They serve as content supply for grassroots party organizations to carry out "three meetings and one class" and theme party days, and are widely welcomed by the majority of party members, especially party members in emerging fields and young party members.
The opening film of "My Film Party Lesson 2024" is the dance drama film "The Eternal Waves", which was the opening film of the 26th Shanghai International Film Festival in June this year. The story is set on the eve of the liberation of Shanghai. It is based on the true deeds of the martyr Li Bai and vividly reproduces the great journey of the Chinese Communists in pursuing truth and firming their beliefs. Its wonderful performance made the audience deeply feel that magnificent history.

Wang Jiajun and Zhu Jiejing performed a clip from the dance drama film "The Eternal Wave" at the Golden Goblet Gala, the opening ceremony of the Shanghai International Film Festival.
At the launching ceremony, Zhu Yenan, deputy director of the Philosophy Teaching and Research Department of the Municipal Party School, gave a special party class on the theme of "The long river flows silently, only love and faith remain forever", which further deepened the party members' understanding of the spirit conveyed by the film and encouraged the party members to keep their original aspirations in mind and forge ahead.
Zhu Ye Nan started from the prototype of the true story of the martyr Li Bai and expanded it to the great journey of the Chinese Communists in pursuing truth and firming their beliefs. He emphasized Shanghai as the birthplace of the Party, the starting point of its original aspirations, and the breeding ground of the great spirit of Party building, and reviewed Shanghai's development process and achievements.
"The martyr Li Bai died in Shanghai, so his spirit will remain in Shanghai forever." Zhu Yenan believes that "this movie is a vivid teaching material for the ideal and belief education of Communist Party members. The significance of the film party class is to encourage people not only to see the ideals and beliefs of the heroes, but also to continue to move forward under the guidance of this spiritual inheritance."
