'Old Red-Army Soldier's Wishes'

It was the 70th Anniversary of the Victory of the Red Army's Long March in 2006. Feng Jianxi thought of shooting the stories of the old Red Army soldiers who had participated in the Long March and recording their 'Chinese spirit'. He then found nine old Red Army soldiers living in Chongqing.

Dai Fujiu and Peng Yun is a couple living in Pengjia Huayuan, Daping. They are known as the 'Long March Husband and Wife' since they formed ties by the Long March.

During the Long March, the couple had taken a precious couple photo. Feng was also moved by their love story. He then asked the couple to reproduce the previous scenarios shown in the old photo and took a new photo of them. There are seventy years between the two photos.

Feng specially borrowed a suit of Red Army clothing from the Chongqing Song and Dance Ensemble and brought it to Ran Xiuzhen who is also an old Red Army soldier. A smile appeared on face of the 86-year-old Ran Xiuzhen after putting on the clothing.
