    "Be sure to go to the Daxiong Palace in Xiaoxitian. The carving is very shocking. It is worth watching carefully. It is worthwhile to taste ~ It is not too many people on this trip, but the road to go is not very good. There are coal trucks all the way, but it is really worth a visit."
    Xi County

Each performance lasts 65 minutes. With the revolutionary history of Yan'an as the background, it consists of four parts: "A Museum of Memory", "A Cluster of Sparks", "A Long March Road", and "An Immortal Flag". With a Red Army diary as the clue, it takes you back in time in a flashback way, and shows you a tortuous story and a real historical period from the perspective of an ordinary soldier.Act 1 | A Museum of MemoryWhen Liu Nian, the grandson of veteran Red Army soldier Liu Baoshun, was sorting out his father's belongings, he discovered a diary left by his grandfather. The photo in the diary seemed to bring him back to that fiery era - his grandfather and his red flag squad embroidered the red flag, looking forward to the future and looking forward to victory, while more comrades who sacrificed on the road faced the miserable death with their tenacious will and sincere hearts...Nearly a hundred years have passed since the Long March, and there are only a few veteran Red Army soldiers still alive. Now Liu Nian has returned to Yan'an, trying to find and take the audience to find the footprints of those disappeared unknown heroes.Act II | A Spark That Sets the Field ablazeAfter the baptism of the Long March and the battles, the 20-year-old Liu Baoshun became a qualified soldier, but the Red Flag Squad comrades who died in the Long March were always in his heart, which also made him confused for a Duration. However, the Japanese bombers did not let go of Yan'an. In the passionate and magnificent rhythm of "Yellow River Cantata" and the flying gunfire, Liu Baoshun resolutely raised the flag and shouted for national independence and liberation. In the smoke and rubble, Liu Baoshun seemed to see those dead comrades again. They encouraged him to go on bravely and firmly, because he had grown into a real soldier...Act 3 | A long long marchWhen climbing the snowy mountain, the dying "Red Flag Squad" leader (and flag bearer) Jiang Yuangui left the flag to his young comrade Liu Baoshun in the team, saying that young people are the hope of this country. However, illness, pain and even mental collapse followed one after another, and comrades fell one by one. The boundless grassland became a bigger nightmare for this team... Later, the 17-year-old Baoshun took the blessings of his dead comrades, held up the flag of the Red Flag Squad and walked out of the grassland alone.

    "Hukou Waterfall is very worth going as the second waterfall in China. It has its own characteristics compared with our Huangguoshu Waterfall in Guizhou. It is a place worth going.

    "It’s much fun than Yuntai Mountain, and the whole scenic spot feels like a back garden. The cable car at Yuhuangding is broken. It can only be that the through train on the return trip back to Linyi is free. Remember to buy the seal collection book in the urgent matter at the foot of the mountain. Don’t forget to eat tofu, especially the leek cauliflower. It’s too awkward."
