Actor Wang Baoqiang as Dong Cunrui [Photo: yule.sohu.com]Actor Wang Baoqiang is paying his own tribute to the forthcoming 60th Chinese National Day.
The "Soldiers Sortie" star will play the leading character of Dong Cunrui in a TV series entitled "Weile Xin Zhongguo Qianjin" ("March on to the New China"), which began shooting on Wednesday.
Dong Cunrui (1929-48), is still remembered today as a hero who sacrificed his young life in a battlefield in order to open a way for his fellow soldiers.
Wang Baoqiang is no stranger to army roles. The 24-year-old has become a national phenomenon for his role as a modern-day PLA soldier in the TV drama "Soldiers Sortie". He also starred in Feng Xiaogang's epic war film "The Assembly".
The Dong Cunrui drama is the latest tribute production for the 60th founding anniversary of the People's Republic of China, which will be officially celebrated on October 1 this year.
Other projects marking the anniversary include "Lei Feng", a TV biopic of role-model soldier Lei Feng (1940-62) played by former Olympic-winning diver Tian Liang, and the all-star blockbuster "Jian Guo Da Ye" ("The Great Cause of China's Foundation"), which has rallied a cluster of top actors from the mainland and Hong Kong.
