Liu Wenwu (played by Zhang Yu) appears in Snipers.
Liu Wenwu is a Chinese sergeant and the unit’s exceptionally skilled sniper. Using an ordinary Mosin-Nagant rifle with limited range, he earns widespread recognition through precise results and disciplined command. He leads the soldiers through ambushes, traps, shortages, and enemy attacks while pursuing Liang Lianghuan and protecting the boy. Dayong (played by Chen Yongsheng) appears in Snipers.
Dayong is one of the Chinese soldiers caught in the escalating sniper battle. He confronts hidden enemies, battlefield traps, trenches, and severe shortages alongside Liu Wenwu and the rest of the unit. His presence represents the group of soldiers supporting Liu’s mission, several of whom are wounded or killed during the desperate fighting. Jack (played by Scotty Cox) appears in Snipers.
Jack is part of the American group attempting to control the battle’s narrative and present the boy’s capture as evidence of their heroism. His position comes under attack from the Chinese sniper, forcing him and his companions to fight through smoke, bulletproof glass, poor visibility, and dwindling ammunition while relying on their fortified vehicle. Liang Lianghuan (played by Liu Yitie) appears in Snipers.
Liang Lianghuan becomes the central target of the Chinese mission after the unit receives orders to bring him back alive or dead. He may possess information considered more valuable than an entire division, making him crucial to both sides. Liu Wenwu and the Chinese soldiers search for him while the Americans use his body and the boy in their own plan.
