Firdavs and his friends watched an immersive song and dance performance vividly representing the thirteen years China's Red Army worked and lived in Yan'an.

"When I was watching the performance, I felt the Japanese enemies were very bad," Firdavs said.

"After watching the performance, I felt Chinese people were very strong and powerful. They believed that one day they could have peace," he added.

Firdavs said when he returns to Tajikistan he plans to encourage his friends to visit Yan'an to experience Chinese culture.
