On the evening of September 25, the "Golden Silk Road Award" of the 11th Silk Road International Film Festival was announced.

In 1942, the "Lisbon Maru" ship requisitioned by the Japanese army escorted more than 1,800 Allied prisoners of war back to Japan from Hong Kong, China. While passing through the waters of Zhoushan Islands in Zhejiang, the "Lisbon Maru", which did not have a prisoner-of-war transport sign, was hit by a US submarine. At the critical moment of life and death, hundreds of Zhoushan fishermen risked their lives and drove 46 fishing boats to save the lives of 384 Allied prisoners of war from the sea. This is an important testimony that China and Britain fought side by side as allies in the Second World War and jointly resisted fascist aggression. It is also a historical story of the profound friendship between the two peoples. After the movie

was released, it received praise from the audience on major platforms, with a score of 9.3 on Douban. However, the film's box office was far from good reputation. So far, the film's box office has exceeded 28.6 million. According to data from Maoyan Professional Edition, the film’s predicted box office is 40.985 million.

Regarding the box office performance of "The Sinking of the Lisbon Maru", Fang Li was mentally prepared at the beginning of the movie's release: This is a movie that cannot recover the cost. But he believes that salvaging this period of history and filming it is very worthwhile, so he is willing to sell his house to fill the movie hole. "I have been like this all my life. You judge the value of many things not by money, but by emotion and history. The most precious thing in this movie is not the history itself, but the time and space of history. The joys and sorrows of the people inside." Fang Li said that he was moved by the many stories surrounding the Lisbon Maru, so he wanted to share it with more audiences.
