Based on a true story, Youth in War tells the story of a group of energetic young people who are not afraid of bullets, bear hardships and stand hard work, go through many severe tests, strengthen their belief in saving the country through science and become outstanding talents of the country.
In the play, the full name of National Southwest Associated University is National Southwest Associated University. This school is not fictional, it is real. During the Anti-Japanese War, Peking University, Tsinghua University and Nankai University moved to Changsha and established the National Changsha Temporary University. After being bombed by the Japanese army, the National Changsha Temporary University moved to Kunming and changed its name to National Southwest Associated University. Schools like National Southwest Associated University are temporary joint universities established after several universities moved to Changsha during the Anti-Japanese War. This university is also very famous, and that history has never been known.
The Creative Background of Youth in War
The script of the play has been carefully polished for six years, and I dare not take it lightly. In order to better show the theme of The National SouthWest Associated University's youth inspirational thought and convey patriotic feelings, the play took six years to polish the script, and successively created and revised 14 versions, and held 72 script discussions.
The crew also visited many historical museums in Tsinghua, Peking University, Yunnan Normal University, Tengchong West Yunnan Anti-Japanese War Memorial Hall, Mengzi University of Arts and Sciences and other places to collect ideas seriously. During the emotional gestation period of the second creation, the founders lived actively, wrote down their experiences and conducted professional knowledge training for one month.
