十月圍城 Bodyguards and Assassins
Went out with family to watch this movie. It was great! ha! alright shall give a brief intro to this movie to ppl who read my blog. LOL! Sun Yat Sen who is the Father of Modern China, came to Hong Kong from exile to carry out a meeting with the leaders of the provinces of China which were involved in the Revolution in Oct 1905. However, the Qing Empress Cixi gave an order to assassinate Sun as the Revolution was an attempt to overthrow the Qing Empire. In order to allow Sun to successfully reach Hong Kong and carry out the meeting, many followers as well as people who did not even know who they were protecting for, sacrificed themselves. In the end, many people died from the assassination, however, the meeting was a success and eventually after 6 years, there were many uprisings in the provinces occuring at the same time(the plot strategised at the meeting) and on 10th Oct 1911 (for those who took History should know this is a.k.a. the Double Tenth), the ineffcient and corrupted Qing Empire fell.
Not bad right! Sounds interesting! go catch it!
