Escape from Huang Shi 黄石的孩子

I went to watch a movie with parents just now. We decided to watch Escape from Huang Shi 黄石的孩子. Do you guys know the story behind this movie? Let me tell you all about it.

It is a very touching and bravery story, based on a true story! The movie is mainly in English language and mixed with Mandarin.

Based on real events, The Children of Huang Shi is a sweeping but intimate story set against war-torn China in the 1930’s. A young British journalist, George Hogg witnessed the tragedy at China during the war between China and Japan. He tried to bring 60 orphans to a place where no war has been gone through, together with 2 other adults. Together they rescue 60 orphaned children, leading them on an extraordinary journey across hundreds of miles of treacherous terrain, through snow-covered mountains and an unforgiving desert. Along the way they discover the true meaning of love, responsibility and courage.
