As of October 6, China's National Day Holiday box office surpassed 1.5 billion yuan (about $210 million), driven by the historical war epic 'The Volunteers: Peace at Last'.
The film vividly brings to life both fierce battles on the frontlines and tense diplomatic negotiations during the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea. Audiences have been drawn in by its blend of large-scale action and intimate human stories.
Instead of focusing solely on heroics, the story highlights ordinary individuals whose choices shaped history. From frontline medics braving the cold trenches to negotiators in crowded meeting rooms, the film offers fresh perspectives on a defining chapter of the past.
Box office trends show viewers crave narratives that balance spectacle with emotional depth. Averaging roughly 250 million yuan per day, the holiday run proves powerfully that personal storytelling can drive blockbuster success.
Whether you’re a film fan, history buff, or simply searching for a compelling watch this holiday, 'The Volunteers: Peace at Last' delivers an unforgettable mix of action, drama, and heart.
