“The Lychee Road” Tops Weekend Box Office
In just three days, The Lychee Road surpassed the animated blockbuster The Legend of Hei 2 to become China’s new box-office champion. By Sunday, the film had grossed (票房达) 200 million yuan ($27.8 million), with total earnings expected to exceed 660 million yuan, according to Maoyan Pro.
Adapted from Ma Boyong’s best-selling novel, the film tells the story of Li Shande, a low-ranking official tasked with transporting fresh lychees over 2,600 kilometers in just five days as a birthday gift for the emperor’s favorite concubine (妃)—a mission considered nearly impossible.
Director Dong Chengpeng, known by his stage name Dapeng, revealed that he persuaded actress Yang Mi to join the project early. He admitted shaping her character based on her real-life confidence, making the role a perfect fit. Notably, novelist Ma Boyong made his acting debut (首秀), appearing briefly as an unnamed official alongside Hong Kong star Andy Lau, who plays the prime minister. Set in the Tang Dynasty (618–907), the film was released last Friday and has since captivated audiences nationwide.

Film on Nanjing Massacre ignites strong emotions across China
A harrowing new Chinese film about the Nanjing Massacre has stirred (激起) strong emotions across the country, sparking widespread reflection on a traumatic (痛苦难忘的) chapter in China's history.
Dead To Rights centers on a group of Chinese civilians (百姓) who take refuge in a photography studio during the Japanese aggressors' brutal occupation of Nanjing. In a desperate attempt to stay alive, they are forced to assist a Japanese military photographer in developing film — only to discover that the negatives (底片) contain damning evidence of atrocities committed by Japanese forces. They secretly keep the negatives and risk their lives to deliver them to the outside world, hoping the truth will be revealed.
Recognized for its emotional weight, the film has resonated deeply with audiences, earning an 8.6/10 rating on Douban. Many viewers note it avoids sensationalism, letting chilling images speak for themselves. By Sunday, its third release day, it had grossed over 400 million yuan, drawing 10 million viewers. Maoyan projects it will earn over 3.2 billion yuan, a huge upward revision. Largely thanks to it, China’s daily box office on Sunday topped 300 million yuan, the first time in 154 days.

Chinese ink-wash animation Nobody captures audience with universal themes
Chinese ink-wash animation Nobody has surprised everyone at the box office this summer. Nine days after its release, it has earned 559 million yuan. On Douban, a popular Chinese review platform, it holds an 8.6/10 rating, even higher than the hit Ne Zha 2 (8.5/10).
What makes Nobody so loved? It draws on Chinese mythology (神话) but tells a story everyone can connect with—one of survival, dignity, courage, and life.
The film follows a little pig monster. He dreams of a stable (稳定的) job in the Cave of Kings’ strict hierarchy. But after accidentally upsetting the Monster King, he is “fired”. This leads him to leave Langlang Mountain, joined by three other nameless little demons. Together, they form a small group and set off on their own “pilgrimage (朝圣),” inspired by Tang Sanzang and his disciples from Journey to the West. Others laugh at them, saying only those with special backgrounds (like the Monkey King) can go on such a journey. But the four little demons keep going. They fight enemies a hundred times stronger, wanting to live life their own way.
Many viewers see themselves in these “nobodies.” The film shows that starting the journey matters more than reaching the end. Anyone brave enough to step out of their own “Langlang Mountain” is already on the path to finding their own truth.
Visually, Nobody is a beautiful mix of Chinese ink-wash painting and modern animation. It includes hints of traditional culture, like old Shanxi architecture and murals similar to those in Dunhuang’s Mogao Caves.
Nobody’s success proves that when traditional Chinese culture meets modern expression, great animations are born. As a writer once said, true heroism is seeing the world as it is—and loving it. May this little pig monster inspire you too.

Film review: Nobody
Nobody, a wonderful Chinese ink-wash animation, has deeply impressed me with its warm story and beautiful visuals. By Sunday, it had grossed 559 million yuan and resonated deeply with audiences, earning 8.6/10 on Douban.
The film blends traditional ink-wash painting with modern animation, telling a touching story of four little demons’ pilgrimage. It draws on Chinese mythology but conveys universal themes like courage and self-discovery.
What inspires me most is its message: starting the journey matters more than reaching the end. It teaches us that even “nobodies” can shine by bravely following their hearts.(94词)
