Overview

As a symbol of life and a medium of emotion, "flower" adds a magnificent and fantastic romantic color to this work that expresses real life. "People Live Among Flowers" not only shows the life of ordinary people's homes, but also a painting. The spiritual picture of lasting love and cherishing it.

The work displays a large number of secular customs with Lingnan elements, laying out the relationship between people and "city", life and "flowers", using artistic imagination, mobilizing all possible stage means, and combining reality and unreality The technique presents the smoke of fireworks in the arcade flower shop and the sense of fantasy in dreams and fantasy.
 
Feng Shuangbai, artistic consultant of this drama and chairman of the Chinese Dancers Association, said when talking about his expectations for the future of "Living Among Flowers": "I hope this work can make people feel the deep love between mother and child, and also feel the 'flowers'." 'It is the most romantic, freest and warmest soul in the city of Guangzhou."
 
Synopsis
Guangzhou has long summers and warm winters, and flowers bloom all year round. It has been known as the "Flower City" since ancient times. Guangzhou people have been planting, admiring, loving and giving flowers for more than 2,000 years. Flowers are a cultural gene flowing in the blood of Lingnan people, and they are also a way of life and aesthetics.
 
This drama is based on flowers and love, and follows the prosperity and decline of flowers through the river of a mother's memory. In an ordinary flower shop under the arcade in Guangzhou, a mother and her son, who are bound to flowers, gradually become estranged as time goes by. My mother suffers from Alzheimer's disease, traveling between hallucinations and reality, struggling between forgetting and remembering. Hundreds of flowers explain the words, and the son walks into the mother's heart. Flowers become the beacon of the soul, leading the re-blooming of love and life.

Guangzhou Opera House is a Chinese opera house in Guangzhou, Guangdong province, People's Republic of China. Designed by Zaha Hadid, it opened on the 9th of May in 2010.

In April 2002 an international architectural competition attracted Coop Himmelb(l)au, Rem Koolhaas and Zaha Hadid – each producing detailed designs. In November 2002, Zaha Hadid's "double pebble" was announced the winner and the groundbreaking ceremony was held early in 2005.

The theatre has become the biggest performing centre in southern China and is one of the three biggest theatres in the nation alongside Beijing's National Centre for the Performing Arts and Shanghai's Shanghai Grand Theatre. May 2010 saw American filmmaker Shahar Stroh direct the premiere production of the opera house: Puccini's opera Turandot which had in previous years been a controversial opera in China.

The structure was designed by Iraqi architect Zaha Hadid. It is conceived as two rocks washed away by the Pearl River. Its freestanding concrete auditorium set within an exposed granite and glass-clad steel frame took over five years to build, and was praised upon opening by architectural critic Jonathan Glancey in The Guardian, who called it "at once highly theatrical and insistently subtle."
