The formations of the Red Cross

In the reign of Emperor Renzong of the Northern Song Dynasty, the world was peaceful and prosperous with favorable weather. Although the court focused on civil governance over military affairs, numerous heroes emerged among the common folk, creating legendary tales that would be remembered for generations. The prefect of Kaifeng, Bao Zheng (played by Ding XiaoQiu), was an upright and honest official, admired by both the emperor and prime minister, and supported by the common people and even heroes of the Jianghu. His righteousness became a lasting influence in the world. This series is adapted from the Chinese classical novel "The Seven Heroes and Five Gallants."

Su Shi was a statesman of the Song Dynasty, but perhaps best known one of the major poets of the era. He published his work under the pseudonym Dongpo Jushi (東坡居士 "Resident of Dongpo") and is therefore best known as Su Dong Po (蘇東坡). The focus of the story is the time of his first exile to the region of Huangzhou, Hubei, just prior to writing the first and second part of "The Red Cliffs" (Chibi Fu).
