AMSTERDAM Authentic Brad Boxberger Jersey , July 17 (Xinhua) -- A Dutch national monument commemorating victims who died three years ago in the downing of Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 is set for a formal opening here on Monday.


The National Monument MH17 is situated in the park of Vijfhuizen near Amsterdam's Schiphol airport, from where flight MH17 took off en route to Kuala Lumpur on July 17, 2014.


A total of 298 trees have been planted in the shape of a green ribbon, with each of the trees bearing names of the victims who died on board the flight.


Families of the victims will gather on Monday to unveil the memorial and remember their loved ones, according to media reports.


Dutch King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima will join government and international officials at a solemn ceremony to dedicate the memorial, said the AFP.


The names of all the 298 passengers and crew killed in the disaster will be read out by their families Authentic Steven Souza Jersey , and local children will lay flowers, the AFP added.


While most of the victims were Dutch, passengers on the plane also included Australians, Britons, Malaysians and Indonesians, among others.


"Whoever did it should be brought to justice. That's the only story I can share with anyone Authentic Trevor Plouffe Jersey ," Evert van Zijtveld, a bereaved Dutch father who lost his two teenage children in the tragedy, told local media on Thursday ahead of the third anniversary of the disaster.


In March, relatives of the victims planted the trees which symbolize "hope" and "future" in many cultures, according to the monument's official website.


"We not only want to honor the MH17 victims, but also want to create a place where everyone can keep their memories of the 298 passengers alive. Every victim's life will live on metaphorically through these memorial trees Authentic Adeiny Hechavarria Jersey ," said the website.


The ribbon will be surrounded by a ring of sunflowers, which blossom during the month of July. The sunflowers also refer to the sunflower fields in eastern Ukraine where some parts of the plane wreckage were found, the website added.


Though no suspects have been arrested, some progress is being made in the investigation.


In September 2016, a report published by the Dutch-led Joint Investigation Team concluded that the plane was shot down by a Russian-made Buk missile fired from a region in eastern Ukraine, controlled by independence-seeking insurgents.


Moscow and the rebel leadership in eastern Ukraine have denied the allegation Authentic Corey Dickerson Jersey , saying the plane was shot by a missile from the territory controlled by Ukrainian government troops.

CHANGCHUN, Aug. 8 (Xinhua) -- Record box office. Sold-out cinemas. Standing ovations. A new Chinese action film has grabbed the heart of the nation.


"Wolf Warrior 2" has surpassed Stephen Chow's Chinese fantasy comedy "The Mermaid" and topped China's all-time box office sales, raking in more than 3.4 billion yuan (about 505 million U.S. dollars).


The film earned over 423 million yuan on Sunday alone, the second most by a single film on a single day in China, following "The Fate of the Furious" on its second day of screening.


"Wolf Warrior 2" tells the story of a former Chinese Special Forces operative's adventure in Africa's war-torn regions occupied by insurgents and mercenaries.


The total revenue of the film is estimated to reach 5.15 billion yuan Authentic Matt Duffy Jersey , which will exceed the previous all-time box office record of the world's largest film market by more than 1.7 billion yuan, according to Maoyan, a major film database in China.


"My blood literally boiled for more than two hours, and my heart was pumping with pride," said Wang Qiushi, a resident from Changchun Authentic Kevin Kiermaier Jersey , capital of northeast China's Jilin Province. "To get a ticket, I went to a remote cinema in the city, but it was still very hard to find."


People have to book tickets in advance at night and on weekends, said Sun Yeguang, general manager of Changying Cinema in Changchun.


"The film currently accounts for at least 60 percent of all films shown at Changying Cinema," Sun said. "There was a lack of a major blockbuster in July Authentic Chris Archer Jersey , but 'Wolf Warrior 2' really saved the day."


Sun said many of the audience cried while watching the film and gave standing ovations after watching.


Kang Mengwen, a Beijing resident, said that he thought a domestic film on themes such as war and history would be dull, but the film genuinely blew him away.


"I used to study overseas, and I know exactly how important it is to feel protected in foreign countries," Kang said. "When I heard the captain in the film shout 'Fire! Authentic Lucas Duda Jersey ,' I cried because I feel that our country can protect us when we are in danger."


It is not the first time a domestic film about heroism has become a hit.


In 2014, "The Taking of Tiger Mountain," a film about a 1940s Chinese spy, garnered 800 million yuan at the box office. Last year, action film "Operation Mekong," based on a true story set against the backdrop of the Mekong River Massacre Authentic Evan Longoria Jersey , where 13 Chinese sailors were murdered by members of a Myanmar drug trafficking ring, generated 1.1 billion yuan at the box office.


"Wolf Warrior 2 has proved yet again that Chinese heroism films have market potential," Sun said.


Many people have said that the film came out amid a waning sense of there being "true heroes" in Chinese film.


One Beijing resident said that many films today are filled with "xiaoxianr
