War over army epic

The summer blockbuster The Founding of an Army has sparked heated discussion on Chinese social media. Xu Fan reports.

The much-anticipated The Founding of an Army has become a hot topic on Chinese social media, also because of opinions expressed by a revolutionary's grandson.

Ye Daying - the grandson of Ye Ting, the late Communist general - recently made a series of posts to protest the movie on Sina Weibo, the Chinese equivalent of Twitter.
