A remake of a 1972 Russian film has been tickling a generation's collective memory since hitting China's big screens on Tuesday to celebrate the 70th anniversary of victory in World War II.
The Dawns Here are Quiet tells the story of a senior sergeant of Soviet Red Army and five female anti-aircraft gunners, who courageously fight invading German troops in 1942.
The movie, nominated for the Oscar in the Best Foreign Language Film category, is based on an eponymous 1960s novella.
