What does it take to portray everyday heroism? Actor Zhu Yilong faced this challenge head-on while playing A'bi in the new film Dongji Rescue, a gripping drama based on real-life events along China’s coast. 🌊
In an exclusive interview, Zhu revealed how his character—a fisherman with no military training—embodies the quiet bravery of ordinary people. "These weren’t superheroes," he explained. "They were regular folks who chose humanity over fear when lives were at stake." The story follows a group of fishermen who risk everything to save strangers during a maritime disaster, blending heart-pounding action with emotional depth.
Zhu described the role as a "crash course in human nature," emphasizing how the film highlights resilience and kindness ingrained in Chinese culture. 💪❤️ While preparing, he studied accounts of the real rescuers: "Their lack of formal training made their courage even more extraordinary."
With its mix of survival thrills and heartfelt storytelling, Dongji Rescue is poised to become a cultural touchstone—a reminder that heroism often wears no uniform. 🛥️🎥
