On the afternoon of December 15, the dance drama "Xian Xinghai" rehearsed the scene.
Today (December 16th) evening, the original contemporary dance drama "Xian Xinghai", jointly produced by the National Centre for the Performing Arts and Ningbo Performing Arts Group, made a shocking debut. With a life of thorns and thorns, a beautiful and melodious melody, and a stage presentation with a very modern aesthetic, the dance drama "Xian Xinghai" successfully stands on the stage with extraordinary artistic appeal, bringing the heroes of the Communist Party members who have forgotten their dedication and always maintained their original intentions on the stage, leading the audience to appreciate Xian Xinghai's powerful and tenacious spiritual world and relive the feelings of home and country under the glory years.
For the first time, the image of the "people's musician" is an innovation and a challenge to use contemporary dance dramas. In order to show Xian Xinghai's bumpy and magnificent life in an all-round way, chief director Xiao Xiangrong, screenwriter Xu Rui, composer Guo Sida and other main creators chose to present xian xinghai's life from the inner perspective of Xian Xinghai's dying life, so that the audience not only understands the "Yellow River Chorus" with the innovative "musical symphonic narrative" structure, highly imagery expression techniques, classical and modern melodies weaving together, and modern styles that conform to the aesthetics of contemporary audiences. The creative story behind it is a more comprehensive and three-dimensional re-understanding of a "people's artist" with flesh and blood and firm faith.

"The sea", "torrent", "homeland", "stars"... The huge installation hanging above the stage is the hour hand of life, and the baton in the hands of musicians means an immortal monument. The hour hand and the human wall rotate clockwise, and Xian Xinghai is still creating at the last moment of his life. The hour hand turned toward zero, and Xian Xinghai's life also came to an end. Although life is far away, faith is eternal, a red sun is rising, and the masses are moving firmly toward hope.
