About Nankou in 1937
The famous Nankou Battle is a glorious page in the history of China's war of resistance. Faced with the Japanese army, the Chinese army mobilized tens of thousands of soldiers and fought tenaciously. Countless anti-Japanese soldiers fought on the battlefield and wrote a heroic song of "one inch of mountains and rivers and one inch of blood".
Directed by Dan Zhu, Nankou in 1937 leans on a strong ensemble — Sun Kan, Mei Li Er, Xie Fang — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about war titles of 2016.
