Leo Tolstoy's "War and Peace" takes the major historical events of Russia in the early 19th century as clues and the stories of the four nobles Bolkonsky, Bezukhov, Rostov and Kuragin. Experience is the main thread. In the interspersed description of war and peace, numerous events and characters are connected together to form a magnificent encyclopedia-style epic. It praises the patriotic enthusiasm and heroism shown by the people in the war and pays tribute to all aspects of the war. Deep sympathy to the victims. On the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Russia, the National Center for the Performing Arts invited artists such as Shu Nan, Yu Rongjun, and Alina Cevek to form a creative team to put "War and Peace" on the musical stage. The musical version of "War and Peace" uses a contemporary perspective to describe the intersection of two lives and two clues, "war" and "peace", examining the relationship between war and peace, praising the spirit of patriotism and heroism, and praising the understanding of the essence of life. Afterwards, the people who still loved life and pursued happiness wrote an endless people's epic.
