In essence, in the decades before and after World War II, directors at home and abroad were full of interest in China's anti-Japanese war stories, leaving behind a variety of anti-Japanese film and television works, shooting civilians, comfort women, soldiers, and so on, and some works from decades ago were enough to throw away the anti-Japanese drama n streets.
Let's follow Yiduiread to open up this new continent and see how foreigners filmed Chinese anti-war dramas.

The young couple heard that China and Japan were about to go to war, ready to flee, and met many Japanese along the way, they "protected the monuments" and "drove away the thieves", so the couple was really warm in their hearts, felt the goodwill of the Japanese army, and went home and hung up the couplet of "turning the dry into a jade veil, China and Japan will always be friendly".

The story takes place between a Japanese veteran and a little brother and sister in China. The only calf of the brothers and sisters was taken by the Japanese army, and the two chased after them, but they were arrested. A Japanese veteran felt that the two children were pitiful, so he secretly let them go, and when the matter was revealed, the Japanese soldiers who protected them were killed by their superiors.
The film recreates many war scenes, and emotionally tends to Chinese people. As a witness to Sino-Japanese friendship, the former Japanese ambassador to China and others attended the premiere of the film.
