Generals of the Yang Family


Back in the Song Dynasty, the Yangs were a legendary four-generations family of male and female war heroes. Even though I've seen tons of movies and series about them, each time there is a new one, I can't help balling my eyes out. It's like knowing the outcome, but never being able to accept how and why it happened in such a cruel way. I enjoyed watching and sobbing through Saving General Yang (HK movie, 2013), it's just that in 90 minutes they barely scratched the surface. The Yangs went on to rebuild an army just as strong led by widows and orphans. It's one of the most inspiring stories I've ever heard.
