From June 19th to 21st, the red classic revolutionary story of Zhou Wenyong and Chen Tiujun was performed in the form of an opera at the Guangzhou Grand Theatre, with three performances.

The premiere not only achieved success in artistic expression, but also had a positive impact in multiple dimensions such as red culture dissemination, humanistic and historical education, and the expansion of cultural appeal. This opera The Wedding on the Execution Ground returned with honors, supported by the 2023 Guangzhou Artistic Masterpieces Special Fund, presenting to the audience the profound red cultural heritage and artistic innovation strength of Guangzhou.
