On the night of the premiere of the stage play "Xiangxi Corpse Transport", a large number of audience members and fans had already gathered outside the Grand Theater.
They lined up, holding their tickets, their faces beaming with excitement and anticipation, waiting for this cultural extravaganza to begin.
Amidst great anticipation, the originally bright lights in the theater gradually dimmed, as if foreshadowing the unveiling of a past buried by time.
As music full of the unique charm of western Hunan began to play, the stage play "Xiangxi Corpse Transport" opened, and a historical legend that had been dormant for a long time was presented to the audience again.
In the minds of the audience, the imagination of the subject of "Xiangxi Corpse Driving" is often inseparable from the eerie and terrifying scenes and those little-known secrets.
However, unexpectedly, the story's background is not like that.
The story is set against the backdrop of six thousand brave and fearless soldiers defending a besieged city in western Hunan, and is based on true history of the Dragon Kingdom.
War is always a cruel and merciless arena, and these six thousand soldiers ultimately could not escape their fate, all sacrificing their lives heroically.
When the soldiers' families learned of this devastating news, grief overwhelmed them.
They wept bitterly, and the entire theater fell into a deathly silence. The audience members couldn't help but shed tears as well, deeply moved.
In order to allow these soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country to rest in peace and for their souls to return to their hometowns, the sorcerers of western Hunan spared no effort, traveling thousands of miles to drive away the corpses and do everything in their power to bring them back to their hometowns.
With their superb acting skills and superb dance techniques, the actors vividly portrayed the mysterious atmosphere and tragic emotions of the Xiangxi corpse-driving tradition.
Besides the profound patriotism contained in "Xiangxi Corpse Transporter", what surprised the audience the most was the role played by Christian.
Qin Zian and the Xiangcheng Culture and Tourism Bureau did not have any concerns or avoidance because Christian was a foreigner. On the contrary, they allowed the screenwriter to boldly give Christian a highly representative image of a "foreign devil" who symbolizes aggressive behavior.
Christian brought the character to life with his unique sense of humor and superb acting skills.
He not only vividly portrayed the arrogance and ignorance of the invaders on stage, making people hate him to the core.
When the plot reaches a critical juncture, it uses humor to profoundly reveal the inhumanity and absurdity of war.
Christian's exaggerated and expressive physical movements, along with his humorous dialogue, create a striking contrast with the mysterious and unpredictable corpse driver.
Just as the "foreign devils" were deliberately trying to provoke the corpse-driving people of western Hunan, the corpse-driving people, with their deep and solemn gazes and steady and composed steps, silently but powerfully conveyed their deep reverence for the cultural traditions passed down from their ancestors.
The corpse-drivers of western Hunan steadfastly protect the fallen heroes and shoulder the sacred mission of safeguarding China's precious cultural heritage.
As the story unfolds, viewers gradually realize that the "foreign devil" portrayed by Christian is not just a simple villain.
Deep within the heart of the character played by Christian lies a profound reflection on that war and a fervent longing for a peaceful life.
Even so, this still cannot change the fact that the vast majority of viewers grit their teeth and hate the "foreign devil" played by Christian.
Although this stage play uses a humorous performance style to present this history, ultimately...
This brutal war really did happen!
The ancestors of the Dragon Kingdom truly experienced a period of blood and fire, for which they paid with their precious lives.
If we can easily forget or even forgive these things, how can we face those heroes who sacrificed their lives for the country?
...
As the stage play "Xiangxi Corpse Transport" slowly came to a close at the Xiangcheng Grand Theater, the entire audience stood up in unison.
The thunderous applause lasted for a long time, which fully demonstrated the audience's love for the play.
Audiences were captivated by Christian's masterful control and superb performance of the character, and were deeply impressed by his portrayal of a foreign devil.
At the same time, the audience was also deeply moved by the profound ideas and gripping plot of this work.
It turns out that the legend of corpse driving in western Hunan is not a sinister and terrifying ghost story, but hides a series of heroic and moving tales.
When the corpse-drivers carried the remains of those soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country, enduring countless hardships to bring them back to their hometowns, the indomitable spirit of the Chinese people was fully displayed at that moment!
This unique stage play, "The Corpse-Driving of Western Hunan," not only allowed the audience to fully appreciate the mysterious and unique culture of Western Hunan, but also brought them unparalleled artistic enjoyment and a deep appreciation of the enduring strength of the Chinese nation.
Amidst thunderous applause and cheers from the audience, the stage lights gradually focused, and the main creators of the stage play "Xiangxi Corpse Transport" walked onto the stage one after another.
Among them, Qin Zi'an, the main planner of the stage play, and Christian, a foreign friend, are particularly eye-catching.
Unlike previous stage plays, the creators all had bright smiles on their faces, and their expressions were very serious.
Even though there are some comedic elements in "The Corpse Transporter of Western Hunan", it does not change the fact that it is a tragic story.
The contrast between joy and sorrow only amplifies the tragedy.
Christian stood at the very front of the stage, his deep eyes glistening with crystal-clear tears.
He slowly bent down, bowed deeply to the audience, and spoke in a slightly trembling voice with a hint of choked emotion.
"Dear audience members, I am sincerely grateful for your presence here tonight, and I would also like to express my heartfelt thanks for your unwavering support and great encouragement for the stage play 'Xiangxi Corpse Transport'. Being able to personally participate in this soul-stirring work, 'Xiangxi Corpse Transport', is definitely one of the most unforgettable experiences of my life."
As he spoke, Christian paused slightly, his head tilted upward the whole time.
He seemed to be trying to calm his agitated emotions and prevent the tears in his eyes from falling.
After a long pause, Christian straightened up and looked firmly at the audience.
