@电影武圣关公官方微博：The historical animated film "武圣关公", which was originally scheduled to be released nationwide on July 26, cannot be released as scheduled due to production progress. After consultation among all the film producers, it has been decided to withdraw the film and postpone its release. The specific date will be notified separately. Thank you for your long-term attention and support.

"Martial Saint Guan Gong" was directed by the Chinese comic master Cai Zhizhong and took five years to produce. As a comic master with many works and achievements, Cai Zhizhong has multiple identities such as the Golden Horse Award for Best Animation Director, Eastern philosopher, Buddhist scholar, mathematician, physicist, and Asian Bridge Champion. His career is also full of legends.

This film is also one of the major works launched by Cai Zhizhong since he was invited to settle in the Xixi Master Building in Hangzhou in 2009 and devoted himself to creation for 10 years. The Three Kingdoms and Guan Gong written by Cai Zhizhong are full of the charm and beauty of oriental tradition with just a few strokes.

The story of "Martial Saint Guan Gong" tells that during the Song Dynasty, Chi You transformed into a ferocious dragon and committed evil. Zhang Tianshi set up an altar and performed a ritual to invite Guan Gong to protect the people. Guan Gong appeared in the world for the sake of the people of the world and fought a desperate battle with the evil dragon in heaven and on earth. This led to Guan Yu's glorious life.
