Red Detachment of Women ballet - Happy Female Soldier video

The NYtimes posted a video recently talking about how various Mao-era songs are on the upswing lately as the 90th anniversary of the party approaches.

Watch here: Red Nostalgia Rising

 

In the clip they referenced a ballet called Red Detachment of Women 红色娘子军 hóng sè niáng zǐ jūn and showed a scene called Happy Female Soldier (Warrior) 快乐的女战士 kuài lè de nǚ zhàn shì.

 

I was bored and decided to track it down.  Here's a link & embed to the clip from Youku. Enjoy!
