Concert to honor 1911 Revolution

THE Ministry of Culture yesterday kicked off a year-long tour performance of a concert as part of its celebrations to mark the 90th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China and the centenary anniversary of the 1911 Revolution.

The one-and-a-half-hour performance, adapted from the five-act, two-and-a-half-hour Chinese musical epic "Road to Revival," will be showed in 28 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions across the country.

"Road to Revival" traces the country's history from the Opium Wars, to major wartime battles, the founding and building of New China, rescue missions during the 1998 flood and the Wenchuan earthquake in 2008.

The original stage drama debuted on September 20, 2009 in the Great Hall of the People in Beijing.

The 1911 Revolution overthrew the Qing Dynasty, the last monarchy in China.
