1937 was the most turbulent years in China's modern history. After the Second Shanghai Incident broke out, the Japanese army launched a large-scale and protracted attack on Shanghai and began the three-month Battle of Songhu. The Battle of Songhu can be said to be the largest and most heroic battle in the Anti-Japanese War, and it also marked the full-scale outbreak of the war between the two countries.

More than 60 years have passed, but now people have forgotten this war? No, the national sentiments of the martyrs are still passed down in this great nation. The recent popular movie "Eight Hundred" was filmed based on this historical background of the Anti-Japanese War. At the end of the Battle of Songhu, the National Revolutionary Army stayed in the Shanghai Sihang Warehouse and fought with the Japanese army for 4 days and 4 nights, completely crushing Japan's "Three Months to Destroy China" plan. The movie "Eight Hundred" has a cumulative box office of 2.402 billion yuan in three weeks after its release, and a cumulative number of movie-watching visitors is 62.79 million.

The film completely restores the fierce and cruel scenes of the war years, and also shows the heroic deeds of those who sacrificed their lives on the battlefield to the national audience. The audience all burst into tears in the theater and felt the same way as the heroic war.

The impressive scene in the movie is the concession looking across the river from the four-line warehouse. On one side, cannon fodder is everywhere, and on the other side, songs and dances are dancing. However, no matter which side, the hearts of the people are closely tied to this inhuman battle. In the real history of Bailemen in Shanghai Beach, there are also bloody cases hidden under the cover of red lights.

Behind the shooting of Bailemen dancer Chen Manli, there are many theories hidden. One is that Chen Manli was shot dead on the dance floor because she refused to dance with the Japanese. Another is that Chen Manli was a staff member of the Chongqing Underground Party. In order to keep secrets and complete the task, she chose to sacrifice herself and exposed her identity and was deliberately murdered by the Japanese. Nowadays, the truth of the matter is no longer known, but Chen Manli's patriotism will remain immortal and is praised to this day.

Now, Xi'an Bailuyuan·Bailucang Scenic Area has moved this ups and downs to the stage. Xi'an's first "large-scale neighborhood real-life interactive performance","Zaiyu·1937", tells the story of Chen Manli's legendary life in the form of song and dance. The performance innovates the traditional form of live performance, using the entire block of the Republic of China style buildings as the stage. The lighting, music, clothing, and buildings all 100% restore the sense of the times of the old Shanghai period. Actors interact with the audience at zero distance. In this war-torn era, every audience is the protagonist, participant and witness.

No one will forget the unbearable history of the past, and no one will forget every hero of that era who sacrificed their lives for the country. In this autumn, come to Bailucang and truly feel those heroic sentiments.
