Jin Gang Chuan, a film commemorating the heroic Chinese army during the Korean War, also known as the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea (1950-53), will hit cinemas on October 25 to mark 2020’s 70th anniversary of the Chinese People’s Volunteers’ participation to the war. 

Jin Gang Chuan is the next highly anticipated film from Chinese director Guan Hu following his recent success with war epic The Eight Hundred. The film tells the story of Chinese army soldiers as they endeavor to build and repair a bridge through the shower of bullets during the war.
