Trailer for the first release of "Winter and the Lion", starring Prince Qi of Du Chun and directed by Gao Xixi: War | Anti US Aid to Korea | Winter and the Lion
This year marks the 70th anniversary of the victory of the Korean War. On July 27th, the first trailer and commemorative day poster for the Korean War drama "Winter and the Lion" was released, which shocked and recreated the battlefield of the Korean War where ice and fire intertwined, iron and blood soaked. It paid tribute to the "cutest people" and showcased the heroic style of defending the country and fighting to the end.
As a key drama to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the victory of the Korean War, "Winter and the Lion" was produced by Yuan Jincun, written by Lan Xiaolong and Chen Qiongqiong, directed by Gao Xixi, starring Du Chun and Wang Ziqi, and starring Zhang Bo, Lu Nuo, Ji Ta, Yu Zhen, Zheng Wei, Yu Bin, Xue Qi, and Ju Jiang. Li Chen, Ying Er, and Chen Yicheng also made special appearances.
The War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea was a modern war carried out under extremely unequal forces between the warring parties. In extremely difficult circumstances, the Chinese People's Volunteer Army closely cooperated with the North Korean military and civilians, creating a magnificent and majestic cause of war. For the first time, this drama tells the story of the "Steel Seventh Company" soldiers climbing on ice, lying in snow, fighting with blood, and defending their country from the perspective of a company during the Korean War.
In the first trailer released by "Winter and the Lion", one person and one horse walked in the midst of a snowstorm, blocking the advance of mechanized American troops with a horizontal spear in the sky and earth. The heroic spirit of Wu Wanli, a soldier from the Steel Seventh Company, who was once in charge of the pass but could not escape, and who said, "Although there are millions of people, I am going forward," has left the mountains and rivers pale. "There are no living heroes in the Seventh Company" and "Remember with your life that you are the 67th soldier of the Steel Seventh Company" have demonstrated the spirit, courage, backbone, and confidence of the Chinese People's Volunteer Army.
Winter and Lion Release Anniversary Poster
"Victory needs proof," on the commemorative poster released by "Winter and the Lion," these six red letters stand out in the center. After experiencing bloody battles on the battlefield, the smoke gradually dissipates. The light shines through the thin mist, illuminating a layer of white snow, creating a peaceful and solemn atmosphere. The red flag symbolizing victory flutters in the wind, and hunting sounds. Three volunteer soldiers who fought bravely with unwavering determination, looked up at the red flag, and won the victory with their flesh and blood and steel will, standing up the backbone of the Chinese nation and Chinese soldiers. "Lions do not belong to winter, but the lions in winter are still lions." The warriors of Steel Seven Company are the lions who guard the country's gates with their physical bodies. On the battlefield of Changjin Lake, they fought against American planes and tanks with 38 large covers, and fought against the severe cold of minus 40 degrees Celsius with thin cotton jackets.
"Winter and the Lion" is produced by Zhejiang Cultural Industry Investment Group Co., Ltd. and Zhejiang Culture Film Group Co., Ltd. It will be released on CCTV One in August this year.
