What happens

Ji Hong Chang er en kinesisk biografisk krigsdramafilm fra 1979 regissert av Li Guanghui og Qi Xing-Jia. Filmen skildrer livet til den patriotiske kinesiske generalen Ji Hongchang som ble henrettet av Chiang Kai-sheks regime i 1934. Hongchang var opprinnelig en av Kai-sheks generaler, men havnet i unåde da han nektet å angripe kommunistenes hær på grunn av den japanske trusselen mot landet. Han gikk senere over til kommunistene, men ble utsatt for attentat og henrettet i 1934. Rollen som Hongchang spilles av Da Qi. Den ble kåret til beste film ved Hundred Flowers Awards (delt med Tear Stains og The Little Flower) og prisen for fremragende film ved Huabiao Awards. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
