"Liu Yongfu's story is a culture in Qinzhou, and each of us should be in it, play the story of Liu Yongfu well, and pass on the spirit of Liu Yongfu." Huang Xi, the actor of the "juvenile version" Liu Yongfu, has a deeper understanding of Liu Yongfu's patriotic spirit.
Stills from the juvenile version of "Liu Yongfu Refuses to Accept the Presidential Seal".
From October 1 to 2, the juvenile version of the tea picking drama "Liu Yongfu Refuses to Accept the Presidential Seal" was premiered at the Sanxuantang Yongfu Theater Building in the former residence of Liu Yongfu in Qinzhou City, a guangxi exchange base for Taiwan. The actors of the play are all from the fourth and fifth grade primary school students of Yongfu Primary School in Qinzhou City, although they do not have a foundation in opera, but they have received "Yongfu" education since childhood, with the worship of national hero Liu Yongfu and the love of traditional tea picking culture, using only a dozen "afternoon school" rehearsal time to have an extraordinary stage performance, vividly and three-dimensionally telling the true and legendary story of Liu Yongfu.
In accordance with the requirements of "heart and God, God and appearance, and appearance and form", the little teenagers conscientiously and attentively threw themselves into rehearsals and performances, and through 8 chapters, such as the joy of Huatang, going to Taiwan in danger, going straight to Tainan, refusing to serve as "president", cross-strait sentiments, vowing to die to protect Taiwan, the difficult reward for heroes, and the light of Qinzhou, they reproduced Liu Yongfu's heroic feats of being a pioneer and leading the Black Flag Army to Resist Japan in Taiwan. Despite all kinds of dangerous situations, Liu Yongfu insisted on defending Taiwan to the death and taking the lead in fighting, which demonstrated his awe-inspiring righteousness and fearlessness in resolutely not allowing Taiwan to split off from the motherland's territory.
Liu Yongfu is a hero of the Chinese nation, and his deeds of indomitable resistance to the invaders have been incomparably admired by the people of all nationalities. "Picking tea" is the most characteristic local opera of Qinzhou and is one of the excellent traditional cultures passed down. The creative performance of the juvenile tea picking drama "Liu Yongfu Refuses to Accept the Presidential Seal" further cultivates the young people's love and inheritance of traditional culture and patriotic education, and uses this as a carrier to vividly tell the "Chinese story", which has been well received by all parties.
