A passionate and inspiring song, a vigorous and dynamic dance, moving scenes vividly show the performance of the Communist Party of China leading the Chinese people in revolution, construction and reform for a century...... On the evening of July 1, the great journey, a literary performance celebrating the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China, was broadcast on CCTV. More than 400 performers and staff from Jilin Province made a wonderful appearance and sent the most sincere and affectionate wishes to the centennial birthday of the Party with their exquisite performances.

On the evening of June 28, the great journey, a literary performance celebrating the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China, was held in the National Stadium "Bird's Nest". Before and after the party, the reporter walked into the performance team of Jilin Province and listened to their stories behind the rehearsal.

Jilin Song and Dance Troupe, which has been on the stage of CCTV Spring Festival Gala for 24 consecutive years, carefully selected 60 outstanding actors to participate in six programs, including scene dance "Uprising", scene chorus "Roar the Yellow River", and dance "Founding Ceremony". "This performance is of great significance. It is not only a gift to the Party's centennial birthday, but also an important platform to show the Chinese style to the world. We must show the highest level of performance to win honor for Jilin and China!" Leng Mingyu, head of the Jilin Song and Dance Troupe, said enthusiastically.

Time is tight and the task is heavy. After receiving the invitation notice of the evening performance at the beginning of the year, Jilin Song and Dance Troupe attached great importance to it and selected 30 male and female actors with high political literacy and professional ability. On March 25, they began to rehearse in the early stage at the Jige residence in Beijing. On April 12, they arrived in Jizhong District of Beijing to rehearse with other teams. In order to present the program to the audience more brilliantly, all the actors rehearsed against time. "In the process of rehearsal, we encountered many unexpected difficulties. Everyone tried to overcome all difficulties to ensure the smooth progress of the performance. Today's performance was particularly good, and for each of our performers, it was the most unforgettable memory in life." Leng Mingyu said.

There were also 410 students from the Dance School of Jilin Academy of Arts who also made a brilliant debut in the artistic performance. "We all performers are very proud to be able to participate in this important performance at the historic moment of the centennial founding of the Party." After the performance, Zhang Jielan, the dean of the Dance School of Jilin Academy of Arts, expressed his excitement. She told reporters that the school's performance team has been training hard and striving for perfection for more than three months in Beijing. "For all teachers and students, this process is not only a test of physical and psychological quality, but also a test of will quality. What's more, while polishing the program, everyone has a deeper understanding of the glorious history of the Party and a deeper feeling for the Party."

100 years of great changes, 100 years of magnificent journey. This night, the lights were bright, singing and applause merged into a sea of joy, and the atmosphere was pushed to a climax again and again. Qiao Xi, a student from the Dance School of Jilin Academy of Arts who just finished the performance, was excited. As a student party member, she felt honored to participate in this artistic performance. "When we first arrived in Beijing for rehearsal, there was a big temperature difference. Many students did not adapt to the local climate, and sometimes had colds or injuries. But we encouraged each other, especially when we thought of the hardships and difficulties of building the Party for a hundred years, we were more confident. In the usual rehearsal and study, we must also carry forward the spirit of not being afraid of hardship and fatigue, and make our modest contribution to the Party and the people. "

"Without the Communist Party, there would be no new China..." At the end of the program, with an inspiring melody, the audience stood up and sang "Without the Communist Party, there would be no new China" together. The magnificent song resounded through the "Bird's Nest", and the warm applause lasted for a long time. Performers and staff in our province have expressed that the program is wonderful and shocking, which shows the glorious progress of the party's centennial history through a variety of artistic means, allowing people to relive the turbulent and earth shaking development miracle. In the future, based on their own work, they will continue to launch more meaningful and emotional literary and artistic works to praise the Party. (Reporter Zhao Mengzhuo)
