An opening ceremony was held in the China National Film Museum on April 27, bringing a number of stars and filmmakers such as actresses Tian Hua and Tao Yuling together.
The lineup highlights Song of Youth (1959), Heroic Breed: Heroic Sons and Daughters (1964), Sparkling Red Star (1974), and the biographical film Jiao Yulu (1990).
