On the occasion of the 72nd anniversary of the founding of New China, in the Jianchuan Museum Cluster, the largest folk museum in China, Sichuan literary and artistic people used ingenious theme associations and ingenious and unique performing arts practices to present a "Celebrating the Centenary of celebrating the Centenary and Welcoming the National Day" sitcom for the birth of the great motherland and recited "Listening to New China".

In the Red Boat of the South Lake of the Centennial Museum, the classic poem "Torch" from Ai Qing was recited by a group of teachers and students, who held aloft a horse lantern and bloomed a smiling face, "One by one the torches lined up in a glowing procession, flowing into a river of red light, "the flames are overwhelming, bright as day."

On July 7, 1939, to commemorate the second anniversary of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, a grand torch parade was held in Guilin, and when Ai Qing was in the parade, he saw more than 10,000 people holding torches gathered in public stadiums, and the torch held high was like the spark of the star revolution that finally burned throughout China, and also illuminated the Chinese people who were determined and indomitable in the darkness. Greatly shaken, Ai Qing wrote "Torch", which has been passed down to this day.

Led by Li Rong, advisor to the Broadcast Host Committee of the Sichuan Television Artists Association, An Li, Zhang Yi and Chen Jingjing, hosts of Sichuan Radio and Television Station, Yuan Li, An Ran and Zhang Hui, hosts of Chengdu Radio and Television Station, and students majoring in Sichuan Film and Broadcasting, this group of teachers and students who performed together deeply interpreted the story background and poetry essence of this "Torch" in the light and shadow flow of The Jianchuan Museum.
