The film depicts an obscure episode in Sun Yat-sen\u2019s revolutionary life, when he sought refuge in Penang from July to December 1910. He relocated the Southeast Asian headquarters of his political party, the Tongmenghui, to Penang and convened the Penang Conference to stage the Second Guangzhou Uprising. The film is also called Before The Sunrise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Releases<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The film premiere at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing on 27 June 2007 was attended by both Chinese and Malaysian government leaders and media.

In Tokyo alone, it screened for almost two months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Production<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Road to Dawn was billed as a Shenzen Media Group, Shenzen Film Studio, Pearl River Film Company presentation of a Shenzen Assn. for Intl. Cultural Exchanges, Shenzen Media Group production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Road To Dawn main investor company is Malaysian\u2019s Ribuan Hijau Sdn. Bhd., which owned 4 Malaysian Chinese press companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Road To Dawn was the first China-produced movie filmed entirely in Malaysia. It was filmed entirely on location in Penang in August and September 2006. Other international movies have used Penang a substitute location \u2014 Indochine (1992),Paradise Road (1997), Anna and The King (1999), The Touch (2002), and Lust, Caution (2007). However, Road To Dawn is the first international movie set in Penang.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Road To Dawn fully exploits the multicultural setting of Penang, showing cultural diversity in ethnic communities, costumes, houses of worship and architectural heritage. Angelica Lee plays a young woman from the Straits Chinese (also called Baba Nyonya or peranakan) minority community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Road To Dawn, Winston Chao plays Sun Yat-sen for the second time \u2013 which revolves around a young Sun Yat-sen in Penang. The first was in the 1997 movie, The Soong Sisters in which he played the older Sun Yat-sen from the time of the Xinhai Revolution up to his death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>History and dramatic license<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sun Yat-sen lived in Penang between July and December 1910. He was joined by his first wife, his second wife, his two daughters and his brother Sun Mei. For the sake of a romantic storyline, the movie only shows Sun and his second wife Chen Cuifen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The fictional character of Xu Dang Rong is loosely based on the real life character of Chen Bijun, a young woman revolutionary who became the wife of Wang Jingwei, a close associate of Sun Yat-sen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The fictional character of Luo Zhaoling is loosely based on Luo Zhonghuo, a Penang-trained teacher and poet (though he was never a Qing agent), who became one of the 72 martyrs of the Second Guangzhou Uprising.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>Awards &amp; Reviews<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Awards &amp; nominations<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>10th Shanghai International Film Festival Media Awards<br>Most Popular Actor Awards Winston Chao<br>Most Promising New Comer Awards (Wu Yue)<br>12th Huabiao Awards<br>Most Outstanding Newcomer for Scriptwriting (Maezi)<br>2007 Chinese American Film Festival<br>Golden Angel Award<br>2007 Guangzhou University Students Film Festival<br>Best Actor Award Winston Chao<br>2009 China Centre Publicity Board Awards for \u201c5 in 1 Project Outstanding Civilized Movie\u201d category \u201c\u201d\u4e94\u4e2a\u4e00\u5de5\u7a0b\u201c\u7cbe\u795e\u6587\u660e\u5956\u4f18\u79c0\u7535\u5f71\u201d Excellent Quality Movie<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The film was nominated for Huabiao Awards Most Outstanding Movie and Best Actress (Wu Yue), China Golden Rooster Best Music (Pan Guoxing, Su Junjie), Golden Horse Best Image Design (Doris Song).

It is also the closing ceremony movie for Singapore International Film Festival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Reviews<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Road To Dawn depicts romance and the Chinese revolutionary movement in early 20th century Penang. The movie portrays Dr. Sun as a political refugee in desperate circumstances, as a committed doctor who cares for the society he lives in, as a leader of men and as a loving husband to his second wife, Chen Cuifen. Based on the true story of Dr. Sun Yat-sen as a revolutionary in Penang, Malaysia in the year 1910, the storyline refers to historical events while incorporating fictional elements and characters. Here are some movie reviews:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By Richard Kuipers, posted Nov. 7, 2007:<br><a href=\"http:\/\/www.variety.com\/review\/VE1117935358?refcatid=31\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Before the Sunrise<\/a> \u201cCentering on a period skipped over by most texts and films about Chinese nation-making hero Sun Yat-sen, \u201cBefore the Sunrise\u201d (aka \u201cRoad to Dawn\u201d) turns the spotlight on the medico-turned-revolutionary\u2019s relationship with longtime assistant and \u201csecond wife\u201d Chen Cuifen. Set during Sun\u2019s 1910 exile in Penang, Malaysia, well-appointed mix of romance and politics is a respectful and respectable effort that has a rough shot at specialist export outside Asia.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By Sharon Wong, posted Aug. 14, 2007:<br><a href=\"http:\/\/www.chinahistoryforum.com\/index.php?showtopic=18968\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Penang dawns in Sun\u2019s biopic<\/a> \u201dRoad To Dawn brings the life of Dr Sun Yat-sen to the big screen.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By Kozo, LoveHKfilm.com:<br><a href=\"http:\/\/lovehkfilm.com\/reviews_2\/road_to_dawn.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">LoveHKilm.com review<\/a> of DVD \u201cSmaller story about the Father of China, Sun Yat-Sen.
