Synopsis: Shalom Shanghai (《苏州河北》) is an original bilingual musical drama set in Shanghai during World War II, portraying the lives of Jewish refugees and local Chinese citizens. At its heart is a love story between Shana, a Jewish woman, and Song Yao, a Chinese resistance fighter, complicated by a Japanese officer’s courtship. The drama explores cross-cultural encounters, moral dilemmas, and survival amid historical turbulence, integrating period-specific Jewish, Hollywood, and Chinese music, with live performances of all songs.
