Description
At the turn of the twentieth century, students returning from abroad introduced Beethoven to China.
The composer's perseverance in the face of adversity and his musical genius resonated in a nation searching for a way forward.
Beethoven remained a durable part of Chinese life in the decades that followed, becoming an icon to intellectuals, music fans and party cadres alike, playing a role in major historical events from the May Fourth Movement to the normalisation of US-China relations.
Jindong Cai, whose love for the musician began during the Cultural Revolution, and culture journalist Sheila Melvin tell the compelling story of Beethoven and the Chinese people.
