How was the dance drama "The Red Detachment of Women" created?
The ballet "Red Detachment of Women" is based on the movie of the same name. It tells the story of China during the Second Domestic Revolutionary War: The tortured Qiong Hua, unable to endure the oppression of the landlord Nan Batian, escapes from the tiger's mouth and encounters Hong Changqing, a party representative of the Red Army, who guides Qiong Hua to the Red Army. After the death of Hong Changqing, she took over the red flag and bravely went forward. This dance drama with shocking tragic plot, magnificent and gorgeous scenes, distinctive characters and the regional flavor of Hainan Island, from its birth, has won a lot of praise. It is the first ever ballet to portray the image of the heroic Chinese "pointe shoes", blending the essence of ballet with the Chinese style, adding a unique flower to the world ballet scene. The Red Detachment of Women is based on the struggle of the Red Detachment of Women in Hainan during the Second Domestic Revolutionary War, and centers on the experience of Wu Qionghua, who grew up from a slave to a ****anitarian soldier, showing the revolutionary spirit and heroism of the women of the old society who, under the leadership of China's ****anitarian Party, fought for freedom and for the liberation of women. The play well reproduces the heroine Wu Qionghua's brave, stubborn, deep and kind character, and shapes the heroic image of Hong Changqing, a cadre of the Red Army, with rich ideological connotations and strong artistic influence.
