About this release
The Belief, released in mainland Chinese markets under the title 澎湖海战 (Battle of Penghu), is scheduled for theatrical release on July 25, 2026. The film is set in the twenty-second year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign, 1683 A.D., and dramatizes the Qing dynasty's military campaign to bring Taiwan under imperial control. The narrative centers on Shi Lang, governor of the Fujian Naval Division, who was dispatched by the Kangxi Emperor to suppress the Zheng regime's bid for independence in Taiwan. An imperial advance team absorbs heavy casualties as a tactical feint, drawing Zheng's naval forces into a trap. Shi Lang then leads a large fleet in a surprise assault on Penghu, destroying the main Zheng naval force and completing the unification of Taiwan. The film draws on a documented episode in late seventeenth-century Chinese history that marked the end of Ming loyalist resistance and the consolidation of Qing rule over the island.
