There were only about 10 or 20 cinemas in Changsha in the 1970s and 1980s. As a movie fan, I spent a lot of my spare time in these cinemas. At that time, the price of movie tickets was generally between a dime and a triangle, and our pocket money was still affordable.

Dongfeng Theater, My Spiritual Paradise

The nearest cinema to my home is Dongfeng Theatre. At that time, the Dongfeng Theater was still very magnificent. It had two gates, the east gate and the south gate. On the eaves of the south gate stood four big red signs of the Dongfeng Theater. From the two gates, they climbed a few low steps and each had a small hall for everyone to rest when waiting for the movie.

There are so many movies I have seen in Dongfeng Theatre that I can’t remember them clearly. I remember one year when the martial arts film Wu Linzhi was released, it was hard to get a ticket. I was still in junior high school and wanted to see it very much. I had to wait at the door with 23 cents to see if there was a refund. The weather was bad that day, and it was windy and rainy. Poor me, I was too small to touch the edge. Another time, one night when I was in senior three, a martial arts film "Heroes Out of Teenagers Since Ancient Times" was being shown here. I don’t know if more than a dozen students in our class ate Xiong Xin leopard gall or something, but they all went to the movies together. The film was still on, only to hear "the teacher is coming".
We were so scared that we all got under the seats one by one.

Dongfeng Theater, later changed to Dongfeng Film and Television City, has now become Mango Studios. It is one of the few places in Changsha that has been preserved since the 1970s and 1980s and has been used as a cinema.

Silver Palace Cinema was once the most advanced cinema in Changsha.

The Yingong Cinema on Zhongshan Road is also a cinema that we often visit. It is located next to the old Zhongshan Department Store, and its yard is the auditorium attached to the China Goods Exhibition Hall built in 1931. It was originally named Yingong Cinema, and famous Peking Opera artists Mei Lanfang and Ma Lianliang all performed here. In March l935, it was transformed into a cinema with the best screening facilities in the province. After 1951, it was renamed "Xinhua Cinema", and in 1988, it was transformed into the first 70 mm stereo cinema in the province, and the original name of "Silver Palace" was restored. Yingong Cinema has many first titles of Changsha movies: it is the first cinema in Changsha to fully play audio movies, the first one to play color movies and the first one to play stereo movies.

During the period when the Silver Palace was also called Xinhua Cinema, the courtyard was divided into two floors, and there were two rotating stairs for going up and down the stairs on the left and right sides of the lobby on the first floor. At that time, the cushion of the seat was movable, one side was leather, which could be turned over in summer, and the other side was bamboo, which made it cool to sit. After 1988, a stepped chair with high back and soft seats, an 18-meter-wide huge screen and a high-fidelity stereo were built here, which made people feel immersive when watching movies.

I have seen many movies here, such as Aurelian, Walter Defending Sarajevo, Escape from Danger, Break Dance, True Lies, Titanic and so on. I was still in primary school when I watched Aurelian. It was the first time that I went to the cinema alone.

From the Silver Palace to the west for a hundred meters, across the road is the Red Theater, which was built in 1957. Before the Cultural Revolution, the Red Theater only acted, but didn’t show movies. It didn’t start to show movies and play dramas until the 1970s. Besides many movies, we have seen many performances here. Although "red" is still there, there is no film showing.

Further west from the "red" is Changsha Youth Palace, which was opened to the public in 1958 and also has a cinema. I remember that in the 1980s and 1990s, there were not only movies here, but also the main place for the convention in Changsha. Especially on Children’s Day on June 1st every year, there will be a commendation meeting for outstanding miyoshi students in the city. In November 2013, Changsha Youth Palace officially started the demolition and reconstruction project, and the old Youth Palace cinema ceased to exist.

Liaoyuan Cinema, the earliest cinema in Changsha.

Coming out of the Youth Palace and passing the Zhongshan Pavilion, there was a prairie fire cinema at the intersection of Jixiang Street and Chunfeng Street on the most prosperous Huangxing Road at that time. Before liberation, it was the Changsha YMCA, so it was called the Youth Cinema. The Youth Cinema opened in 1914, which is the first cinema in Changsha. It uses the church as a projection hall, mainly to show religious films, as well as feature films, such as "Jewelry Case". During the Cultural Revolution, the Youth Cinema was changed to the Liaoyuan Cinema, which was divided into two venues, an indoor cinema and an open-air cinema. The open-air cinema was once transformed into a ballroom and a foot-washing city, and it became a famous Dragon City Entertainment City, which was once famous for a while, and then it was transformed into a wholesale market. Indoor cinemas are now rented rooms.

Hunan Theater, once the best theater in Hunan.

There used to be a famous "Hunan Theater" in the southwest corner of Wuyi Square, which is now the location of Jinjiang East.
Its predecessor was Lianhua outdoor cinema in Yichang Street, Changsha in the 1940s. In 1947, the Sixth Anti-Japanese Theater Team, known as the "literary light cavalry" in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, moved from Wuhan to Changsha, where it joined the Fourth Theater Team, which had arrived in Changsha earlier, and built the Lianhua Theater. In 1954, Wuyi Road was built in Changsha, Lianhua Theatre was demolished and Hunan Theatre was built.

Hunan Theater was the best theater in Hunan at that time. The seats were cowhide, the decoration of the audience hall was antique, and there was a blower to extract the cold air from the basement to cool down. In addition to showing movies, there are often first-class performances at that time, such as symphony concerts, ballet, acrobatics and magic, Beijing opera and so on. After the completion of Hunan Theatre, the first foreign performing group was the Soviet art delegation. In 1956, Mei Lanfang came to Changsha to perform in Hunan Theatre.

At the beginning of the 21st century, Changsha expanded Wuyi Road and demolished Hunan Theater.

Those old cinemas in Changsha that dissipated with the wind

In the 1980s and 1990s, cinemas in Changsha were mostly concentrated in core blocks such as Zhongshan Road, Wuyi Road and Huangxing Road. At the beginning of the 21st century, with the large-scale urban construction, a large number of old cinemas have closed down, changed jobs or been demolished, and gradually disappeared in the depths of time.

The popular cinema is the location of Bandai Square now. Before liberation, it was called Guotai Cinema, which was converted into a popular amusement park in the 1950s, and only in the early 1960s was it converted into a popular cinema. "Volkswagen" was in the northwest corner of the most lively Wuyi Square in Changsha at that time. After watching the movie, it was a pleasant and fashionable pleasure for Changsha people to order a pot dumpling at Xiangqun, a milk bread at the milk shop and an iced sour plum soup at Hongmei.

Opposite to the popular cinema, that is, the southeast corner of Wuyi Square, there used to be a silver star cinema built before liberation, which was demolished in 1996 due to the construction of Pinghetang commercial building.

Jiefang Road, where there used to be a Jiefang Cinema and Changsha Theater, has disappeared. In Pozi Street, there used to be a Xiangjiang Theater diagonally opposite to the Fire Palace, and later it became a place for theatrical performances in Changsha and even Hunan, known as "Xiwozi", and now it has become one of the performance venues of Laughter Factory.

There is also a cultural cinema next to the headquarters of Changjun Middle School, and there are also famous time-honored Shuang Yan Wonton Restaurant, Guofeng and Nanbeite grocery stores nearby. There is also a branch of the Cultural Cinema, which is not far away, just on the Bixiang street corner of Shuyuan Road. It is a rented club venue of the Provincial Metallurgical Bureau.

Now there used to be a construction workers’ club next to the mobile phone market in Baonan Street, which used to be the location of Hunan Mud Carpenter Club. In 1956, it was transformed into a construction workers’ club, and in 1986 it was renamed the construction workers’ cultural palace. In 2017, it was completely demolished due to urban transformation.

There is also a cinema next to the west gate of Martyrs Park on Dongfeng Road, which has been demolished and turned into many hotels. I have also seen many movies here, among which the most impressive one is "Eternal Life in Fire" organized by the school in primary school.

There are also the seamen’s club cinema on the edge of Xiangjiang River on Wuyi Road, a cinema in the northeast corner of Wujialing Bronn overpass, the workers’ club in the northern suburbs of Simaochong, a small cinema in Xiaoxiang Film Studio, the old workers’ cultural palace cinema on Xiangchun Road and the Red Flag Theatre opposite Yali Middle School, which have also disappeared in the years.

Although some cinemas exist as architectural forms, they have also become eclipsed in today’s bizarre and fantastic cinema world. For example, the Workers’ Cultural Palace in Dong Tang, the Construction Cinema opposite the Second Xiangya Hospital on Renmin Road, and the Railway Workers’ Cultural Palace on May 1st Road.

Time flies like electricity, the years that can’t be seen clearly, and the past that can’t be erased are like a gust of wind. But those youthful and beautiful memories will always be treasured in my heart and will never disappear.

Special topic: the incident of smashing, looting and burning in Lhasa, Tibet

　　　　The picture (information picture) circulated by the rumor

　　　　Xinhuanet Beijing, April 3 rd The Global Times published an article entitled "Out-of-date photos have been moved to Mudaransala as a rumor center, and Dalai wants to deceive the world" on the 3 rd. The article reads as follows:

　　　　The Dalai Lama, who is eager to attack the central government, has revealed new flaws this time. Some netizens pointed out that the photo that the Dalai Lama used to falsely claim that soldiers were "pretending to be monks" was taken at least earlier than 2003. It was also verified that the armed police in the photo were holding monks’ costumes because they were attending a local cultural performance. The Dalai Lama falsely claimed that soldiers wore robes and pretended to be beating, smashing, looting and burning. Over the years, the Dalai Lama didn’t know how many rumors he had made, but the western media who liked to break the news never took the initiative to expose him. They cooperated with each other and made up the big lie that "Tibet is an independent country under the occupation of China". Now, it’s time to let these lies see the sun.

　　　　An obvious fake photo

　　　　The Dalai Lama’s rumors are full of flaws and have become a laughing stock. On the morning of March 29th, local time, the Dalai Lama told reporters after holding a ceremony at Gandhi’s Tomb in New Delhi that China disguised soldiers as lamas to create the impression that Tibetans incited riots. The Dalai clique’s website "Voice of a Free Tibet in Norway" published this news on the 29th, which said, "The Dalai Lama hinted that China itself may be supporting the violence, because he said,’ We heard that hundreds of China soldiers got monks’ clothes. They dressed up as monks. So to others, they look like monks. " "

　　　　According to the investigation, a photo of dozens of armed police holding monks’ costumes appeared on the Internet recently, which is the so-called "basis" for Dalai to falsely claim that soldiers "pretend to be monks". Because the age of the clothing is different from the present, after 2005, the armed police clothing has armbands, but the armed police in the photo does not; The wearing season is also different from now, and the dress in the photo is summer clothes. This photo was taken in the past when the army borrowed monks’ clothes and places for cultural performances.

　　　　网上已有许多网民用跟帖对这张照片表示质疑。还有网民查出，这张照片是２００３年在境外“藏独”组织的“西藏人权与民主中心”用过的。网民们斥责“藏独陷害武警”。

　　　　很显然，这张照片是移花接木肆意歪曲的：

　　　　一、着装的年代不符。武警部队自２００５年１月１日起，全体官兵统一佩戴胸标和臂章，而照片上武警士兵的着装既无胸标，也无臂章，该照片显然是２００５年１月１日之前所拍。自２００６年５月１日始，武警部队战士统一换着０５式服装，其服装材质由布料改为仿毛面料，挺括舒展，而照片上显示武警战士穿着的是８７式布料服装。显然，照片上反映的服装与部队现行着装不是一个年代。

　　　　二、着装的季节不符。３月初的西藏，天气依然寒冷，气温在零下，武警部队均着冬装，市民同样也穿着冬服；而照片上武警战士穿着８７式夏常服，市民穿着也比较单薄，显然是藏区５月份后的季节。

　　　　Some western media, such as Oakland News in the United States and West German Daily in Germany, spread this obvious rumor at will. While reporting the Dalai Lama’s rumors, the German Star Weekly also distributed the so-called "basis" picture.

　　　　Netizens angrily denounced Dalai.

　　　　When the truth was published online, many netizens in China immediately condemned the Dalai clique. "Damn" and "Angry! ！” "Too low technical content" is the first reaction of netizens. Some netizens sarcastically said: "The Dalai Lama is really talented. Is the Armed Police Force openly developing monk’s clothes on the street for fraud? Also invited the crowd to watch? ….. even if you want to make a fake, do you still have to take pictures as a souvenir? " Some netizens calmly analyzed and said: "It is necessary to expose the distorted reports of the western media. (Dalai) is trying to avoid launching" 3? 14 Tibet smashing, smashing, looting and burning incident. And there is a lot of evidence that this is another low-level smear that Dalai can’t stand scrutiny. " More netizens are angry. Some netizens left a message: "This photo used by the Dalai clique to slander’ China soldiers posing as lamas to stir up riots’ will not have any effect, but the photo itself will become ironclad evidence to expose the Dalai clique’s fear that Tibet will not be chaotic!" Some netizens wrote: "Such a stupid lie can be made, which shows how far the Dalai Lama and some western forces have come to split China, encouraged by some western forces!"

　　　　"Really can’t fake, really can’t fake. The people’s eyes are discerning. " Maybe Dalai should read this netizen’s message.
