China’s first ocean-themed dance drama "The Maritime Silk Road" has hit the stage here in the capital. It features a love story set in the Han Dynasty some 2,000 years ago, at the advent of the ancient maritime silk road.
The drama is based on a folk legend of South China’s Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region.
Dapeng, a local government official was assigned as an ambassador to southeast Asia, just a day after his wedding. Vast seas then separated the loving couple apart. His wife A’ban stood on the shore every day and night, waiting for Dapeng to come home.
Travelling on the maritime silk road, Dapeng reached the various countries of southeast Asia. However, by the time he came back, Dapeng found that his wife had turned into a statue standing by the sea. The grieved husband then prayed and prayed, day and night...Finally his wife came back to life.
