It is another fusion and display of Chu opera art carrying revolutionary heroes and patriotic themes.

Over the past four years, Xiang Jingyu has undergone multiple polishing and adjustments. In the content of the story, the essence is adjusted and compressed to highlight the character of the characters in the surging historical scroll, and at the same time, the revolutionary martyrs are described as ordinary people in a more delicate and true way. The whole play depicts Xiang Jingyu's last ten years of life in great detail. She is frustrated in setting up a women's school in her hometown. She went to France with Cai Hesen, returned to China to join the CPC, and came to Wuhan in 1927. The following year, she was betrayed and killed.
