Bronze statue of Xian Xinghai

The Bronze statue of Xian Xinghai in Macau, China is a tribute to a famed son of the soil. Built to commemorate the birth anniversary of Xian Xinghai, the poet laureate of Macau, the statue epitomizes the profound memory of a great personality.

The bronze statue of Xian Xinghai in Macau is positioned at the intersection of Avenida Xian Xing Hai and Rua de Berlim streets. Macau commemorates the centenary of the birth of a Chinese musician by setting up a statue for him. The three metres high statue is put in front of the Macau Cultural Centre. The image of Xian Xing Hai composing the song "Cantata to Yellow River" is portrayed on the bronze figure. Xian Xing Hai was a native of Macau born on 16 June 1905. He got his education in Singapore at tender age and went to college at Guangzhou working simultaneously. He studied music in Paris and returned to China in 1935. At the age of 40, he died in Moscow.

Throughout China Xian Xinghai is respected as the people's musician. He was regarded by many without doubt as the herald of modern Chinese melody. This inexhaustible musician composed countless startling agitato pieces. Among his works Yellow River Cantata is the most famous. His daring and vigorous Yellow River Cantata is a prolific expression of the unyielding and obstinate spirit of the Chinese to preserve the homeland. Till his death, Xian Xing Hai composed more than 200 songs expressing the patriotic spirit and motivating the people to fight the Japanese invasion in 1937.
