Shanghai playwright Qu Xinhua dramatizes the life of Wang Xin, the composer of the music and lyrics to “Ode to the Motherland,” and his wife Wang Huifeng in this historical drama presented at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium. Performed entirely in Chinese, Ode to the Motherland brings Xin’s creative process to life as it depicts the songwriter’s motivation and inspiration for creating the beloved work as well as its influence on Chinese people around the globe.
