July 29 edit

Classical music from a Chinese commercial edit

Can anyone identify the music starting from 0:13 (https://v.qq.com/x/page/f0379u1puap.html)? It sounds like from a classical composer. --2001:16B8:318B:D200:C997:CB1E:842C:80E3 (talk) 01:51, 29 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

That won't play on my PC. It wants to do some sort of "upgrade" - in Chinese, yet. No thank you. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 03:02, 29 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
It's Felix Mendelssohn's "On Wings of Song". -- Jack of Oz [pleasantries] 07:17, 29 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Red Guardian speaks about Dreykov:

Red Guardian: Then puts me in prison for the rest of my life. Why, huh? Why? Why would he put me in...You know why? 'Cause maybe I want to talk about the withering of the state.

What does "withering of the state" mean? Rizosome (talk) 08:14, 29 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I haven't seen the movie yet, but the name "Red Guardian" suggests that he means the withering away of the state. Clarityfiend (talk) 09:08, 29 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
