| Chinese War Drama Wins Highest Grossing Film of 2021 |
| 2021-10-26 |
| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [KinoNews] Chinese war drama " The Battle of Chosin Reservoir " became the highest grossing film of 2021. As a result of the past weekend, her cumulative box office receipts exceeded $828.1 million, which allowed it to oust from the first place another Chinese-made project, the comedy "Hello, Mom," which finished at one time with $821 million. It is noteworthy that this outstanding result of the "Battle of the Chosin Reservoir" was achieved almost exclusively at the national box office. The film is set in the early 50s of the last century during the Korean War, when the Chinese armed forces managed to encircle a large group of American troops. Popular actor Hanyu Zhang played one of the key roles . Note that not a single Hollywood film project, even released worldwide, has managed to compete with blockbusters produced in China. The most successful American film at the time of this publication was the action movie Fast and Furious 9, which grossed $716 million. |

| #5 Was going to ask if the movie is any good, then remembered Air Strike, which even Bruce Willis couldn't carry me more than 15 minutes into the prop flick. This might be a little better: |

| #4 Have you ever heard of TF Faith, the Arm's 31st RGT that fought on the east side of the Chosin Reservoir? I first read about them in Roy E. Appleman's East of Chosin(1987) covering the brief life and death as they slowed down a CCF juggernaut. Only recently has their sacrifice been more than a footnote or a scurrilous comment implying that "they broke and ran"... |
