Moving onto Chapter Two, "Converging Rivers: Great Struggle," Chongqing Liangjiang Art Troupe and Chongqing Sanxia Song and Dance Troupe presented the audience with one another great shows that captivated the attention of all living things.

First onstage was a situation dance drama titled "Chuanjiang Work Song," which took on the hard-working spirit of barge haulers and Chongqing locals.

The grand show eventually concluded with a song and dance performance titled "My Motherland," which encouraged many in the audience seats to sing along. And the appearance of 1,000 or so UAV drones above the performance stage and over the sky of Wanzhou's Nanbin Road also caught people by surprise.

The drones flew in various colors and formations, which resulted in the miraculous changes of patterns and messages in the night sky. "It's truly a breathtaking light show miracle in front of the naked eyes," remarked one audience after filming the drone swarm show with his cellphone.
