A great many cultural projects have been basically completed to commemorate the anti-fascist victory of World War II and the 70th anniversary of the victory in the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression (1937-45), China.org.cn has learned.

The war epic "The Great Campaign with One Hundred Regiments," directed by Ning Haiqiang and Zhang Yuzhong, will debut in Chinese theaters on Aug. 28, with a cast led by Tang Guoqiang, Wang Wufu, and Wu Yue and the script written by Dong Zhe, who previously wrote the Chinese revolutionary blockbusters "The Founding of A Republic" and "The Founding of a Party."

The film recreates the largest and longest battle launched by the Eighth Route Army in north China when the anti-Japanese war was stalemated in August 1940. Director Ning Haiqiang said he chose the three biggest actions during the battle to compile the film.

"Cairo Declaration" is set for Sept. 3 release. The film will recount the events of the Cairo Conference in Cairo, Egypt, on Nov. 27, 1943 where President Franklin Roosevelt of the United States, Prime Minister Winston Churchill of the United Kingdom, and Chiang Kai-shek of the then Republic of China met to discuss war plans.

The directors, Wen Deguang and Hu Minggang, are expecting it to be a blockbuster. It stars Tang Guoqiang, Hu Jun, Joan Chen and Carina Lau.
