The forceful dance movements of the Xibe group reflect the gravity of To Father, while the fluid rhythms of the Tajik group express the warmth of To Mother. Furthermore, the vibrant beats of the Kazak group convey the passionate intensity of To Love.

The overall choreography, woven together by multiple ethnic groups, brings to life the expansive dreams and emotions of the dance.

To prepare, Tong committed to months of rigorous training to meet the physical demands of the intense choreography.

"Once Tong Liya stepped onto the stage, it was as if she had been 'reawakened'," recalls Dong Jie, the chief director of the dance drama.

"The wealth of acting experience she has gained over the years, combined with her life journey, allowed her to capture the emotional essence of her role. On stage, she exuded an electrifying energy that captivated the audience."
