Battle at Lake Changjin pushes Chinese patriotism to peak

The Battle at Lake Changjin, whose box office is expected to be the largest in Chinese film history, has pushed the patriotic sentiment of people across the country to a peak amid the tense China-US competition and China's effective control of the epidemic, Chinese film observers said.

As of Thursday afternoon, the film had grossed 3.36 billion yuan ($521 million), according to Chinese ticketing platform Maoyan, far more than the hit Hollywood films Venom:?Let There Be Carnage?and?No Time to Die, in the market overseas.

The film?tells the story of how Chinese People's Volunteers (CPVs) soldiers held their ground amid fierce cold and the enemy's more advanced weapons during the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea (1950-53).?
"Based on current box office trends and data, the box office of?The Battle at Lake Changjin?could eventually exceed 5 billion yuan, and it's expected to topple the 5.69 billion yuan earned by?Wolf Warriors 2," Shi Wenxue, a film critic based in Beijing, told the Global Times on Thursday, calling it "a war epic that represents the highest level of Chinese film industrialization."

Eight days after its premiere on Thursday, the war epic has smashed 14 box office records, including the single-day box office record and the cumulative box office record in the National Day holidays as a historical film.

Most moviegoers who watched the film told the Global Times that they were touched by the scenes where Chinese solider Yang Gensi picked up an explosive bag and died with the US enemies, and a total of 125 CPVs were frozen to death on the battlefield.?

Some cinemas offered cooked potatoes and water for commemoration. A video about a young woman in Southwest's China's Yunnan Province experiencing how Chinese soldiers ate frozen potatoes on the battlefield has gone viral on social media. In the video, she makes a lot of effort to bite off just a small piece, she then bursts into tears.

The success of?The Battle at Lake Changjin?proved that patriotism is the simplest emotion rooted in the heart of every Chinese.
