Saving General Yang is a Chinese historical action film that was directed by Ronny Yu and released in 2013. The movie tells the story of a heroic battle fought by General Yang Ye and his seven sons during the Song Dynasty. The film features an ensemble cast of actors, including Adam Cheng, Ekin Cheng, Wu Chun, and Vic Chou.
At the beginning of the film, it is revealed that General Yang Ye's reputation in the court is tarnished due to a feud with Pan Renmei, a powerful official who holds a grudge against Yang for the accidental death of his son. When the rival kingdom of Khitan invades Song, the emperor sends Yang Ye to lead the defense. However, Yang is betrayed by Pan's troops and left to defend against the enemy alone.
Meanwhile, Yang's seven sons (played by Ekin Cheng, Wu Chun, Vic Chou, Li Chen, Raymond Lam, Yu Bo, and Fu Xinbo) learn of their father's predicament and decide to set out to rescue him. The journey is perilous, as they face numerous obstacles and enemy attacks along the way. However, the brothers remain steadfast in their resolve to save their father, even though they know that many of them may not survive.
The film's climactic battle scene takes place at the Yellow River, where Yang Ye and his sons face off against the Khitan army led by Yeli Yuan. The battle is intense and brutal, with both sides suffering heavy casualties. In the end, Yang Ye and his sons emerge victorious, but at great cost. The film ends with the surviving brothers returning to the capital, where they are hailed as heroes for their bravery and sacrifice.
Saving General Yang is a thrilling and emotionally charged action movie that showcases the bond between a father and his sons. It is also a powerful tribute to the heroic deeds of the Yang family, who are revered as national heroes in Chinese folklore.
