Patriotic film smashes box office records in China

“The Battle at Lake Changjin” has brought in 1 billion yuan in ticket sales over the past five days of the October National Day holiday. That’s more than the 2017 “Wolf Warrior 2,” also a patriotic film. The film tells the story of Chinese People’s Volunteers soldiers who fought in the war to resist US aggression and aid Korea from 1950 to 1953.
