Note: A few years ago, I was surprised to learn from New York Times that an American soldier who died in active duty did not recieve much. The deceased does get a government-funded funeral with honor guard, flag and all that, under Section 578 of Public Law 106-65 of the National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal year 2000.

("death gratuity" began in 1908; "Everyone in the military is now automatically insured for $250,000 through a group life-insurance program that charges modest premiums"/ military now pays up to $6,900 for funeral expenses)
The amount has not been raised since.

(table: Benefit Plan (SBP) Eligibility; heading: Continuing Eligibility)
But US Army does not pay much. Go to http://www.goarmy.com/
and select the pull-down menu in the tag "Benefits" at the top horrizontal bar.
My comment: This report as well as a few English-language reprots published by US media does not say if Chinese movie makers increase or decrease their box-office revenues in 2012, compared from a year or years ago. So there is no way for me to judge if Chinese studios are in financial trouble.
