Dong Ji Dao

Dong Ji Dao is a film that condenses historical memory and the brilliance of humanity onto the big screen. It not only recreates the heroic maritime rescue by Zhoushan fishermen 83 years ago, but also truthfully presents the courage and kindness deeply rooted in their very bones. This is not merely a local memory - it is a story the whole world should witness.

The film's visual power is truly breathtaking. Whether it's the roaring waves of the sea, the sight of hundreds of fishing boats rushing to save lives, or the resistance that emerges after enduring oppression, each scene makes the audience feel as if they have traveled through time to personally experience those thrilling moments. This approach of revealing the truth through images makes the film not only an artistic expression but also a historical testimony.

Among the many moving characters, Zhu Yilong portrayal of A'Bi is undoubtedly the most stunning highlight of the film. Every scene featuring A'Bi is a moment of brilliance. Zhu Yilong performance is layered - combining the rugged courage of a warrior with the tender love and protection for his younger brother - moving audiences deeply.

Dongji Rescue's epic portrayal of this heart wrenching true story of human kindness must not be missed. From the opening scene until the ending credits I experienced a rollercoaster of emotions. Whilst early on there are a handful of light hearted moments these were soon forgotten as the story progressed, and by the time it had ended I found myself reaching for a tissue to wipe away the tears. The bravery, heroism, self sacrifice, and human kindness displayed by the Chinese people of Dongji Island is a lesson on how we should all live our lives. I can honestly say that this is a story that the world needed to hear, and is an absolute movie making masterpiece, a must see.

The movies from Dongji Island are very good!!!

IMAX underwater special shooting breaks records with world-class special effects!

This is not only a war movie, but also a hymn to humanity, courage, and kindness.

At the end, the scene of a hundred ships going to sea is magnificent, demonstrating the tenacity and resistance of the Chinese people. After watching it, people are excited and it is a masterpiece that cannot be missed.

First of all, this is the true meaning of movies - to popularize those unknown events.

From the perspective of the Chinese people, the East Polar Island starts from tolerance, then anger, and finally outbreak!

The protagonist Zhu Yilong in Dongji Island is so beautiful, with a vibrant vitality, suppressed wildness, revitalized blood, as well as inherent kindness and endless love. Yes, Ah Nan is good at loving people, loving her younger brother, loving Ah Hua, and loving the world before being submerged by the waves!

Supporting the diversification of Chinese cinema, rather than just listening to the wind and rain. Audiences select good movies, and we need to personally verify them.

I want to brush twice, three times, and three times!

The blood and kindness of Chinese people deserve to be seen by the world!

With his portrayal of Abi in Dongji Rescue, Zhu Yilong delivers yet another masterclass in character acting - a raw, nuanced study of a fisherman's metamorphosis that now stands proudly among his most iconic roles: the chillingly convincing villain He Fei in Lost in the Stars, the deeply moving Sange in Lighting Up the Stars, and the psychologically complex Ma Zhe in Only the River Flows. In this career-defining performance, Zhu charts Abi's journey from reluctant protector to battle-hardened warrior with such visceral authenticity that it transcends language barriers.

Zhu's complete physical immersion impresses audiences from the first frame. To embody Abi's rugged fisherman physique, he achieved an astonishing 9.5% body fat through grueling preparation. But his commitment extends far beyond aesthetics - in breathtaking underwater sequences (performed without stunt doubles), Zhu trained to hold his breath for 4.5 minutes and free-dive 15 meters, creating action scenes of unparalleled realism where every gasp for air feels viscerally real.

Zhu's genius shines through his mastery of micro-expressions and body language. Through Zhu's layered performance, Abi becomes more than a wartime protagonist - he embodies the dualities of human nature itself. We see the primal survival instinct of a cornered animal, the burning rage of vengeance, yet always the underlying compassion of China's fishing communities. Zhu refuses to play him as a nationalist symbol or action hero, but as a profoundly relatable man whose courage springs not from ideology, but from love for his loved ones.

To fully appreciate both Zhu's physical performance and the film's brilliant cinematography, Dongji Rescue demands to be seen in IMAX.

I would recommend everyone to watch this movie. I was very moved by this movie, which exposes an unknown history. On this sea, both the Chinese and the British have shown solidarity and tenacity. It's the embodiment of internationalism. I am very happy to have such a movie in this era. On top of that, the picture and sound of the movie are undeniably good, making it perfect to watch in the cinema.
