"Battle Shanghai" in Fuzhou
"Battle Shanghai" rehearsal training
"Battle Shanghai" has toured more than 40 cities across the country in the five years since its creation, with a total of more than 100 performances. As a tour project of the "City of Glory" 2024 Shanghai Red Culture Season, "Battle of Shanghai" promotes the transmission of red genes from generation to generation in the form of stage art. At Wuhan Station, the audience burst into warm applause when they saw the multimedia display of "May 27, Shanghai was liberated". The weather in Quanzhou, Xiamen, Fuzhou and other places is changeable, but the enthusiasm of the audience has not diminished at all. They overcome unfavorable conditions such as weather and traffic and come to watch the performances one after another. It was raining continuously at Xiamen Station, and the theater was crowded. After the performance, many audience members were still reluctant to leave. They waited in the actor's aisle for a long time, turning on their mobile phones, just to take autographs and photos with the actors to express their love and support for "Battle of Shanghai". After the performance in Quanzhou, the audience left messages in the program booklet thanking them for the wonderful performance.

The audience who came to watch the show with their children said that "War in Shanghai" "Shanghai" allows children to understand the revolutionary process in a subtle way and feel the hard-won happiness of life. An audience member said: "At first, I was worried that the children would not be able to understand it, but later I found that the children enjoyed it. The play is a real historical story, which is beautiful and educational." During the Wenshi
tour, the cast and crew showed a high degree of professionalism. The leading actor Wang Huaifu suffered multiple recurrences of old injuries on his feet, but he still went all out on stage to portray the heroic image of a company commander. Young actors Hu Leyuan, Zhang Yihao, He Nianzhou and others have always maintained a high level of performance despite injuries. The
tour is not only a performance stage for actors, but also a process of acrobatic cultural exchange and integration. When "Battle of Shanghai" was performed in Fuzhou, the stage equipment was accidentally damaged. The Fujian Provincial Acrobatic Troupe quickly reached out to provide new performance equipment to help the crew complete the performance smoothly. The Fujian Provincial Acrobatic Troupe also organized more than 100 members to attend the show to support the show and presented flowers to the Shanghai actors at the curtain call. Zhang Dahong, head of the Fujian Provincial Acrobatic Troupe, hopes that both parties can learn from each other and make progress together on the road of acrobatic art, and contribute to the prosperity and development of acrobatic art.
The cast and crew of "Battle of Shanghai", organized by the temporary party branch of the tour, visited the Quanzhou People's Liberation Army Martyrs Temple, the old site of the New Fourth Army Office in Fuzhou, Lin Zexu Memorial Hall, Bing Xin's former residence, Lin Juemin's former residence, etc., and through "walking, performing, and collecting "Continuously draw spiritual strength, strengthen faith, and improve yourself.
