Huang Jingyu and Wang Yibo share their thoughts on filming
Zhong Chuxi emotionally recalls the sacrifice of peacekeeping heroes
Talking about the role of Yu Weidong he played, Huang Jingyu described it as "cold in face and warm in heart" and "protecting shortcomings". Although he usually seems taciturn, when a team member encounters danger or criticism, it is this domineering captain who is always at the forefront. Although soft at heart, he fights without hesitation. In the film, the action scene in which Yu Weidong fights a man weighing more than 200 pounds is very enjoyable to watch. For this scene, Huang Jingyu said that the actor opposite him is as good at jujitsu as himself, so the two people who "make friends through martial arts" "hit it off" and became a great actor. The addition of jujitsu movements to this scene also makes the scene more watchable.
In the film, the scene where peacekeeping police officer Yang Zhen, played by Wang Yibo, was captured and tortured also made many viewers gasp. The thug pinched Yang Zhen's shoulder without mercy, causing the already injured wound to tear and bleed again. Through Wang Yibo's performance, Yang Zhen's pain seemed to be conveyed to the audience across the big screen. When talking about this scene, Wang Yibo said that for Yang Zhen, what he was thinking about at the time was to stick to the bottom line of the police, "no one should give in to the thugs no matter what, and protect his teammates."
Liaison officer Ding Hui is played by Zhong Chuxi. She is a gentle and tough character. In the film, the scenes of her protecting foreign children regardless of her own safety moved many people. In order to shape the role of the liaison officer well, Zhong Chuxi learned French from scratch. During the filming, she practiced repeatedly anytime and anywhere until she could blurt out a large section of French lines and was satisfied. Outside the play, Zhong Chuxi also took the initiative to learn about the real experiences of many peacekeeping police officers. The words written by the sacrificial peacekeeping police officers and Zhihong in their diaries were still fresh in her memory. "I may be just a feather in the world, but I also want to carry the wish of peace in the way of a feather." When Zhong Chuxi said this emotionally, the audience was deeply moved.

Police University students thanked the creator for igniting the police dream
On that day, dozens of former peacekeeping police officers and more than 200 students from the Chinese People’s Police University watched the film and resonated deeply with it. Director Li Dachao admitted that the original starting point for the film was actually when he heard the news that eight Chinese peacekeeping policemen had died in the mission area, and he was deeply touched at that time. Mao Rongfeng, an equipment expert of the Ministry of Public Security and a first-class meritorious official who went overseas to perform peacekeeping-related tasks more than 10 times during his service, said emotionally, "I am a comrade-in-arms of those eight martyrs."

Another girl shared that her father is also a police officer. She shared her childhood experience: "My father has been engaged in front-line work all year round, and we were rarely together and away from each other."

Overseas friends from different countries all said "Thank you, China" and "The stronger China is, the more peaceful the world will be"!

This is the meaning of the film, "I am very happy that this seed Can sprout."
