Chinese mainland actress Wu Yue and Taiwan actor Winston Chao attended the premiere of Road to Dawn in Beijing on June 28, 2007 at the Great Hall of the People.

A film telling revolutionary Sun Yet-sen's love story, entitled Road to Dawn, premiered in Beijing on Thursday at the Great Hall of the People.

The 16-million yuan project was shot in Penang, an island city with splendid scenery located in north-west Malaysia. The film portrays Sun Yet-sen in 1910, when he took refuge in Penang after his ninth armed uprising against the Qing government of Guangzhou failed.

The film stars Taiwan actor Winston Chao in the leading role as a 44-year-old Sun Yet-sen, with Chinese mainland actress Wu Yue as his second wife Chen Cuifen, and Malaysian actress Angelica Lee as the daughter of a local business tycoon.

Winston Chao just won a Most Popular Actor Award at the Shanghai International Film Festival, held from June 16 to 24, for his vivid performance in the film. This has been the third time for the 47-year-old actor to play the role of Sun Yet-sen.

The film is slated for general release across China on June 29.
