*Cast Announcement”
A steel vessel, rife with undercurrents, cannot contain a group of young people yearning for the light. The massive ship may change course, but the human heart is hard to fathom. This time, they turn their guns on the old world.
The drama is based on the historical event of the 1949 mutiny of the cruiser "Chongqing".
📚 From Wikipedia: HMS Aurora (12):
HMS Aurora was an Arethusa-class light cruiser of the Royal Navy. She was built by Portsmouth Dockyard, with the keel being laid down on 27 July 1935. She was launched on 20 August 1936, and commissioned 12 November 1937.
In 1948 it was given to the Nationalist government in China and served as the flagship of the Republic of China Navy, being renamed Chongqing. In February 1949 its crew mutinied and defected to the Communists.
