Chinese producer Li Dun's latest musical is inspired by a heart-wrenching television news item he saw two years ago.
The news was about a Chinese student who allegedly stabbed his mother after a quarrel about tuition fees for his overseas study.
"I was shocked. Where is the most basic human conscience? A son stabbed a mother, it's the most horrible thing I've ever heard," he says.
The incident got him thinking about doing something to raise public awareness about love between mother and children.
It gives birth to Mum, Love Me Once Again, a musical scheduled to kick off its national tour on April 21 from Beijing.
