The stage design centers on the image of "letters", with undulating pages forming the main stage. This visual motif represents the physical space of the story as well as the emotional flow, creating a frontier atmosphere, enhanced by lighting to evoke both a poetic and realistic space.
The premiere was met with enthusiastic applause and cheers long after the curtain call. The production features actors and dancers, including Wang Xi, Zhou Mohan, and Ju Hongchuan.
