Xian Xinghai has created more than 250 pieces, including cantatas, opera, symphonies, suites for orchestral music, rhapsody, many solos and ensembles for violin and piano. In his works, he deeply reflected the great reality of the revolution and national liberation of China. A number of his musical works are distinguished by their national style and originality, which have received universal approval among the Chinese people and are still popular today.

He studied at the Institute of Traditional Chinese Music at Beijing University, and then at the Shanghai Conservatory. In 1929, Xian Xinghai went to study in Paris, and in 1935 he returned to China, where he took an active part in the anti-Japanese patriotic movement.

In 1938, Xian Xinghai arrived at the shrine of the Chinese Revolution Yan’an. He was appointed dean of the Faculty of Music at the Lou Xun Institute of Arts (1939). The period of his stay in Yan’an was the most successful period of the composer's creative life: in just one year he wrote his outstanding masterpiece “Cantata on the Yellow River”, as well as “Cantata on Labor”, “Cantata on September 18th”, “Counteroffensive”, “International Women's Day”, “Down with Wang Jingwei!” and others.

In 1940, Xian Xinghai was sent to the Soviet Union in Moscow, where he completed the first symphony “National Liberation”. In 1941 he moved to Almaty, where he composed the second symphony “Holy War”, “Chinese Rhapsody”, the poem “Amangeldy”. In addition, he collected and reworked many Kazakh folk songs, becoming a messenger between the Chinese and Kazakh peoples.

As a sign of Kazakh-Chinese friendship on October 7, 1998, one of the streets of the city of Almaty was renamed Xian Xinghai Street, where a monument to the composer was installed with the inscription: “In memory of an outstanding Chinese composer, envoy of Chinese-Kazakh friendship and cultural exchange - Xian Xinghai” . This year, on the 113th anniversary of Xian Xinghai, Kazakhstani and Chinese documentalists shot a short film “The Musician”, telling about the composer’s life and career and the sincere friendship between Xian Xinghai and Kazakh composer Bakhytzhan Baikadamov.
