Chinese President Hu Jintao and other top leaders watched a large-scale musical epic on Monday recounting the country's road from the Opium War in 1840 to 2009, together with people from all walks of life in Beijing.

The nearly three-hour musical "Road to Revival", in dedication to the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China (PRC), was staged at the Great Hall of the People.

Dancers and singers recounted important episodes in modern and contemporary Chinese history.

The musical highlighted the tremendous changes that have taken place since the founding of the PRC under the leadership of the Communist Party of China.

All members of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and former President Jiang Zemin watched the performance.
