In May 1931, in Hainan, China, 120 young female soldiers of the all-women army carried out 50 battles over 500 days, writing a brilliant chapter of life with their blood and the flames of war.
On the occasion of the 97th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China, the large-scale Yinhai Youth live-action shadow play 'The Red Detachment of Women,' in which Dafeng participated in construction, officially premiered in Sanya, paying tribute to and commemorating the revolutionaries who fought and sacrificed on this land of China in a unique way.
In May 1931, in Hainan, China, 120 young female soldiers of the Red Detachment of Women fought in 50 battles over 500 days. It was with their blood and fire that they wrote a magnificent chapter of life; and it was they, a group of young, kind, and resilient women, who, in that special era, took off their red dresses and put on military uniforms, creating a revolutionary miracle for the Chinese nation. They are the Red Detachment of Women!
“The Red Detachment of Women” tells the story of the women soldiers' persistent dedication, bloody battles, and efforts to advance the Chinese national revolution in their pursuit of light and faith. The entire drama is divided into six parts: "Prologue," "Red Calamity," "Red Rebirth," "Red Flame," "Red Forest," and "Epilogue." It uses the mysterious tropical rainforests of Hainan as an environmental motif and the serene, expansive Wanquan River as an emotional symbol. Through the fiery youth of the Red Detachment of Women in their search for light and faith, and the intense battle scenes of their bloody struggles, it recreates the heroic and vigorous spirit of the Red Detachment of Women.
Dafeng combines intelligent stages, immersive dynamic seats, and other integrated systems with live performances. The innovatively designed mobile stage and 2,400-seat movable grandstand change positions according to the storyline, allowing the audience to experience the red classics of Qionghai, relive red memories, and feel the red spirit through artistic innovation.
Outdoor large-scale live performance projects have more technical challenges and uncontrollable factors. In order to present this well-known story anew on the revolutionary land of Hainan, the Dafeng team has carried forward the spirit of tenacity and hard work, striving for excellence in every aspect of creativity, design, production, installation, debugging, performance, and service, creating a high-quality overall integrated solution.

"One minute on stage takes ten years of practice off stage"—this perfectly reflects the reality of Dafeng. In recent years, Dafeng has undertaken large-scale outdoor live performance projects such as 'China Produced a Mao Zedong' and 'The Smoke of the Three Kingdoms.' Relying on its strong comprehensive strength and rich project experience, it overcame many difficulties, including tight project timelines, high installation technical challenges, and harsh on-site conditions, completing all work in just over four months. Before official delivery, it also went through rehearsals, trial usage, and precise adjustments to ensure the stability, safety, and durability of the equipment's operation, guaranteeing the success of the premiere on June 30 and the regular performances thereafter.
Since the 19th National Congress, the belief in 'staying true to the original aspiration, keeping the mission firmly in mind, and striving forever' has never wavered. Dafeng, as a leading enterprise in the cultural and sports industry, takes 'leading the cultural and sports industry and spreading happiness and well-being' as its mission, and strives continuously to meet people's pursuit of a happy and beautiful life.
