On the evening of November 16, the 37th China Film Golden Rooster Awards Ceremony was held, and the major awards were announced one by one.

"The Sinking of the Lisbon Maru" won the Best Documentary/Educational Film Award, actor Liu Dan won the Best Supporting Actress for his role as Su Nianzhen in "Going Away", and Chung Rui and Qian Tiantian won the Best Cinematography Award for "Passionate".
The Golden Rooster Award, the Huabiao Award and the Hundred Flowers Award are also known as the three major Chinese film awards. They have always adhered to the awarding purpose of "academic, contention, and democracy". The films it selects reflect the current creative direction of Chinese films and audience preferences, have content that is in line with the spirit of the times and expressions that speak directly to people's hearts, and can achieve innovation and breakthroughs in Chinese film creation in the fields of industrial production and plot narrative.
The same is true for the award-winning film "The Sinking of the Lisbon Maru". The film, produced and directed by Fang Li, presents a little-known history of World War II - the whole story of the sinking of the "Lisbon Maru" ship after the outbreak of the Pacific War in the 1940s. The
team spent 8 years spanning the United Kingdom, the United States, Japan, Australia and other countries, as well as Hong Kong and Zhoushan, China, and recorded a large number of oral historical materials and precious historical documents from the descendants of the parties involved, vividly recalling the heroic rescue of the "Lisbon Maru" by Zhoushan fishermen in 1942 "The touching deeds of the Allied prisoners of war on the ship.
The selection committee of this year's Golden Rooster Award believes that the film has salvaged forgotten memories and also created an image of respectable, amiable and lovely Chinese people.

Fang Li said: "The filming of "The Sinking of the Lisbon Maru" was our solemn promise to the more than 2,000 families behind the more than 1,800 Allied prisoners of war and nearly 200 Zhoushan fishermen. Commitment." At the award ceremony that night, he also said: "I am very happy that this paragraph has been buried. 82 "Years of history can be seen by more and more people today." To this day, he still feels lucky: "I spent 8 years 'filling a gap in history', and I was lucky enough to grab history at the last moment. So many stories."
Since the film was released on September 6, more and more people have joined the queue to watch and "salvage" the film. The film's key was postponed twice, and the release date was extended to December 5; the box office exceeded 45 million yuan, breaking the highest box office record for domestic documentaries in the past five years; Douban scored 9.3, becoming the highest-rated domestic film so far in 2024.
Just after "The Sinking of the Lisbon Maru" won the award, many people left messages online saying: "It is well deserved." This is the huge energy gathered by a good movie, which seems to tell the story of the "Lisbon Maru". It will disappear over time, but it still affects people today.
Throughout the history of the Golden Rooster Awards, since the famous Zhejiang director Xie Jin won the Best Feature Film Award and the Best Director Award at the first Golden Rooster Awards for his film "Legend of Tianyun Mountain", Zhejiang-produced films, Zhejiang filmmakers and Zhejiang Film and Television Company have never been absent. At the same time, Zhejiang films have gradually moved from the second and third tiers of the first Golden Rooster Awards to the first tier today.
"Leaving on a Boat" poster
For example, the movie "Leaving on a Boat" tells the story of death and farewell that every Chinese family needs to face in a calm and restrained tone. Director Chen Xiaoyu used the water town of Deqing, his hometown in Huzhou, as the background of the story. He used various Jiangnan scenery to give the film a poetic and picturesque atmosphere, conveying the melancholy and emotion of life like flowing water and a phantom.
The poster of "Hot"
is another example of the sports movie "Hot" dedicated to the Hangzhou Asian Games. Through the element of street dance, it shows the hardships and difficulties of small people pursuing their dreams, capturing themes such as youth, passion and inspiration, and bringing a new experience to the audience. A visual and emotional feast. The film also became the box office champion of sports films in Chinese film history with a box office of 913 million yuan.
These works have different themes and contents. The awards are due to Zhejiang filmmakers’ precise control of the pulse of the times, as well as the Zhejiang Film and Television Army’s continuous exploration in artistic creation and film industry aesthetics.
Although the 37th China Golden Rooster Awards has come to an end, we are still looking forward to the development of Chinese films and hope that there will be more acclaimed and popular films produced in Zhejiang in the future.
