Director Dong Yachun said when talking about the original intention of creation: "Crossing the Yalu River" is to explain this period of great history clearly, clearly, and thoroughly from the perspective of the command and decision-making levels of the enemy and us. In what kind of international and domestic environment was the decision to send troops, how Peng Dehuai was ordered to lead the troops out in the face of danger, how the five battles and the Battle of Shangganling were fought, and how the reputation of the 38th Army's "Long Live Army" was born...

The heroes stood up to face the enemy's continuous artillery fire and dense rain of bullets, and built an indestructible great wall of iron blood for the motherland and the people behind them. The fierce and magnificent war narrative and the moving heroes' group portraits awaken people's blood-boiling heroic dreams and ignite the patriotic feelings in our hearts to be proud of the country and win glory for the country.
In the film, there is such a moving scene: Commander Peng Dehuai has a serious look, the corners of his eyes are wet, and he pays tribute to the soldiers who have returned from the smoke of the war with military salutes. During the filming of the film, in order to better show the characters and find the feeling of that year, Ding Yongdai, who played Peng Dehuai, and Liu Zhibing, who played Deng Hua, listened to the song "My Motherland" every day when they put on makeup. Some people commented that this is "the most vivid and vivid image of Mr. Peng that I have seen so far."
