Year: 1955

Film genre: plot, historical war

Region: Mainland China

Introduction: The film recorded the battle of the People's Liberation Army crossing the river to liberate China in the final stage of the three-year war of liberation. Qian Fan crossed the Yangtze River, planted the banner of victory in the Nanjing Presidential Palace, and overthrew the Kuomintang, which had been carrying out reactionary rule over the people of China for nearly 22 years. Then the army moved on and liberated Suzhou, Hangzhou and Shanghai one after another. In actual combat, the film documentary "Millions of Heroes Down the South", which completely recorded the battle of crossing the river, was shot by the war photographer of the Central News Film Documentary Factory during the 1949 battle of crossing the river. At that time, they were all young men in their twenties, but now they are all over the ages, but they still have vivid memories of the past. Wu, the general manager, said in an interview: The Battle of Crossing the River was the biggest investment and scale of the photography team. Nine photographers were divided into nine photography teams, and 23 people participated in the field shooting. At the beginning of the war, Su Yu called the cadres above the group to hold a military meeting, which was to take action, where to fight, which troops were in which position and how to fight, with maps and walls. At that time, Comrade Wu saw that Su Yu spoke calmly and methodically, so he took photos with the machine. After the interview, I promised my uncle Wu, who lives in the same hospital with me, that I would invite him to come and watch the movie after I finished filming. Unexpectedly, when our film was synthesized in the later stage, Uncle Wu left us forever, and the battle of crossing the river he told us in front of the camera turned out to be out of print.
