on september 11, the popular and highly rated movie "the sinking of the lisbon maru" came to chengdu for a road show. the film restored the historical truth before and after the sinking of the japanese cargo ship carrying british prisoners of war during world war ii, and recalled the heroic deeds of zhoushan fishermen who risked their lives to rescue the allied forces who fell into the water.
fang li, the producer and director of "the sinking of the lisbon maru", is from chengdu. he is also a marine engineer and geophysicist. at emei 1958 cinema, the atmosphere was very lively. one audience member said that he watched it more than once that day. "this is a great movie that tells a great story. rather than being a chinese version of dunkirk, it is better to say that this is china's own dongji island rescue. this movie is very touching, but it is not deliberately sensational. it tells a story that we have forgotten in a very restrained way."

there was also a young director at the scene who hoped fang li would give some advice. fang li said frankly that it is very important to make a movie, "when some stories or emotional expressions are shared, will we shed tears? can we touch ourselves?" for fang li, a movie must first move himself before it can move the audience. just as one of the original intentions of filming "the sinking of the lisbon maru" was to talk with the families and descendants of those prisoners of war, the heartbreaking stories made people cry. he must record it and share this history and these true stories with more people.
