In the 21st year of Guangxu, Baron Pierre de Coubertin, the founder of the modern Olympic movement, wrote a letter to Li Hongzhang, persuading the Qing government of China to participate in the first World Games (International Sports Games). The play starts from this legend, revolving around a general who is devoted to serving the country but is covertly demoted and removed from the battlefield, a scholar full of knowledge who encounters the abolition of the imperial examination, a widow from a bridge honored with a chastity plaque, and a royal girl who, after studying in the West, is filled with anti-traditional ideas. These characters, with diverse backgrounds and personalities, narrate how they accidentally became part of China’s earliest sports team. Yang Tianqiao, who navigates the bridge with his words and sells fake antiques, is the steadfast support for these warriors. They break through the obstacles set by the Qing government and eventually set out for the World Games with great ambitions, only to discover that the event has already concluded. This play showcases the clash between modern sports spirit and traditional Chinese culture while also displaying the patriotic enthusiasm of a group of young people in the late Qing dynasty and their pursuit of a better life and love.
