"I was born and has been living in Yimeng, and I watched the Ode to Yimeng Mountain of National Ballet of China when I was a teenager and it is still fresh in my memory. I became interested in the red culture of Yimeng region from childhood also because of Ode to Yimeng Mountain, and felt deeply in love with ballet. I still keep the program book of that year until now." The audience Mr. Du displayed his treasures that had been preserved for decades when he said to us. The book is preserved very well even if the decades had past. He said, " Yimeng spirit is a cultural symbol that Yimeng people are proud of and a spiritual treasure which is worthy to be memorized. The artists of National Ballet of China today have once again present of the Yimeng spirit in the re-created ballet named Yimeng with the characteristics of a new era. It is not only a successful attempt but also a sublimation of the Yimeng spirit!"
