Xian Xinghai was born into a poor family in Macau, China, in 1905. Since Xian's father died before he was born, the poor boy drifted (漂流) from place to place with his mother. When Xian was six years old, he met a teacher who appreciated his musical talent in Singapore. In 1918, the 13-year-old boy was sent to Guangzhou to learn the violin. In middle school, Xian sold books, paper, and other things for two hours a day. He also spent much time working in the Lingnan Bank band to make a living.
With his talent and passion, Xian later enrolled (入学) at Peking University in 1926. Then, in 1928, he went to Shanghai to further his studies. Later, he went to Paris to study composition in 1929. During his stay in Paris, he composed Wind, Song of a Wanderer, Violin Sonata in D Minor, and other works.
Later, he came to Yan'an. It was in Yan'an that Xian achieved the peak of his artistic creation. Xian's most representative work was the Yellow River Cantata, which was composed in 1939. It was a patriotic (爱国的) work that inspired thousands of Chinese during that special period. In 1940, Xian went to Moscow to work. After World War Ⅱ, he returned to Moscow to treat his illness in 1945. He died of illness in October 1945 in a hospital near the Moscow Kremlin at the age of 40.
