This year is the centenary of the birth of film master Sun Daolin, after 63 years, Sun Daolin, who is frozen on the big screen, is still 37 years old, and when he first appeared in front of the audience with a clear color image and said "Comrades, farewell forever", the audience still has wet eyes.

Audience member Ms. Yang said, "The old film is clearly repaired and shocking, and after adding color, the blood in the eyes of the lead actor is clearly recognizable, and it is also very meaningful to see this film on National Day." ”

At the screening scene, the 98-year-old Xu Chengying mother-in-law who came to watch the film accompanied by her family said, "I have seen the black and white version many times, this is the first time I have seen the color version, the picture is very clear, I feel very satisfied." ”

It is reported that the restoration work of "The Eternal Radio Wave" released this time is a project restoration team formed by the Central Video 5G New Media Platform of the Central Radio and Television Corporation and the China Film Archive, which combines the human-computer interactive AI coloring technology with independent intellectual property rights in China with traditional restoration techniques, and repairs more than 160,000 frames of black and white images of the original film frame by frame for more than 7 months, so that this red classic is rejuvenated and becomes a vivid teaching material for party history study education and patriotism education.
