2011 marks the 100th anniversary of the Xinhai Revolution, a war that ultimately led to the downfall of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the new China. One of the most important events that sparked the revolution was the Huanghuagang Uprising (a.k.a. Yellow Flower Mound Revolt), during which 72 heroic patriots lost their lives for their country. Director Derek Chiu, who dramatized Sun Yat Sen’s life in Road to Dawn, now brings the story of these patriots to life with 72 Martyrs. Instead of portraying the actual Huanghuagang Uprising, Martyrs is all about the obstacles and the dangers the men faced while laying the foundations for this key battle. What Chiu’s film lacks in action and spectacle is compensated in dramatic tension, as Chiu offers a visually stylish take on the complex web of conflicts comprised of the rebels, the Qing court soldiers, and even powerful businessmen. 72 Martyrs stars some of Hong Kong’s finest character actors, including Tse Kwan Ho (The Miracle Box), Eric Tsang (Bodyguards and Assassins), Liu Kai Chi (The Stool Pigeon), as well as Irene Wan (Exodus), Elanne Kong (Rebellion), Zhao Bing Rui and Alan Tam in a special appearance.

Guangzhou, 1910. Tensions are rising, as the Qing government continues to crack down on revolutionaries. However, journalist Pang Da Wei (Tse Kwan Ho) and artist Gao Jian Fu (Liu Kau Chi) continue to fight the good fight as the leaders of the rebellion. Their latest plan is to eliminate the Qing magistrate Li Zhun (Eric Tsang). During the preparations, they are joined by Luo Zhong Huo (Zhao Bing Rui), who has been sent to Guangzhou by Sun Yat Sen to assist the efforts. During the fundraising efforts, Luo meets Mei Xi (Irene Wan), the mistress of a powerful local business man whose daughter Wei Ru (Elanne Kong) is secretly one of the revolutionaries. As the actual date of the uprising approaches, more secret loyalties will be revealed, and more lives are put in danger. Which of these revolutionaries will sacrifice their lives, and which of them will live on to continue the nation’s fight for freedom?.
