Xibaipo Memorial has a documentary with footage shot in 1947, recording the real-life scenes of Xibaipo. Watching the local people voluntarily sewing shoes for the soldiers with the last piece of cloth at home, some tourists are moved to tears. Wang captures this scene and smiles. For him, this happens every day. "The video is our treasure of the museum. It is precious because it is real."

Cui Yangzhen is graduate student majoring in international journalism and communication at Tsinghua University, and is on a field survey tour with her classmates in Tianjin and North China's Hebei province in early November.
