Red culture shines with the radiance of the times

2025-09-03   

Red culture carries the indomitable struggle of countless revolutionary predecessors and the great dreams pursued by countless heroic children. From this, the younger generation has understood the path of China and realized where China came from and where it is heading. It is precisely because of those heroic martyrs who are not afraid of sacrifice that we have the prosperity and health we have today. I would like to offer my sincerest wishes: May the mountains and rivers be safe, the people be healthy, and the motherland prosper. ”In the guestbook of the Memorial Hall of the Chinese People's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression at the Lugou Bridge in Beijing, a 14-year-old middle school student wrote these heartfelt words. The message board is filled with the thoughts and feelings of visitors. Words cannot fully express the patriotism, which shows the appeal of red culture to the younger generation. In the just passed summer, many red tourism destinations saw a surge in tourists, and red culture is becoming increasingly popular among young people. Searching for red landmarks, participating in study tours with red culture as the theme, purchasing red themed cultural and creative products... Red culture continues to be popular, radiating vitality that transcends time and space in its two-way journey with the youth group. Why does red culture attract young people? The younger generation today has never experienced the tumultuous years of war, nor has they experienced the suffering of shattered mountains and rivers. Breaking the sense of distance in time and space is the key to bringing red history into the hearts of more young people. Museums in the Beijing Tianjin Hebei region have jointly launched a series of red themed routes, organically integrating the history of the Anti Japanese War into red tourism; Zunyi, Guizhou, presents the historical story of the Zunyi Conference in a panoramic manner through the large-scale sitcom "The Great Turning Point", allowing tourists to feel the depth and weight of history in the interweaving of light and shadow; In Wuhan, Hubei Province, the "Era Photography Museum" at the Wuhan Memorial Hall of the Former Central Committee of the Communist Party of China attracts young tourists to take commemorative photos... By immersing themselves in daily life, red culture is not just a "story in books", but also a "history in life", which can subtly inspire more emotional resonance among young people. More vivid expressions of youth also make red culture more attractive. Nowadays, in memorial halls and red scenic spots, young visitors are not satisfied with simply walking around and taking a look, but hope to actively participate, deeply experience, and understand the details. Standing in front of the sound, light, and electricity equipment, watching the old photos come to life; Wear VR glasses and immerse yourself in the revolutionary war scene; Or sit down and watch stage plays or live performances based on red stories... New technologies have changed the way red culture is presented, making it more in line with the acceptance habits of young people. The life and death choices of young soldiers on the Long March, the bloody battles between the military and civilians on the anti Japanese battlefield, and the silent dedication of skilled laborers during the construction period have become more accessible, perceptible, and approachable, further enhancing the attractiveness and infectiousness of red culture. Looking deeper, it also lies in the mutual compatibility between red culture and the pursuit of youth values. Today's young people are a generation that sees the world as a whole. They are firm, confident, and eager to understand the code behind China's miracle. Red culture carries the indomitable struggle of countless revolutionary predecessors and the great dreams pursued by countless heroic children. From this, the younger generation has understood the Chinese road and realized where China came from and where it is going, so that in the dialogue between history and reality, they can further strengthen cultural confidence, enhance national identity, stimulate patriotic enthusiasm, and enhance the ambition, backbone, and bottom line of being Chinese. Red culture has gained more fans among young people, who are also contributing their efforts to inherit the red genes. Either spreading the stories of red cultural relics on video platforms, participating in explanatory activities at red venues, or serving as the main force in creating red plays... The younger generation is injecting youthful vitality into telling good red stories and promoting red culture in their own way. This is a dialogue with history and also an inheritance of spirit.
