Andrea Bocelli, Na Ying - Remembering - 苏州河

Theme from the Chinese blockbuster war movie Remembering. I think the title is 蘇州河 Suzhou River a river in Shanghai, the scene of the fighting. Just about everyone recognizes the Danny Boy melody.

Surprisingly, the movie portrays heroic Nationalist soldiers in the Chinese 1937 last stand in Shanghai. There are wikipedia and other descriptions of the film available online.
