What happens

Cross the Chishui River Four Times (originaltittel: Si du Chishui) er en kinesisk krigsfilm fra 1983 regissert av Cai Jiwei og Gu Dexian. Filmen handler om slaget om elva Chishui, et slag som stod mellom kommunistene og nasjonalistene i 1935 under den kinesiske borgerkrigen. Rollen som Mao spilles av Gu Yue, mens andre sentrale roller spilles av Xuecheng Fu, Ange Jin, Tang Guoqiang og Zhao Hengduo. 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) og fikk juryens spesialpris ved Gullhanen. Filmen er også kjent under de engelske titlene Four Crossings of Chishui og Crossing the Red Water Four Times. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
