A word from the founder
Beijing Mahua Funage Entertainment Media Co., Ltd., known as KaiXin Mahua or Mahua Funage, was founded in 2003.
The story begins with three young men in their 20s and a simple dream of gathering a theatre troupe to leave people doubled over with laughter. Our first-ever play, Fresh Baked Mahua For You, was a witty yet heartfelt success. The play’s punny use of “Mahua,” a traditional Chinese pastry, quickly became a memorable image representing both cultural roots and grew to be
associated with the brand.
Today, Mahua is a beloved household name across China, celebrated for our quality comedy in many formats. Yet, we began with humble roots—a small team of unknown creatives and actors brought together by a shared dream.
We also began with the notion of family. From a young age, I watched as my beloved brothers cracked jokes at our family gatherings and dreamed of sharing that joyous, shared laughter with the world.
Over the years, our brand and our team have grown side by side, rising from local stages to national fame, united by our passion for bringing joy into people’s lives.
