The Shanghai Puppet Theater gave a patriotism-themed puppet show at Nanxiang town, Jiading district of Shanghai, on Oct 7.
The show told the story of a young Red Army soldier who died in a fight against enemies while collecting and protecting chilies that help the Red Army keep warm when they climb in mountain snow. It attracted over 300 kids and parents.

According to a troupe manager, the puppets in the show were manipulated by bigger than regular wooden rods, which helped present a more vivid and attractive story.
A mom said that the show was an opportunity for patriotic education for both her and her five-year-old daughter.
