Very nice factual film - even if somewhat exaggerated - about Qi Jiguang - who was a cool Chinese military general and writer of the Ming dynasty.
Qi Jiguang is best known for leading the defense on the coastal regions against wokou pirate activities in the 16th century (as well as for the reinforcement of the Great Wall of China).
Qi is also known for writing the military manuals Jixiao Xinshu and Lianbing Shiji "Record of Military Training", which he based on his experience as a martial educator and defensive planner in the Ming military forces. Needless to say, he is regarded as a hero in China - as depicted in this fine film :)
Cool portrayal also by Yasuaki Kurata, as Japanese general Kumasawa - who is depicted as a cunning and sly fox, with a quirky sense of humour - unlike the Chinese generals, who are all depicted as super serious :)
Being a believer in reincarnation, I'm pretty sure that I was General Qi Jiguang in a past life. (as well as a bunch of other generals in past lives :) But now I have liberated myself from this negative karmic bondage - having become a true and omnipotent NGO Peace Activist :)
So I recommend the same to all other generals in the world - in particular Russian generals - that they encourage Vladimir Putin to make Peace with Ukraine - so that Peace and Prosperity can be restored in the International Community :)
PS: In view that former PM Shinzo Abe recently died from an assassination attempt - who was one of the greatest Peace activists in the world - our thoughts, our prayers are with him, with his family, with the people of Japan. May he rest in Peace.
Furthermore, I also would like to emphasize, that I would have been quite willing to take the bullet for him - if that would have saved his life :)
