"Impression Wulong" centers on the endangered "Sichuan River Boatmen's Chant," immersing you in the magnificent scenery of the Wulong Natural Heritage Site and the unique charm of the Sichuan-Chongqing region in a 70-minute live performance.

[Father's Ship] After the Industrial Revolution, motorized ships replaced manual labor, and this scene of labor has disappeared. However, the spirit and bloodline left by our forefathers should not disappear. Respecting our ancestors and the source of our civilization is respecting history and our memories. The inheritance of civilization is the foundation of a nation's survival.
[The Weeping of Young Women Before Their Wedding] They wash their feet in a dry wooden basin. Although their faces are not visible, one can feel their joy and fear before their wedding. They sing: "My father, my mother, only when I get married do I realize the suffering of my parents." They slowly walk out of the corridor, displaying their marriage with delicate and shy dance steps.
【Chuanjiang Boatmen's Chant】Experience the beautiful mountains and rivers of Wulong, the misty landscape, and appreciate the local customs, love, hate, and tragedy of the Sichuan Basin. Listen again to the bold and magnificent "boatmen's chants" with curiosity, responsibility, and respect. Not for nostalgia, not for inheritance, but to know where we come from, to ensure the continuity of our bloodline.
