[Explanation] The roaring wind swept the flying snowflakes.

In an instant, the white hair wind engulfed the vast grassland... The scene on the stage seemed to take us back to that special blizzard.

  Recently, the dance drama "Little Sisters of Prairie Heroes" was staged in Hohhot, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, and the performance was packed.

At the end of the performance, "Little Sisters" Long Mei and Yu Rong personally visited the scene and pushed the atmosphere to a climax.

  [Explanation] It is understood that the dance drama "Little Sisters of the Prairie Heroes" is based on the well-known "Little Sisters of the Prairie Heroes" Longmei and Yurong's true heroic deeds, and incorporates Mongolian dances, Mongolian costumes, ethnic music, etc. The elements are fully integrated into the choreography of the dance drama, reproducing the touching story of Long Mei and Yu Rong in the blizzard of protecting the flock of the commune regardless of personal safety.

  [Explanation] The reporter walked into the back of the play and learned that all the actors in the play were teachers and students from the Inner Mongolia Academy of Art. In order to perform this classic play well, the school established the Ulan Muqi Dance Troupe.

However, every year students graduate from school, a new batch of actors must be replaced, which also makes the re-arrangement of the dance drama much more difficult.

  Then (students) graduated and walked a batch, we have to re-rehearse a batch, and we will re-rehearse for 3 sessions. Every time we re-rehearse the dance drama, we will fight a tough battle. Every step of the way is difficult to achieve success. We have paid a lot of this. A lot of price and sweat.

Including the neatness of counting sheep, that is one exercise for one afternoon, scary, four exercises in four hours.

  [Explanation] Zha Suna from the Dance Academy of Inner Mongolia Academy of Arts is the actor of her younger sister Yu Rong. Although she has played the role of her younger sister for 5 years, in order to better interpret the role, she even wrote "Little Sisters of the Heroes of the Grassland" "The cartoon has been watched more than a hundred times.

  [Explanation] Cai Xuri, 22 years old this year, was previously a group performer in this show. After the last "sister" actor graduated, she has just been selected for the role of sister Longmei.

The tight rehearsal time and heavy rehearsal tasks made Cai Xuri out of breath, and even worried that he might not perform well and thought about giving up.

  In fact, for a while, I felt that I might not be able to do this.

But the teachers have always been behind (support), including those who sent me private messages on WeChat to encourage me, and then the students have always said to be confident and believe in yourself.

Then it is also the spirit of the little sister who does not abandon or give up, and has been supporting me in my heart until now.

  [Explanation] The dance drama "Little Sisters of Heroes on the Prairie" is divided into two acts, "Lesson One" and "Lesson Two", allowing contemporary primary school students to collide and blend with the little sisters of the 1960s.

Lead the audience into the classroom and invigorate the soul.

  Since its premiere in September 2017, the play has undergone 38 revision discussions and formed 5 versions.

Kung fu pays off. In 2018, "Little Sisters of the Prairie Heroes" won the 11th Chinese Dance "Lotus Award" Dance Drama Award, and in 2019, it won the 16th Chinese Culture and Art Government Award-Wenhua Award.

With excellent results, I have handed in satisfactory answers for all these years of hard work.

  In fact, this true and touching story of the little sisters of the prairie heroes was in our textbooks before.

What do I think the dance drama "Little Sisters of Heroes on the Prairie" has brought us?

I think it is a very good ideological and political class. To let us young people carry out aesthetic education, it is a class of aesthetic education.

I think this is a vivid lesson of revolutionary traditional education.
