A nationwide film exhibition commemorating the 75th anniversary of the Chinese People's Volunteer Army's participation in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea has concluded, leaving a profound cultural imprint. The recently ended event, organized by the China Film Group Corporation, attracted diverse audiences while particularly resonating with older generations through strategic programming and outreach.
Held from October 25 to November 23 across ten cities, the exhibition featured more than 2,000 screenings of historical epics including the critically acclaimed "The Volunteers" trilogy. Special arrangements for elderly attendees saw packed theaters, with many describing the films as "emotional time capsules" connecting them to their youth during pivotal moments in modern Chinese history.
"These screenings aren't just entertainment – they're living history lessons," remarked 78-year-old Beijing resident Zhang Wei, who attended three screenings. The corporation's spokesperson noted the initiative's success in "bridging generational understanding through shared cultural experiences."
While the exhibition formally concluded last week, its cultural impact continues through post-screening discussions and digital content partnerships with streaming platforms. The event's blend of historical preservation and contemporary storytelling has set new benchmarks for public engagement with China's revolutionary heritage.
