How do mountains shape history – and keep its stories alive?

In Guizhou, the towering peaks of Zhijin Grand Canyon reveal a landscape shaped over millions of years. Ninety years ago, the Red Army crossed these rugged mountains during the Long March, facing formidable natural challenges. Today, in Anshun, masked Dixi opera performers bring tales of legendary heroes to life. Dixi Opera is an important part of Tunpu culture dating back to the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644). The stories of courage continue to be passed down through the generations.
