Short Scene: The lead character has been rescued by the Communist Party's Red Army. She is overwhelmed with emotion to be in the liberated area where she is free from feudal oppression and exploitation.
This is one of the model operas that are described in the Wikipedia article about them as being "condemned as an aesthetic and cultural aberration", lol... I'm not sure aberration so much as disaster.
I am lucky to have the music from this ballet on phonograph record. I never thought I'd get a glimpse of it performed. Very beautiful music and dance.

@rollerjimbo No, I don't think anyone hugs their flag. But wearing it on clothing is close enough, if not worse.
