An Ode to Life
An Ode To Life (Chinese: 三十风雨路) is a 40-episode blockbuster Chinese drama aired in Singapore. It was telecast in August 2004. The show is set in the 1970s and goes through history all the way to the modern days of 2000s. The drama achieved the highest viewership rate in Year 2004 (17%) despite being broadcast at the 7pm slot (which is generally perceived to have lower viewership figures), defeating other popular dramas in the same year such as Spice Siblings, Double Happiness and A Child's Hope 2.
The show mainly revolves around the lead character, Ah Zhi (played by Huang Biren) who plays a long suffering woman being constantly looked down on by her husband's family due to her poor family background. She later saves the company from bankruptcy and reunites the Zhang family despite the many difficulties she faces.
The challenging role of Ah Zhi is seen as a "tailor-made" role for Huang Bi Ren.[1]
This drama was aired on China's largest broadcast network CCTV-8 in September 2009 and garnered a largely favorable reception from the Mainland audience. [2]
