Recently, under the guidance of the Shanghai Theatre Academy and the Shanghai Conservatory of Music as its military-civilian co-construction partners, a naval destroyer of the Northern War Zone presented a cultural feast with the theme of "Road of Heroes & Friendship of Comrades-in-Arms" to the retiring soldiers in the form of “soldiers playing the role of soldiers, soldiers telling the stories of soldiers, and soldiers singing about soldiers”. The evening was directed by Qiu Haiping, a teacher from the Shanghai Theatre Academy College of Continuing Education. The students of the College of Continuing Education acted as the emcees and actors of the evening. Teachers and students of the College of Continuing Education together also presented their carefully prepared performances to the retiring soldiers.
Navy soldiers garrison our country's sea territory all year round with heavy responsibilities and busy tasks, and seldom have the opportunities to appreciate live cultural and artistic performances. This time, teachers and students of the Shanghai Theatre Academy College of Continuing Education gave full play to their specialist skills and presented to the navy soldiers a brilliant live cultural and artistic show. In particular, the characteristics of “soldiers playing the role of soldiers, soldiers telling the stories of soldiers, and soldiers singing about soldiers” won unanimous praise from navy officers and soldiers and left an unforgettable impression on the retiring navy soldiers. Military-civilian co-construction is a compelling responsibility of higher education institutions. In undertaking such tasks in the future, the Shanghai Theatre Academy College of Continuing Education will further exert its professional advantages to achieve even better results.
