite audiences to step into the boots of soldiers who faced freezing winters, rugged terrains and fierce battles—all in the name of solidarity and bravery.
For young viewers, it's more than just cinema—it’s a chance to connect with a defining chapter in modern history. Students, researchers and history buffs can discuss strategies, reflect on themes of camaraderie and explore how these stories still resonate today.
Whether you're part of the Asian diaspora looking to stay in touch with your roots, a traveler seeking cultural insights, or simply a movie lover up for an emotional ride, this film exhibition offers something for everyone. Grab your popcorn and immerse yourself in tales of courage and sacrifice that helped shape a generation.
