"In the 50s of the 20th century, "My Family" had a great influence, and the films made later also caused great repercussions throughout the country." Screenwriter Xu Xinhua said frankly that "pearl jade is ahead", how to use the form of drama criticism to truly reflect the sacrifices and efforts made by this revolutionary family to today's audience is the biggest challenge in the process of creating and rehearsing the play.
