Eternal Journey

Eternal Journey is a sweeping musical odyssey that brings the spirit of China’s legendary Long March to life through a carefully curated selection of songs and orchestral pieces. The program opens with emotive vocal excerpts from the large‑scale “Red Army Is Not Afraid of the Difficulties of the Expedition – Long March Suite,” including the stirring "Farewell," the heroic "Four Crossings of Chishui Surprise," the soaring "Flying Over the Dadu River," the rugged "Crossing the Snow Mountain Meadow," the serene "Annunciation," and the triumphant "The General Assembly." The score then turns to powerful orchestral works, featuring the energetic "Ten Sending the Red Army" from the TV series *Long March*, and the moving ending theme from the same episode. The concert celebrates contemporary talent with Zhu Zhengben’s stirring song and the brilliant performance by Luan Kai. Highlights continue with the heartfelt “Love Forever,” a masterful selection from the opera *Yimeng Mountain* with lyrics by Wang Xiaoling and Li Wenxu, and the lyrical “Weishui Flowing East” performed by bamboo flute and band, famous for its high‑pitched wave motif. The musical journey culminates in the cinematic “Ode to Yan’an” and the iconic theme from *Never Dying Radio Waves*, composed by Mo Ye and Zheng Lucheng. The finale is crowned with the lush orchestral “Shandandan Flowers Bloom Red and Beautiful” by Liu Feng and Tu Yejiu, and the vibrant, modern anthem “China in the Lights” by Shu Nan. Join us for an unforgettable concert film, where history, heroism, and contemporary artistry converge to create a timeless tribute to the enduring spirit of the Long March.
