Based on the true story of failed Nationalist attempt

The literal translation of the title is: Bosimao in Action.

When the Nationalists were driven out of mainland, the island near Chinese coast were the next flash points.  Nationalist agents were still very active since communists had just taken over, and in real life, the target was the mayor of Shanghai as the movie depicted, who happened to be the People's Liberation Army Field Marshal Chen, Yi, who also happened to be the military commander of eastern China, the Commander-in-Chief of Eastern China military district.

Mandarin-language cinema across Mainland China, Taiwan, and Singapore explores historical reflection, cultural identity, and personal sacrifice, often expressed through poetic visuals and sweeping narratives. In Mainland China, this takes the form of allegory and large-scale epics that reflect on national history. Taiwan emphasizes intimate modernist realism, generational change, and the search for identity. Singapore contributes stories of migration, multiculturalism, and the negotiation of tradition in a globalized city.

The thriller genre features suspense, tension, and excitement. These stories are known for keeping audiences on the edge of their seats and delivering intense emotional experiences by revolving around high-stakes situations, dangerous conflicts, and the constant anticipation of unexpected events.

Operation Bosimao is put into effect by Chinese Nationalists to attempt to assassinate the mayor of Shanghai and slow Communist military action against a nearby island.
