Fu Xiaoxiao teased the young couple and was then attracted by the performing arts troupe rehearsing.
Wang Lu smiled and introduced them.
"Sister-in-law, this is the third program, 'Red Detachment of Women'."

Their uniforms were starched straight, short hair cut neatly under wide-brimmed hats, and their canteens swayed lightly at their waists with each leap, the metal clasps producing fine, crisp sounds.
Powder dusted their faces, but their cheeks blushed naturally from long rehearsals.
"They look really beautiful." Lin Qiu looked at the radiant female soldiers, feeling a bit inferior.
