Ma Lan Hua is a classic stage show for Chinese children. It's about a magic flower that helps those who are brave. Now, an animated version is ready to open in late June, and the theme song has been released in Beijing.
The star-studded line-up featured singers Kenji Wu, Valen Hsu, and Wen Lan. To a chorus of children's voices, they performed the two theme songs, "Love is Power" and "The Other Half".
They then prayed for a better future for the world and for all children.
As a classic children's show, Ma Lan Hua has enjoyed enduring popularity for some fifty years. The animated movie will be released on June the 19th.
The big screen version retains the original storyline and its promotion of values like industry, courage, tolerance, and fortitude.
The entertainers joined the children in expressing their hopes for the movie's success.
They also hope the story will inspire today's audiences as it has for half a century.
