VIDEO : Patriotic Chinese Films Rakes In Record $600 Million

Since its release last month, a film depicting a Chinese hero saving the day in a war-torn African country has quickly become China's highest-grossing film of all time, raking in over 600.11 million dollars at the box office. Analysts say that the film, which centers around a former Chinese special forces soldier who single-handedly evacuates Chinese citizens besieged by Western mercenaries in Africa, could also inspire China to make more such films. Dong Shu, a Shanghai-based independent film critic, said, "Chinese audiences love to see films that resonate with their own recognition of national identity and this movie is more advanced in quality, theme and topicality."
