Ouyang Yibing, the screenwriter of the play, said, "From the creation of "There is a Black Boy on the Great Wall" 27 years ago to the rearrangement of "The Legend of the Great Wall" today, as a screenwriter, I want our teenagers to think in many ways in the face of the majestic Great Wall, so that children can feel the great spirit of the Chinese nation in building the Great Wall, so that they can be encouraged to devote themselves to the construction of the 'New Great Wall' in the new era in the future. ”
Director Wang Xiaoying said, "What impressed me was that this is a very interesting story. This story is full of magic and folklore meaning, from the perspective of a child, with the child's emotions to see the Great Wall, the script provides a lot of imagination space for the creators and the audience. ”
