Historical data. In order to strive for reality, the crew chose to shoot night scenes in real ice and snow, and the weather remained basically below minus 20 degrees.
Some staff members said that they feel that they have used the night scenes and mountain climbing all their lives in this scene.
Of course, this history is worthy of the efforts of all the creators to restore the truth to the best of their ability.
Ice-blooded Changjin Lake
Changjin Lake battle is one of the most important battles in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea .
From November 27th to December 24th, 1950, the 3 corps of the 9th Corps of the Chinese People’s Volunteers held a battle with the 10th Army of the US Army, which is world-class in weapons and equipment, in the frozen Changjin Lake area. The direct competition set a record for an entire regiment of US troops in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea.
Volunteer soldiers are mostly from Jiangnan water towns. Many people even saw such a big snow for the first time in their lives and had no experience in keeping out the cold. The supply line was blocked by U.S. military planes, and many supplies could not keep up. Everyone took out cotton wool from the thin quilt to make gloves to keep warm.
In order to covertly, the soldiers often climb mountains after dark, and they can’t make a fire and cook. They can only fill up their hunger with a handful of fried noodles and a handful of snow.
And under such difficult conditions, the soldiers hurriedly crossed two to three hundred kilometers from the border between China and North Korea to the Changjin Lake area, and caught the US military by surprise.
US generals described the Volunteers as "out of sight" in his memoirs: Many times the US soldiers did not respond, and the Volunteer soldiers touched their vicinity during the night and launched a violent charge. They were so nervous that they were even sleeping, and they looked forward to ending the war and returning home as soon as possible.
Prior to this, the powerful American army had never expected that the volunteer army would succumb to it.
Some netizens said: Changjin Lake has been a tragic history that many people have begun to forget among the younger generation, but this nation-building battle should not be forgotten.
Although the war did not completely end until three years later, the US and coalition forces completely withdrew from North Korea on August 12, 1954. (This is also the origin of the movie's original release time.) However, the Battle of Changjin Lake allowed the volunteers to regain the vast eastern area north of the 38th Parallel, reversed the battlefield situation in one fell swoop, and laid the foundation for the final armistice negotiations.
At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, the coalition forces of 20,000 and 8 countries could easily enter Beijing, and the Japanese Kwantung Army occupied the entire northeast in more than three months. Just one year after the founding of New China, under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, the Volunteer Army can defeat hundreds of thousands of " United Nations " led by the US military for 500 kilometers outside the border.
Victory in resisting U.S. aggression and aggression against Korea is a real victory, which is achieved by defeating the invaders and the peace of the country and the people.Clan pride and self-confidence have since taken root in the hearts of every Chinese people.
The filming location behind "Changjin Lake"
This time "Changjin Lake" also used the filming location of last year's movie " King Kong River ", Dandong, Liaoning.
In order to fit the history, the shooting was specially selected in winter
Starting from Dandong Railway Station , it takes only 10 minutes to walk to the city landmark-"Broken Bridge". The volunteer army crossed the Yalu River from here 71 years ago to the battlefield of the Korean War.
For the theme of Resisting US Aid Korea, Broken Bridge and Kuandian, which are only a river away from North Korea, are suitable places to restore history.
There is also the only thematic memorial hall in the country that comprehensively reflects the history of the Chinese People’s War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea and the Movement to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea- Memorial Hall to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea . Although Dandong also has many eco-tourism attractions, the older generation will come here to take a look.
and netizens previously revealed that "Changjin Lake" was filmed in their hometown, and an uninhabited island has been converted into a fishing village for filming. The place he said should be Changxing, Huzhou. The scenes of the two brothers in their hometown and on the train should have been done here.
More film location information was not disclosed before the film was released. But I believe that after watching this film, many people should include the Yalu River as one of the must-go places in their lives.
