Oh how I love this movie because it's based on history about saving General Yueh Fei (one of the persons in history that I respect and admire), and the casts are all to my liking. Their (hero and heroine) love was so strong and bonding that they united together to fight for a common cause. Ching Miao played one of the villains in this movie.
