From "My Motherland" to "Hymn to the Heroes", from "The Guerrilla Song" to "Ode to Yimeng", from "The Communist Children's Corps Song" to "The Song of the Women's Detachment of the Red Army", from "Praise of the Red Plum Blossom" to "The Red Star Guides Me to Battle"… The red movie songs that have accompanied generations of people's growth are important spiritual legacies and artistic treasures in revolutionary culture, bearing witness to the ups and downs of the journey of Chinese modernization. These red classics, where music and film blend, are constantly being adapted, re-sung, and derived in the 21st century. What aesthetic content, cultural expressions, and industrial characteristics do these "echoes" possess? Centered around this question, this dialogue will launch a cross-temporal, cross-media, and cross-art conversation, leading everyone on this unforgettable red journey.
