August 27, Shanghai Daily - Though mainstream traditional patriotic films find it hard to attract young audiences these days, Flow control valve film director Hu Xueyang wants to change all that with his latest work, "My Beloved China" which portrays a hero of China's revolution, Fang Zhimin. The film premiered in Jiangxi Needle valve Province, Fang's birthplace, last Thursday and is set for national release on September 8. According to Wang Tianyun, the movie's producer and vice president of Shanghai Film Group Corp, the film, which had a budget of more than 20 million yuan (US$2.9 million) is also a tribute to the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China this year. Starring Ren Chengwei, the movie centers on three periods of Fang's life - episodes entitled "Blood and Flesh," "Poverty" and "My Beloved China." They were the titles of three articles written by Fang after being put in prison by the Kuomintang in 1935. The hero's spirit gets full expression in the movie. "His faith, incorruptibility and spirit of sacrifice are displayed on the silver screen, which are exactly the merits lost in the current era," Wang says. |
