Audiences will follow the cast to different locations in and around the memorial. Webcasts of the show will be hosted as well.
An exhibition paying tribute to heroic figures such as journalist and publisher Zou Taofen (1895-1944) and Chinese writer Rou Shi (1902-1931) kicked off at Xujiahui Metro Station on Monday morning.
The exhibition is designed by the memorial and features a display of artworks, historic photos, artifacts and audio and video content.
