Co-directed by three legendary Chinese directors, Chen Kaige, Tsui Hark, and Dante Lam, the war epic "The Battle at Lake Changjin" is a milestone for the modern Chinese film industry and war film genre. It has grossed more than 5.77 billion yuan ($906 million) and became the biggest film of all time in China and the second highest-grossing film of this year worldwide, only second to Hollywood's superhero flick "Spider-Man: No Way Home." The phenomenal box office records of the film were made because of its high-quality, massive production, and broad resonance. The film, built around brothers played by two iconic Chinese actors, Wu Jing and Jackson Yee, and their band of heroic brothers in an epic battle, is packed with actions, sacrifices, patriotism, and the undefeated Chinese spirit that inspired them and will continue to inspire Chinese people. What's more, there's a sequel coming in 2022.
