Yibin City, Sichuan Province is the route of the Long March of the Central Red Army and the main activity place of the guerrilla column in southern Sichuan. The story of the guerrilla column in southern Sichuan is rarely mentioned in China’s military history and military film and television works, and the film "Alone Army" fills the image gap in this history. This is the first time that the heroic epic of the guerrilla column in southern Sichuan of the Chinese Workers and Peasants Red Army has been put on the screen, showing the heroic years of the guerrilla column in southern Sichuan of the Red Army in Yibin in the form of movies. This film will be released nationwide on December 28th, 2023.
Chen Liangyun, secretary of Xingwen County Committee of the Communist Party of China, said in his speech that the preparation of "Alone Army" is a useful exploration for us to undertake the cultural mission and write a new chapter in the integration and development of red literature and tourism, and it is also a vivid practice of adhering to "Do not forget your initiative mind, bearing in mind the mission". In recent years, Xingwen County has vigorously implemented the strategy of "traveling to rich counties", taking the inheritance of red history and culture as an important carrier to strengthen cultural self-confidence and forge ahead, and built the Long March National Cultural Park (Xingwen Park), Xingwen Party History Museum and other projects with high standards.

Xiao Tao, the funder of the film Lonely Army and the chairman of Xingwen County Wenlv Development and Investment Group, said that the film Lonely Army explores the source pedigree of heroic blood with vivid characters, stories and details, and explores the spiritual code of the people’s army to defeat the enemy, which is a true record of "the persistence of a lonely army, a tragic history and a heroic epic". I hope that through the film "Alone", the broad masses of the people will be inspired and encouraged to continue their struggle in the new era and make unremitting efforts to realize the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. In the future, with the guidance and support of leaders at all levels and industry authorities, Xingwen Travel Group will continue to promote the deep integration of red culture and tourism, tell red stories well, inherit red culture, and promote the high-quality development of red tourism.
The film is directed by the creative team of the excellent film The Believer, written by Liu Jianwei, the original director of Bayi Film Studio, a famous writer, playwright and winner of Mao Dun Literature Award, the winner of Publicity Department of the Communist Party of China’s "Five One Project Award" and China Watch Award, the directors of Believers, Liu Laozhuang’s Eighty-two Brave Man, Three Bay Adaptation and other films, directed by yang hu, the first-class director of Bayi Film Studio, and Liu Zhihuan, the former deputy director of Bayi Film Studio.
Yibin is a tourist resort that inherits the red genes and continues the red veins. Especially during the Anti-Japanese War, together with Chongqing, Chengdu and Kunming, it was called "China’s Four Cultural Centers of Anti-Japanese War" and made outstanding contributions to the final victory of War of Resistance against Japan. When the precious memories hidden in the depths of history re-bloomed after a hundred years, the audience at Yibin’s movie scene expressed great emotion.
John young, a commentator from Yibin Zhao Yiman Memorial Hall, said that Yibin has rich and colorful red tourism resources, and my job is to tell the story of heroes every day. In the past, I felt that this person was stuck in the target, in the textbook and in the explanation, but after watching the movie today, these people came alive. For me, I will integrate my personal feelings, including the actor’s interpretation of the characters in this film, into my future work, because only three-dimensional characters will be touching. Thank you teachers for bringing the hero back to life through the interpretation of images.
Xiang Lin, member of the Party Committee and deputy general manager of Yibin Wenguang Media Group Co., Ltd. said: "The company is honored to be one of the co-producers of the film Lonely Army. Lonely Army is an effective carrier to inherit the red gene, continue the red blood and carry forward the revolutionary spirit, and will also promote the protection and development of Yibin’s red culture."
In recent years, Yibin insists on the protection and inheritance of red culture as the goal, promotes the planning of the Long March National Cultural Park (Yibin Section) with high quality, comprehensively repairs revolutionary history museums, memorial halls and exhibition halls, newly builds the open city cultural center, the city museum and the Lizhuang Cultural Anti-Japanese War Museum, builds six classic red tourist scenic spots such as Zhao Yiman Memorial Hall and Shuoxun’s hometown, creates a number of literary and artistic masterpieces such as the drama Zhao Yiman, and launches the "Search for Heroes’ Footprints".
