Chinese films aired on Kazakh TV in honor of 71st anniversary of PRC's founding

Several Chinese films are being aired on Kazakhstan's Astana TV station through October in honor of the 71st anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China (PRC), Astana TV's program director Yerbol Begimbetov has said.

"The Composer," a China-Kazakhstan co-produced film featuring the life story of late Chinese composer Xian Xinghai, was screened on Oct. 3.

The film highlights the friendship between Xian and Kazakh composer Bakhitzhan Baykadamov, who took care of Xian when he was stranded in Alma Ata after the Soviet Union was invaded by Nazi Germany in 1941.

Kazakh actress Aruzhan Jazilbekova, the film's heroine, congratulated the Chinese people on the 71st anniversary of the founding of the PRC last week on her Instagram account.

She wished every Chinese person good health and new successes in building a modern and prosperous motherland.

Begimbetov added that another three Chinese films, namely, "Go LALA Go!", "I Do" and "Driverless," which have been dubbed in the Kazakh language, will be screened this month.
