Did you watch the grand National Day celebration on TV on Oct. 1 this year? There were many student performers (表演者). What would it feel like to be part of such a great event? Three teenagers shared their stories with us.

Zhou Jingqi, 14, Beijing

I was in one of the 36 formations (方阵). We were wearing yellow T-shirts, holding flowers and flags in our hands. I shouted loudly “Long live our motherland”. It may not seem hard to walk in a formation. But we started training (训练) as early as July. We had four group training sessions in Changping, Beijing. We learned to walk at a certain pace-walking 116 meters every 90 seconds.

On October 1, we waited at Dongdan at 2 a.m. But I didn’t feel sleepy that day. Instead, I was full of joy and pride. I’ll never forget seeing the aircraft flying above my head and making the shape of a “70”!

Ma Conglin and Ma Congyuan, 15, Beijing

We are twin brothers. We sang in a choir (合唱团). Our choir performed 16 songs, including My Motherland and Me and On the Hopeful Field. We practiced hard over the summer. Sometimes we had to stand and sing for a whole day. We canceled (取消) our family vacation because we needed to practice.

On the night of performance, we were surprised by the strong sound of people singing together. Our hard work paid off and it was such a great honor to be there!

China’s film industry (产业) started when New China was born. It started in 1949 with a movie called Bridge. After that, Chinese movie industry experienced ups and downs. It really began to take off in the 1980s. Chinese films became popular abroad. For example, the 1982 film Shaolin Temple made more foreign people want to learn Kung fu. Now, China is the world’s second-largest film market, with 66,000 cinema screens-the most of all the countries. Since 1949, China has made over 12,000 movies.

What’s the most popular movie this year? Many people say it’s Ne Zha. He stands on two flaming wheel (风火轮). He has three heads and six arms. Most of you might already know the old story of Ne Zha. But the new film Ne Zha this summer shows a different side of the young hero.

In the film, Ne Zha is born as a bad child. People hate and fear him. Their prejudice (偏见) is like a mountain. No one can move it. However, Ne Zha doesn’t believe it. He wants to be a hero and helps people catch monsters (妖怪). “The one that shapes my destiny will always be myself rather than the gods (我命由我不由天),” he says. In both the old and new stories, Ne Zha’s fighting spirit (抗争精神) never goes away. That’s why people still love him today.
