Based on the true story that really happened in real life

The literal translation of the title of this movie is: Misty City.

The story is loosely based on the true story that really happened in real life, and the city was actually Chongqing in Si-Chuan Province, western part of China.  One thing that this movie was not emphasized enough was the contributions of the ex-nationalists who switched their side by defecting to communists, it was their intelligence, and their expertise, such as police work (because communist troops are peasantry army without any urban law enforcement experience) that helped to prevent the disaster.  Sadly, in real life, many of them perished in the political movements such as the Cultural Revolution.

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.
