What happens

The Nanchang Uprising (originaltittel: Nanchang qi yi) er er kinesisk krigsdrama fra 1981 regissert av Tang Xiaodan. Filmen skildrer Nanchangopprøret, som var det første store slaget mellom Kuomintang og Kinas kommunistparti under den kinesiske borgerkrig. Ledende roller spilles av Kong Xiangyu, Gao Zhang-Li og Liu Huai-Zheng. Filmens fremstilling av de historiske forholdene regnes for å ligge nær opp til det som var det offisielle kinesisk synet på den tiden filmen ble produsert. Den ble tildelt prisen for fremragende film ved Huabiao Awards (delt med flere filmer). Filmen er også kjent under den engelske tittelen Uprising of Nam Cheong City. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
