From October 25 to November 23, 2025, a special film exhibition rolled out across ten cities on the Chinese mainland, marking the 75th anniversary of the Chinese People's Volunteer Army's heroic role in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. Hosted by the China Film Group Corporation, the series featured more than 2,000 screenings of classic war films.
What's caught everyone's attention? Senior audiences have been showing up in droves, cozying into cinema seats for hits like "The Volunteers" trilogy. For many elderly viewers, these screenings aren't just movies—they're a chance to relive shared memories and honor the past. ❤️👏
But it isn't just a trip down memory lane. The event's savvy marketing used social media teasers, behind-the-scenes clips, and nostalgia-driven posters to spark interest—and it worked wonders. 🎬✨ Young people are also tuning in, curious about this pivotal chapter in history and eager to connect with their grandparents' stories.
As the lights dim and the big screen lights up, these war films are doing more than entertain; they're bridging generations and keeping history alive. Whether you're a history buff, a cinephile, or someone looking for a powerful story, this exhibition has something for everyone. 🌟
