At that time, the male soldiers had just fought. They fought back and were almost all injured. At that time, only female soldiers remained. In that situation, no one dared to stand up to defuse the bomb lying deep in the river, waiting for the girls’ spirit of volunteering. At this time, Hoang Phuong’s shoulder was the eldest sister who stood up to volunteer, let the car run through the bomb and the bomb exploded. That moment was haunting.”.

After performing that scene, I couldn’t hold back my tears, couldn’t get rid of my shoulder, I was still haunted by sleep at night. The film was filmed entirely outside, it took the crew half a day to prepare the bomb scenes.”
