宋景詩

Zheng Jun-Li, Sun Yu

Wei Cui, Jin Tao

В середине XIX века, в разгар Опиумной войны, китайский народ восстал против феодального строя и маньчжурской династии, капитулировавшей перед иностранными интервентами. … Понурив головы, бредут закованные в кандалы крестьяне, те, кто отказался давать деньги для расправы с восставшими братьями. Неожиданно им преграждают дорогу. Это Сун Цзин-ши со своим отрядом пришёл на выручку. Освобождённые крестьяне присоединились к Сун Цзин-ши. Так образовалось ядро армии «Чёрного знамени». «Их вёл Сун Цзин-ши» — первый исторический фильм, созданный в социалистическом Китае 1950-х годов. Сценарий его основан на достоверном материале, собранном в деревнях провинции Шаньдун. В народе до сих пор живут легенды о жестокости Сэн Гэлиньцина и храбрости Сун Цзин-ши, которого называют «китайским Спартаком».
