Drama honoring military archivist staged in Beijing

 　　BEIJING, June 26 (Xinhua) -- A drama honoring an archivist who had devoted¹ himself to the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA)'s archive work was staged Saturday evening in Beijing.

　　The drama, "Sheng Ming Dang An," or "Archives of Life," tells the life story of Liu Yiquan who had worked as a file clerk and later a consultant² at the PLA Archives for about 38 years.

　　Liu had collected more than 830,000 pieces of military archives, which was regarded as a special contribution to the army.

　　Despite being diagnosed with terminal cancer in 2008, Liu continued to work hard. He died on Jan. 28, 2010, at the age of 59.

　　Li Changchun, a Standing³ Committee member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, joined the audience of the drama on Saturday.

　　Li later said the drama was touching⁴ and significant in reflecting the model role of CPC members ahead of the 90th founding anniversary of the CPC.

　　Liu Yiquan was also honored by the U.S. military authorities for his role in helping⁵ identify some key documents that led to the repatriation⁶ of the remains⁷ of the United States personnel who disappeared during and after the Korea War (1950-1953).(本文由在线英语听力室整理编辑)
