Kua Guo Ya Lu Jiang, a TV series named after the milestone moment in modern history, aired on China Central Television's flagship channel CCTV-1 on Sunday night, bringing viewers back to revisit the turbulent period. With Wang Yan serving as the chief producer, the TV series is led by veteran actors Tang Guoqiang and Ding Yongdai, as well as a number of established performers, including Sun Weimin, Wang Zhifei, Liu Zhibing and Yao Gang. As the first of its kind, the epic drama takes a panoramic look of the war, which took place between 1950 and 1953, depicting many real-life figures among Chinese leaders, like Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai and Deng Xiaoping, to fearless war heroes, such as Huang Jiguang, Qiu Shaoyun and Yang Gensi. Shooting took more than 100 days, with the cast and crew traveling to five cities and provinces, including Beijing, Tianjin and Northeast China's Heilongjiang province, recruiting nearly 400 actors and more than 40,000 extras.
