National identity can be defined as a construction imagined through discourse and ritual (Alane and Charles, 2008; Barker, 1999). It is both politically and culturally formed (Alane and Charles, 2008), which gives people a sense of belonging to their nation states (Duncan, 2003). This essay will explore how the radio program evokes a sense of national identity in its listeners, through the example of “Little Souna (In pinyin: suȒnà o lăbā)”. It is a children's radio program aimed at children aged 5 to 7 (Personal research, X, 2012; table in the appendix), which contains stories, poems, songs, theatrical broadcasts and interactions. The reason for choosing this program is linked to some research, according to which 5-year-old children have started talking about their national belonging (Barrett, 2000). In this case, analyzes of the contributory role of “Little Souna” in nurturing children's initial sense of national identity may make sense. There are three main parts of the analysis on the “Piccola Souna” in the following essay: the first part concerns linguistics, where the function of language, sound and words will be examined; the second part is related to traditional culture such as traditional music, traditional literature and traditional morality; the third part is a case study of the Yushu earthquake, which also shows the power of the radio program in strengthening children's sense of national identity. For starters, “Little Souna” harnesses linguistic power to implant national consciousness in its listeners.
