On August 14, 1900, during the suppression of the "ihetuani" (or other name for "boxers") uprising, coalition troops liberated (or captured?) the capital of the Qing empire, Beijing, and lifted the siege from the embassy quarter.
Based on the story of the siege of the embassy quarter, American director Nicholas Ray made the epic film "55 Days at Peking". The film was nominated for an Oscar: Dmitry Tyomkin (Best Song and Best Music). But he was not destined to receive the fifth gold statuette in his career.
