The Blue Express, or China Express, is a 1929 Soviet silent drama film directed by Ilya Trauberg (Assistant director of October: Ten Days That Shook the World). China in the 1920s: an express train to bring travelers to Russia is waiting to depart. As in the reality of society, passengers on the train are divided into three classes: in the first class, accompanied by military honors, the British envoy; with him missionaries, diplomats, entrepreneurs. Sales representatives, citizens, and scholars sit in the compartments of the second class. The ordinary workers have to be satisfied with the third class.
The following weapons were used in the film The Blue Express:
The other overseer (Yakov Gudkin) a 1914 Mauser Pocket Pistol. The Chinese General (Chai Wan Sen) and the British envoy (Sergei Minin) can be seen using this pistol at the end.
Chinese soldiers, some policemen and later workers can be seen carrying German Gewehr 98s, probably standing for Hanyang Type 88, M1907 and Type 24 Zhongzheng rifles. Most of these rifles are fitted with Seitengewehr 98/05 bayonets.
