Xibaipo keeps history alive

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."
