英文原文
Patriotism with Popcorn: Chinese Film
① "Wolf Warrior 2" follows a Chinese action hero in an unnamed African country, saving natives from 明星化妆前后对比照war-mongering Westerners with explosions and punch-ups galore.
② Nicknamed the "Chinese Rambo", the film has just become the highest-grossing production in Chinese history, earning over $600m since its release last month.
③ Its surprise success may be linked to growing nationalist fervour.
④ Last month China marked the 90th anniversary of the People's Liberation Army and opened its first overseas military base, in Djibouti.
⑤ Also helpful is China's annual summertime ban on foreign movies, which boosts domestic ones.
⑥ But above all the topical themes and slick, Hollywood feel of "Wolf Warrior 2" seem to have helped it eclipse the previous record-holder, "The Founding of an Army"—a state-funded historical drama whose jingoism-on-film formula comes across as stuffy and tedious by comparison.
⑦ "Wolf Warrior 2", by contrast, manages to be glossily entertaining, even as it maintains its nationalist narrative.

"Patriotism is love of country. But you
can't love your country without loving
your countrymen and countrywomen.
We don't always have to agree, but
we must empower each other, we
must find the common ground, we
must build bridges across our
differences to pursue the
common good."
Cory Booker, an American Politician
