From September 19th to 20th, under the guidance of the Organization Department of the Shaanxi Provincial CPC Committee, the Propaganda Department of the Shaanxi Provincial CPC Committee, and the Party History Research Office of the Shaanxi Provincial CPC Committee, and sponsored by the Contemporary Shaanxi Magazine and Yulin College (Suide Normal School), the drama "Li Zizhou in 1929" based on the revolutionary martyr Li Zizhou was grandly premiered at the Xincheng Theater of xi'an Drama Theatre, and nearly 1,000 people from provincial organs and all walks of life watched the performance. This drama makes full use of red resources and continues the red bloodline, and is a vivid teaching material for carrying out party history study and education.
Li Zizhou was a student of Li Dazhao, an active participant and organizer of the May Fourth Movement, and joined the Communist Party of China in 1923 through Li Dazhao's introduction. After returning to Shaanxi, he taught at Weibei Middle School and Yulin Middle School, and later served as the principal of the Fourth Normal School of Shaanxi Province, training a large number of young Communist Party members and creating a vigorous revolutionary situation in northern Shaanxi. He successively served as a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial PARTY Committee and director of the Organization Department, secretary of the Provincial Military Commission, and acting secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, participated in the organization and leadership of the Qingjian Uprising and the Weihua Uprising, was the pioneer of the Shaanxi Revolution, the founder of the Communist Party of Northern Shaanxi, and one of the founders of the Red Army and the Soviet Region in Northern Shaanxi. In February 1929, Li Zizhou was arrested and imprisoned for traitorous betrayal, and died in June of the same year, but his spirit was continued, and the revolutionary flame sown was burning in northern Shaanxi, laying an indelible contribution to the central Red Army's foothold in northern Shaanxi. Mao Zedong wrote an inscription for Li Zizhou "Founder of the Communist Party of Northern Shaanxi", Zhu De wrote an inscription for Li Zizhou "Founder of the Communist Party of Northern Shaanxi", and Xi Zhongxun wrote an inscription for Li Zizhou "A Generation of Heroic Heroes and Heroes". In 1943, the government of the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region decided to establish Zizhou County to commemorate Li Zizhou.
This drama tells the story of Li Zizhou's last ten days of sacrifice. The life and revolutionary events of Li Zizhou are told in a monologue way, just like the meridian connecting fragments one by one, and Li Zizhou's red history of founding schools, disseminating Marxism, creating the earliest party and group organizations in northern Shaanxi, sowing revolutionary seeds, and carrying out armed struggle practice are clearly visible in the play. Through three fictional characters- Li Diping, the head of the Kuomintang police station, Zhang Furen, a proud protégé, and Li Yi, a student who has a crush on him, the drama uses dialogue to constantly collide, confront, and duel with Li Zizhou on the spiritual level. In the end, Li Zizhou defended the revolutionary will of the Communists in his own way, and roared out with blood, "No matter what my life and death are, standing here I can see that a beautiful new China is like a red sun that spews out of thin air, and it appears on the horizon that is not far away." For this, each of us will pay our own price. I have come to this world and I have fulfilled my mission! ”
The lowness of the picture and the vividness of the characters, the darkness of the lighting and the fiery heat of the heart, the simplicity of the stage and the complexity of the plot, the simplicity and diversity of the music, the calm of the lines and the spraying of the nodes, the brevity of the conflict and the vastness of the background... The short two hours show Li Zizhou's revolutionary cause of more than ten years, the revolutionary spirit of the Communists over the past hundred years, and the diligent pursuit of the Chinese nation for thousands of years.
The play uses green brick relief as the design tone of the stage background, integrates into the classic art form of the song team, uses harmonica to accurately convey the characteristics of that era, and runs through the drama with the international song. The scene design, lighting, sound effects, and exquisite stage design inject vitality into this drama and create an immersive viewing atmosphere for the audience. The actors carved the souls of the characters with their calm and exquisite acting skills, so that this dialogue spanning nearly a hundred years can break through time and space and resonate with the times.
Lin Yongjun, chairman of the China Drama Association, commented: "This drama can undoubtedly be included in the ranks of outstanding plays in the country, and it can be ranked first in the ranks of excellent plays. Wang Shoude, vice chairman of the China Drama Association, said: "Shaanxi has a deep cultural soil and a deeper revolutionary tradition, and the staging of this drama is of particular significance to the spread of the revolutionary spirit of Li Zizhou and others to the country, the nation and our country's foothold in the world." Peng Tao, director of the Department of Drama and Literature of the Central Academy of Drama, said: "The form of this drama is modern, the stage is simple and atmospheric, and it has a strong theater. Li Fa, a first-class actor at the National Drama Theatre of China, once said: "The lines are good, and the setting and arrangement of the relationship between the characters are also quite good." ”
