The name of the Chinese movie is "The Eight Hundred" and the closing song is "Remembering."

Danny Boy is one of my favorite songs and I was delighted to see Na and Bocelli record this this duet.

This movie depicts Chinese soldiers defense of Shanghai against the invading Japanese Army during the Battle of Shanghai in 1937.

Danny Boy is an Irish folk song and the tune, along with Chinese lyrics was used to create a call for peace across time and space.
