2021-05-06 13:06:11 GMT2021-05-06 21:06:11(Beijing Time) Xinhua English by Tamara Treichel and Li Jun BEIJING, May 6 (Xinhua) The scene where wealthy socialite Rose clings to a floating door after her beloved Jack dies in the freezing waters of the Atlantic is one of the most memorable scenes in the 1997 blockbuster Titanic. But what was previously unknown is that this scene was inspired by the true-life story of one of the six Chinese who survived the 1912 disaster. It is this tidbit and other surprises that characterize the documentary The Six, a movie about the six Chinese men who survived the sinking of the purportedly unsinkable ocean liner. The documentary, which is currently playing in movie theaters around China, was the brainchild of an American in Beijing called Steven Schwankert, who is the chief researcher and co-creator of the documentary. He has also authored a book about that subject with the same name.
