A documentary without soundtrack of the country nearly fifty years ago. Emphasis on Chinese opera and a training course. I had to improvise a soundtrack but am afraid that the opera music does not match.
Thank you for all your video clips. They helped me know more about the past. :-) BTW, starting from "the great wall" @ 2'44, the location should be Beijing, not Wuhan. :-)
Thanks a lot for sharing this and your sound effects and music is superb! If it's shot in Wuhan, at 9:44, I would assume the opera is either Beijing Opera (very popular in Wuhan as well) or the local Wuhan opera, but the soundtrack is actually from YueJu (or Shaoxing Opera that is popular in Shanghai and neighboring Zhejiang province, but not the Wuhan area).
Subtitle at the beginning says steel works not completed because Soviet engineers were expelled. Fact as follows: At the turn of 19th/20th century, Han-Ye-Ping Trust was established. Han is Hanyang, (steel mill). Ye is Daye, (ore mine). Ping is Pingxiang, (coal). It provided large portion of material for railroad construction and weapons manufacture.
Chinese cultural linkage merged Soviet, Chinese and developing countries modernization with Chinese inspired historical materialism to promote state and collectivism.
How are these clips "nice" in any way. It looks like any other third world nation. Like this is their major urban region and even this looks like some poor african country.
