About This Attraction

"Chongqing 1949" unfolds along three parallel storylines centered around the ancient town of Ciqikou.One thread tells the story of the deep familial bonds, conflicts, and patriotic sentiments among the three Lin brothers. Another recounts the tale of imprisoned communists and democratic activists like Jin Xiu and Sister Hong in the Zhazidong Prison, who remained loyal to their beliefs and unyielding to the end, ultimately sacrificing their lives heroically. The third thread follows Chongqing's underground Communist Party members as they actively rescue their imprisoned comrades while organizing efforts to protect the city's vital production facilities.Three intertwining storylines unfold against the backdrop of an epic historical narrative, vividly portraying a diverse cast of characters. This fresh interpretation of the classic "Red Crag" tale expands its dimensions through broader temporal perspectives and creative angles, presenting a distinctive and unparalleled storytelling experience.In the late 1940s, after three major campaigns, the People's Liberation Army swiftly liberated most of China. However, the southwestern region centered around Chongqing remained under the dark rule of the Kuomintang.In a desperate attempt to reverse their defeat, Lin Zixiong, deputy director of the Nationalist Party's Southwest Administrative Office, Chongqing defense commander, and eldest son of the Lin family, was ordered back to Chongqing. Accompanying him was Zhang Yunxia, a long-time undercover Communist Party member, Lin Zixiong's secretary, and secret lover of the Lin family's third son, Lin Zijie. Meanwhile, the second son, Lin Zihao, followed the People's Liberation Army's Second Field Army in their strategic maneuver to liberate Chongqing in Southwest China. However, Lin Zijie and other revolutionaries, imprisoned in the Zhazidong Prison after being captured, faced imminent death threats. Faced with the temptation of survival, what choices would they make?As the liberating gunfire drew closer to Chongqing, the reactionary Kuomintang regime grew increasingly brutal. Chiang Kai-shek, in a frenzied act, ordered the implementation of the "City Destruction Plan," attempting to blow up all factories in the city and eliminate every "political prisoner" without exception. In this perilous moment, could Zhang Yunxia successfully deliver the intelligence? Would the Chongqing underground party's rescue plan succeed? Could the imprisoned comrades escape alive? Would the war-torn mountain city see the dawn again? The Lin brothers—both blood relatives and political enemies—where would they go? This southwestern stronghold shrouded in dark clouds was about to face its final showdown...This is a grand production that embodies the call for literary and artistic works to "have backbone, morality, and warmth" while "striving to showcase the beauty of faith and the sublime."
