Yu Dong, the founder of China's leading studio, the Bona Film Group, says he couldn't sleep the night he saw a TV news report about 13 Chinese sailors who were shot and killed on the Mekong River in 2011.
The massacre, which occurred in the Golden Triangle area of the river on Oct 5 that year, saw 13 Chinese crew members of two cargo ships brutally killed by a Myanmar drug-trafficking ring.
Most of the bodies were found blindfolded and handcuffed.
