What happens

Liberation of Nanjing (originaltittel: Feng yu xia zhong shan) er et kinesisk krigsdrama fra 1982 regissert av Yuan Xian, Li Po og Wei Lin-Yu. Filmen handler om kommunistenes erobring av Nanking under den kinesiske borgerkrig. Dette skjedde helt i sluttfasen av krigen og Nanjing var nasjonalistenes siste skanse på Fastlands-Kina før de måtte rømte til Taiwan. Hovedrollene spilles av Zhang Keyao (som Mao), Wang Tiecheng (som Zhou Enlai) og Zhao Deng-Feng (som Zhu De), mens Sun Feihu spiller rollen som Chiang Kai-shek. Den ble tildelt prisen for fremragende film ved Huabiao Awards (delt med flere filmer). Filmen er også kjent under den engelske tittelen Go Down Zhong Mountain. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
