Though the hit C-drama Go Go Squid! starring popular Chinese actress Yang Zi has concluded this Summer, we can soon see her again in a Shaw theatre near us from Aug 29 in the movie The Bravest (烈火英雄). ?

Starring alongside Huang Xiaoming, one of the most established actors in China, we will see the two take on a deadly mission to protect their city and citizens at all cost, even if it means sacrificing their lives.

The movie is adapted from a non-fiction novel titled The Deepest Waters Are Our Tears (最深的水是泪水) by Chinese author Bao'er Ji Yuan Ye (鲍尔吉·原野). It tells the story of a group of brave firemen who will do everything in their power to stop a deadly raging fire from spreading.

After an oil pipeline in Harbin Harbour exploded, the oil flowing through a gigantic tank catches fire, igniting the tank and triggering a series of unrelenting explosions that threaten over eight million lives in the city.

A group of emergency firemen were activated, embarking on the deadly mission knowing there is a possibility they might never return home.

Here are some stills and posters from the movie that will give you goosebumps!

"We'll fight on the frontline for your safety."

Prior to the release of the movie (in China), Yang Zi shed some light on her role as a firewoman in The Bravest on Chinese social networking platform Weibo. She said:

"No one is born to be a hero. The ones who became one merely made sacrifices. To all the firemen out there, you have my greatest respect!"

"After taking up the role of a firewoman, I finally understood what it means to take on a heavy responsibility and most importantly, what it means to give my life up without hesitation. Once again, I'd like to express my respect to all firemen out there!"

To support his Go Go Squid! co-star, Chinese actor Li Xian also shared the movie trailer on Weibo with the following caption:

"The fire was relentless but the heroes know no fear! Deep respect to all our firefighters, actor and my beloved Tong Nian @Yang Zi"

The Bravest will soon be up in Shaw theatre near you from Aug 29. If you are into action-packed movies with themes of strong comradeship, patriotism and is ready to be moved by these firefighters, mark your calendars!
