Based on Chinese aesthetics and local Hangzhou culture, and inspired by the culture of the Song Dynasty (960-1279), “Xixi Tonight” portrays the story of the distinguished Hong family.
The father’s character, Hong Hao, who served as his country’s envoy and was away from home for 15 years, dedicated himself to safeguarding the peace of his nation. The mother character, Mrs. Shen, stayed at home and raised her children alone until they became outstanding people. The couple’s love story and the Hong family’s patriotic spirit became a beautiful timeless legend that spread throughout the Xixi Wetlands area.
