National Ballet of China
The reality is that some of the soldiers fell into a low ebb in the political movements after 1949 because of the experience of being captured by the Kuomintang or being married to "politically incorrect" people. Writers and artists who created the Red Detachment of Women series of works of art were also buffeted to varying degrees. Bai Shuxiang (白淑湘), the first actress to play Wu Qionghua in the ballet Red Detachment of Women, was labeled as “destructive Revolutionary opera" and "counter-revolutionary” and was once sent to a Labor camp. The screenwriter, director, and former head of the National Ballet of China, Li Chengxiang (李承祥), was dismissed as a "capitalist roader" and locked up in a cowshed until the capitalist needed him to play the villain "Nanba Tian南霸天". The archetype and the artistic image, two groups that are far apart from each other, suddenly became class enemies. They are the shadow of the on-stage glorious Red Detachment of Women, where the light of history turns dark.
