All set for China’s 70th anniversary

BEIJING: Dressed in a blood-stained Chinese army uniform and a cap with a red star in the center, Wang Huaifu and his comrades gesture with guns in front of a row of soldiers triumphantly waving torn scarlet flags.

Wang is the lead actor in the patriotic “Battle of Shanghai” acrobatics show, a visual recreation of 1949 battles between the Communists and the Nationalists for control of Shanghai.
