According to the public announcement of the National Film Bureau, it is jointly produced by Aobo Pictures Zhejiang Co., Ltd. and Beijing Aobo Meiya Film Co., Ltd. Li Jing is the producer, military writers Liu Jianwei and Zhang Jun are screenwriters, and Li Jing and Pang Yang are producers. The film "Decisive Battle on Ganling", planned by Zhang Jun and Song Guolin, was approved. The film tells the story of our army and more than 100,000 enemy troops fought for 43 days on a position of about 3.7 square kilometers in Shangganling in the 1950s. The fierce battle was rare. Our army has produced heroes and created an unbreakable eastern barrier.
The last movie "Shangganling" that reflected this battle was directed by Sha Meng and Lin Shan in 1956, starring Gao Baocheng, Xu Linge, Zhang Liang, and Liu Yuru. It has been 63 years ago. As a modern hot power war film, "Shangganling" has a very strong storyline, and it pays more attention to the display of positional warfare. The audience does not know the final outcome of the battle until the last moment. It can be said that this is a model among Chinese feature films. The duration of 124 minutes does not show any procrastination. This is what we should learn from many movies now.
"Shangganling" is one of the must-see movies when I was young. It is a relatively excellent theme song, especially the theme song "My Motherland", which has been popular for generations. A big river is wide and the wind blows the fragrance of rice and flowers on both sides..., an episode in Chinese movies Few of them are still sung for people like the song "My Motherland". "Shangganling" is based on the real battle of Shangganling. A battle has such a significant impact on the overall situation of a war, and the battle of Shangganling, regardless of its cruelty and importance, can be said to be rare in the history of Chinese and foreign wars in ancient and modern times.
The Battle of Shangganling is known as the Battle of Verdun in the Korean War, and the meat grinder is so famous. The film was released only in the fourth year after the end of the battle. It is not easy and it also shows the importance of this battle. The movie
tells the story of the most crucial stage of victory in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. During the negotiations in Panmunjom, the US military secretly mobilized a large number of troops and launched a surprise attack. The goal of the US military is very clear. It is to capture Shangganling and use it as a stronghold to seize the Five Sacred Mountains and increase the bargaining chip at a time. The eighth company of a certain unit of the Chinese People's Volunteers is guarding Shangganling. In the face of much more enemy forces than ours, the Volunteers did not back down, but chose to resist stubbornly in order to delay the time of the US military and smash the enemy's conspiracy. The company, led by company commander Zhang Zhongfa (played by Gao Baocheng), fought bloody battles with the US military. Although the environment in the tunnel was harsh and faced with the danger of water and food shortages, the volunteers insisted on holding on for 24 days, laying a solid foundation for the Chinese and North Korean coalition counterattack. The tall hero images and the harsh war scenes in the film
are moving in retrospect. I look forward to the new movie "Decisive Battle in Shangganling" that can still capture the feelings of family and country back then, the kind of passionate emotion!
Also, don’t forget that song that deeply expresses strong patriotism and sings the infinite love and heroism of volunteer soldiers for the motherland and hometown: a big river with wide waves, and the wind blowing on both sides of the rice flowers. My family lives on the shore, I'm used to the chant of the father, and I'm used to seeing the white sails on the boat. This is the beautiful motherland and the place where I grew up...
