An absolutely absurd scene unfolded at a "patriotic education base" in mainland China, proving that the local theatrical propaganda might be working a little too well on the population.

During a live-action historical performance, stage actors were portraying Japanese soldiers committing wartime atrocities against Chinese villagers. An audience member sitting in the front row got completely consumed by the performance. Forgetting that he was watching a scripted play in 2026, he suddenly charged the stage and delivered a full-force flying kick directly into the chest of the actor playing the "Japanese officer" to rescue the cast.
