《战狼2》为何燃爆今夏?
导读：《战狼2》无疑是今夏讨论度最高的电影，刷新了一个又一个票房纪录。而这部电影能够如此火爆的原因也很简单：一颗赤诚的爱国之心。
It’s rare that the protagonist in a
Chinese movie wins the audience’s hearts with an emotionally uplifting message,
rather than by showing off his or her good looks. But Wolf Warrior II is putting
China in the global spotlight. It’s also the first film to taste success both in
terms of box office earnings and promoting Chinese values.
国产影片的主角不是通过展现颜值，而是因为传递了一种正能量而获得观众的喜爱，这点相当少见。但《战狼2》却令全球的焦点都汇聚到了中国身上。它同时也是首部在票房收入以及弘扬中国价值观方面都获得双赢的电影。
Kung fu artist Wu Jing both starred
in and directed the action movie. Since its release on July 27, it’s earned an
unimaginable 4.5 billion yuan, setting a record for domestic movies at the box
office.
功夫巨星吴京自导自演了这部动作电影。自7月27日上映以来，该片已经收获了令人难以想象的45亿人民币的票房，创下了国产电影的票房纪录。
The film focuses on a rescue
operation in Africa, led by former special forces soldier Leng Feng – played by
Wu. Leng helps Chinese workers and local Africans flee a war-torn and
plague-ravaged country.
电影讲述了一场由前特种兵冷锋(吴京饰)所领导的非洲救援行动。(在行动中)，冷锋帮助中国员工以及非洲当地居民逃离一个饱受战火和瘟疫折磨的国家。
Wolf Warrior II links art to reality,
and reminds people of the massive evacuation of Chinese people from Libya when
civil war broke out there in 2011, and from Yemen in 2015, as well as the
challenges the Ebola virus created in West Africa from 2013 to
2016.
《战狼2》将艺术与现实紧密联系，让人们想起了2011年利比亚内战爆发时中方的大规模撤侨行动，2015年的也门撤侨行动，以及2013-2016年埃博拉病毒肆虐西非时的撤侨行动。
The film describes how the Chinese
government aims to protect overseas Chinese citizens. Just as the message at the
end of the film reads: “Citizens of the People’s Republic of China. When you
encounter danger in a foreign land, do not give up! Please remember, at your
back stands a strong motherland.”
影片描绘了中国政府如何努力保护身处海外的中国公民。正如影片结尾的一段话所说的那样：“中华人民共和国公民：当你在海外遭遇危险，不要放弃!请记住，在你身后，有一个强大的祖国!”
Thanks to China’s increasing
participation in global affairs, now could be considered the right moment to
introduce a modern Chinese hero.
正因中国日益积极地参与国际事务，现在或许是向世人介绍一位现代中国英雄的大好时机。
“Holding up a banner of peace,
friendship and responsibility, Wolf Warrior II should be seen as a brave effort
to promote Chinese values around the world,” columnist Zhu Ping wrote in China
Daily.
“高举着和平、友谊和责任感的旗帜，《战狼2》应当被视作一股鼓起勇气在全球弘扬中国价值观的力量，”专栏作家朱萍在《中国日报》上写道。
“It’s time Chinese filmmakers
produced films that tell good stories and carry the right spirit. Let us assume
Wolf Warrior II has started that trend.”
“中国制片人是时候制作出一些讲好故事、弘扬正确价值观的电影了。我们不妨假设《战狼2》开始了这一趋势。”
