"A storm of fear, watching the black clouds cover the ground and the white waves are terrible!" A few days ago, the red classic Shanghai opera "Ludang Tinder", performed by the Shanghai Jinfeng Shanghai Opera Troupe and distributed by the District Cultural Resources Distribution Center, was staged at the Community Cultural Activity Center in Chedun Town.
The actors sang the interlocking and twisting storyline with beautiful tunes and unique styles, vividly interpreting classic roles such as Ah Qingjie, Guo Jianguang, and Mrs. Sha, and the audience was attentive and applauded continuously. "The role of Ah Qing sister-in-law has always been very admirable to me, her personality is spicy and witty, and she fights with evil people with wits and courage." The audience, Ms. Li, was still unsatisfied.
Adapted from the reportage "Blood-Stained Names - Documentary of the Struggle of Thirty-Six Wounded and Sick", "Ludang Tinder" is one of the representative plays in the red treasury of Shanghai opera, and its creative content is derived from life, but it does not copy life, so the script is vivid and interesting and fascinating. After many adaptations and re-performances, this classic New Fourth Army anti-Japanese drama is often performed.
In the play, the New Fourth Army moved to Jiangnan, and a certain unit was ordered to transfer, and gave the task of covering 18 wounded and sick to Ah Qingyi, an underground traffic officer who was openly the lady of the Chunlai Tea House, and she and the local people hid the wounded and sick in the reeds in Yangcheng Lake. Rikou could not find it for a long time, so he gave the search task to Hu Chuankui, commander of the "Loyal National Salvation Army", who had secretly defected to the enemy at that time, and Diao Deyi, an instructor. Sister-in-law Ah Qing skillfully coped with the secret agent Diao Deyi and entered the tiger's den, leading the guerrillas to surround and annihilate the enemy.
"'Ludang Tinder' is an old Shanghai drama, and many elderly people have seen it. However, the old drama is newly performed, and the audience of all ages on the scene is enjoying it, indicating that the red classic is worth inheriting. The staff at the activity center said.
