"Revisiting the feelings of the revolution, promoting the spirit of the revolution, and paying tribute to the revolutionary martyrs" is not only the main purpose of the Peking opera "Red Army Story", but also the core spirit of the starring actors who want to pass to the audience. Faced with the upcoming performance, the main creative and starring team absorbed the former performance experience, and continuously adjusted and enhanced the mastery and control of the plot, singing and roles based on this, so as to better convey the profound connotation of the "Red Army Story" to the audience Essence

Li Bo, the starring actor of "Half Tibetan Belt", said that in the process of shaping the role and performing performances, in addition to interpreting the glorious history of the Red Army Long March, it reflects the spirit core of the role. In the final stage of the Red Army to break the food in the final stage of the grass, the squad leader Liu Honggen endured his son's relics -half of the belt to help his comrades through the difficulties. At this difficult moment, it was not food that really supported the Red Army out of the grass, but a firm belief. There is also the dedication of Liu Honggen in the play. " Through the performance of the Red Army Story, Li Bo hopes to evoke the resonance of young audiences, so that they will always remember that the happy life today is made by the hard work and sacrifice of the Red Army soldiers.

Bi Xiaoyang, the starring star of "Half Cotton", also has similar ideas. "In that difficult times, the three young female soldiers gave the only half of the quilts to the people in the severe cold. What a moving story, she said. "The descendants of Xu Jiexiu I played in reality have watched many performances in person, and each time I was moved with tears for the deeds of the three female soldiers." Bi Xiaoyang believes that the actions of the female soldiers dedicated to the people in the story are the noble qualities of the Chinese people in their hearts. With her respect for the Red Army soldiers, she constantly polished her role and strived to better spread the lofty spirit of the Red Army soldiers' selfless dedication in the interpretation of the Long March story.

"Although the era of the Red Army has a certain period of time, the Red Army soldiers are indomitable and the spirit of persistent revolutionary beliefs," said Du Yan, the starring role of "Military Director". In the rehearsal, he presented the Red Army soldiers as an ordinary person with limb movements, making the role of Military Director Huo Yan even more lively. After giving the cotton clothes to his comrades, Huo Yan himself was tortured in the cold wind. It is this contrast that the Red Army soldiers are also as flesh and bloody people. Although they will also subconsciously tremble because of the cold, they still sacrifice their own selfless spirit to make comrades. "I hope to review this glorious history with the audience in this performance, inherit the spirit of the revolution, continue the red blood, and take the Long March path of the new era," Du Yan said.

At present, "The Story of the Red Army" has entered the final rehearsal and sprint stage, and will appear on the Beijing Meilanfang Grand Theater on September 9th and 10th.
