On April 24 when China marked its 8th Space Day, more than 100 retired aerospace servicemen and retired cadres from Donggaodi Sub-district in Fengtai District, Beijing gathered at Poly International Cinema (Wanyuan) to pay tribute to space heroes in a unique way—by watching the patriotic movie Home Coming.
With the will of the state as a spiritual connection and set in international scenes, the film Home Coming, based on the evacuation of Chinese nationals in the past 10 years, brings a national action to life in a passionate manner, showing how mortal heroes that moves the audience are shaped. During the viewing, the audience was fully immersed in the 137-minute action-packed film and moved to tears several times due to the spirit of struggle of Chinese children.

After the screening, the audiences said that Chinese people have complete faith in the motherland, that the strong motherland allows us to cope with whatever environment we are in, and that the arms of our country are always opened to provide a shelter for Chinese children. The public welfare-oriented screening activities brought amazing cultural and audio-visual experience to the “veterans in the capital”, allowing retirees and veterans to share the fruits of cultural development by watching films.
