She devotes herself to creation, always singing for the people and the times; she advocates virtue and art, and is inspired to be a seeker and communicator of truth, goodness and beauty; she is committed to innovation and brilliantly performing Chinese stories on the stage.
Tian Qinxin is the president of the National Theatre of China and a first-class director. A series of excellent works such as the dramas "The Field of Life and Death", "Wild Ride", "Four Generations Together", "Beijing Fayuan Temple", "Live Broadcast of the Founding Ceremony" and opera "Long March" and "Poverty Alleviation Road" have been loved by the audience and have produced good social repercussions.
Not long ago, Tian Qinxin won the honorary title of "National Young and Middle-Aged Literary and Art Workers". This heavy honor gave her more missions and responsibilities: "Practicing a superb artistic level is not an overnight achievement, it requires concentration, hard work, and long-term achievement." Only by blending morality and talent and unifying character and art can we shoulder the responsibility of becoming a weathered person in socialist literature and art in the new era. ”
Engaged in art work for more than 20 years, Tian Qinxin has always required himself not to be afraid of hardship, work hard, overcome difficulties, and innovate promisingly.
Last year, Tian Qinxin served as the deputy director of the theatrical performance "The Great Journey" celebrating the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China. During a rehearsal, he accidentally injured his ankle and fractured three times, and surgically implanted a steel plate and twelve steel nails. In order to complete the performance task, only two weeks after the operation, she returned to the rehearsal site in a wheelchair despite her injuries and threw herself into intense work.

"I've never spared any effort in rehearsals, and it's common to stay up late. In fact, it is very tiring, but to make a good work, I always feel that there is not enough time. Tian Qinxin said frankly that in the past three years, she has never taken annual leave, only to dedicate more high-quality theatrical works with "profound thinking, exquisite art and excellent production" to the people.
In order to create the national opera "Poverty Alleviation Road", Tian Qinxin went deep into the fields where Huang Wenxiu, the first secretary of Baixiao Village in Leye County, Guangxi, once worked, visited the people around her, listened to the villagers tearfully tell her story, and repeatedly studied the "Diary of the Village" she wrote...
These feelings, which originated from reality, became the strongest spiritual strength and the deepest emotional connotation of Tian Qinxin's creation of this opera: "Only by integrating thoughts and emotions with the people can we cultivate ourselves and sing songs for the times and the people." ”

Tian Qinxin believes that in order to become an artist with both virtue and art, he must cultivate himself and be virtuous, have the courage to act in the great era, and act well and have achievements with the momentum of grand righteousness.
Today, in addition to being a director, Tian Qinxin also shoulders the responsibility of the director of the National Theatre of China. The change of roles has also brought new thinking: in addition to being a good example of being a person from the arts, what kind of contribution should we make to expressing China, expressing the Chinese people, and expressing the spiritual world of the Chinese people?
In recent years, Tian Qinxin has led the National Theatre of China to participate in the creation of a number of blockbuster programs such as "China in the Classics" and "China in the Story", which has won praise from the audience and handed over a beautiful answer sheet for his thinking - striving to keep the integrity of traditional culture, the new expression of the creative era, and the "living" of the splendid Chinese civilization of 5,000 years in the flow of the times.
"Chinese culture is broad and profound, the theater tradition has a long history, whether it is a realistic theme or a historical theme, it is necessary to continue the Chinese cultural tradition, frame a good story, and do a good job of Chinese expression." Tian Qinxin believes that in today's era of science and technology, drama also needs strong technical support. At present, the National Theatre of China is preparing to build a line of staged broadcasts and digital intelligent theaters, hoping to meet the public's sense of gain and happiness in online appreciation of literature and art with more abundant emerging formats.
"I am well aware that in artistic creation, praising the great spirit of the times, carrying forward the excellent traditional Chinese culture, preserving righteousness for history, promoting virtue for the world, and leaving a clear name for ourselves are the code of conduct of literary and art workers, and it is also our position and feelings." Tian Qinxin said that she will take the admiration of virtue and art as the basis for self-requirements and the goal of lifelong efforts.
