"Red Silk" opens a new page in the history of cooperation between Russia and China in the field of cinema. This is an important step in the implementation of a systematic approach that will help mutually promote the best national films and jointly create films that demonstrate the common values of the two peoples," she said.

The Taipingyang cinema chain reports on its website that the film demonstrates "the hardening of faith and spirit in the harsh Siberian frosts." And ordinary viewers say that they have heard about the project and are going to go to the cinema to see it.

"Yes, I saw it on the news. This is a film that China shot together with Russia. They say it's exciting! And I would also like to see the Russian actors in it," a Chinese resident told Izvestia.
