The script for "Reversal" was developed by Wuhan playwright Zhao Ruitai during the lockdown period in Wuhan. Famous director Wang Xiaoying and young director Wang Jiannan from the National Theatre went to Wuhan for rehearsals shortly after the lockdown was lifted. Wang Xiaoying has repeatedly stated that this rehearsal experience is completely different from before. The actors are all portraying their own life experiences and emotional journeys. Every day in the rehearsal room is immersed in real passion and profound emotions. "Watching the actors cry due to this experience and this life realization during rehearsal, I couldn't help but shed tears."

Through the depiction of several stages such as "accidents and panic," "perseverance in sacrifice," "national resistance and self rescue," and "overcoming difficulties with national support," "The Adventures of Wuhan" portrays the growth of the Wuhan people after being tested, just as the last line of the drama says: "The city is still the original city, and we are no longer the original us!"
