Features: Zhongnanhai, a solemn and sacred place. Throughout history, it has left behind countless stories worth savoring. "Chunouzhai," a lesser-known place within Zhongnanhai. It was here that Tian Ling, a student of the Dance Troupe of the People's Liberation Army Art Troupe, a child soldier wearing a red scarf, first met Chairman Mao Zedong. Under the sunshine, Tian Ling was growing up, yet before she had time to savor the taste of happiness or fully immerse herself in her dreams of the future, a historic political movement pushed her into the storms of life. In adversity, she turned to Chairman Mao. With the passage of time and the hardships of life, Tian Ling embarked on a journey of searching high and low. On this journey, she returned to Zhongnanhai again. The care and teachings from Chairman Mao brewed the sweetest wine in Tian Ling's life, and with the passage of years, its flavor grew richer. The interactions between the leader of the Republic and a young soldier were thus etched into the final years of Chairman Mao's life and into Tian Ling's unforgettable memories. To commemorate the 110th anniversary of Chairman Mao's birth, the author, from the perspective and insights of an Art Troupe member, objectively and fairly recorded some of the things she witnessed and experienced.
