Dance is the main component of the work, the choreographer used the traditional Tibetan song and dance form, since the girls appeared, to catch up with the squad leader off the field, is always accompanied by song and dance, to create a passionate, happy, joyful atmosphere. The songs and dances complement each other. Especially when the girls are washing clothes singing: "Uh ......, who helped us turn over alas, who helped us get liberated alas, is the relatives of the People's Liberation Army, is the savior of the **** Producers Party. ...... The army and the people are a family, help our relatives wash ah wash clothes ah." Highlighted the meaning and emotion of the dance, and expressed the Tibetan people's gratitude to the PLA and the ****production party after the liberation of the Tibetan people.
