Guo, a Jiangxi native, led the team to visit local revolutionary sites and learn the stories about the Jianggang Mountains. The choreographer also adapted the rhythm of Jiangxi's tea leaf-picking operas, a local folk art form, to reflect the regional style.
The dance drama premiered at the National Center for the Performing Arts in Beijing on Oct 10, 2017, marking the 90th anniversary of the foundation of the PLA.
Next January, it will be staged at the Hainan Opera House.
