VOICED: Chongqing, home of China's 'red' revival

The video explores the revival of revolutionary red songs in Chongqing, China, as part of a propaganda drive led by Communist Party chief Bo Xilai. The initiative aims to mobilize citizens, including factory workers and retirees, to sing patriotic songs, with competitions organized to promote revolutionary ideals. While the older generation embraces this movement, the younger generation shows less interest. The campaign is seen as a strategy to gain political support ahead of leadership changes, appealing to those who feel marginalized in China's market economy.
