Director Tian Qinxin's Drama Passion

Venue: National Centre for the Performing Arts

Tian Han's life is featured by dramatic and prolific achievements. His collected works include 63 dramas, 28 Chinese operas, 12 screenplays, and more than a thousand lyrics, new and classical poems, in which the lyrics of the national anthem of the People's Republic of China is the only one known to the public. A myriad amorous feelings and talents have vanished in the river of history. Tian, like a glittering star in turbulent days, has led people in traversing through the storm of shots and shells. Seventy years later, he dies in the dark. In his final time, the warmest moments of his life slowly pervade in his heart - the mother's tenderness in the childhood, and the first love in the youth ... His roaring life unfolds gently with so many memories.
