英语文摘:Opening of "Triple Tap" postponed to early July

BEIJING, June 6 -- The opening of director Derek Yee's action film "Triple Tap" has been postponed to July 2, the Shanghai Youth Daily reports.

The film was scheduled to hit cinemas in China on June 30.

This decision to postpone the film's opening was in deference to Jet Li's film "Ocean Heaven," which is scheduled to open in cinemas on June 18. To support Li's efforts to call attention to autistic children, the entire "Triple Tap" cast and crew decided to postpone the film's opening to boost public awareness about autism, which is the theme of "Ocean Heaven."

Yu Dong, President of Bona, the production company of "Triple Tap," told reporters that the decision was made a few days ago when Li phoned to tell him about the release date of his first non-action film.

"Ocean Heaven" tells the story of a terminally ill man who tries to help his autistic adolescent son.
