's major revolutionary historical TV series "A Number of Heroes" is currently being broadcast on Jiangsu, Shandong and other satellite TV stations. It uses historical writing and chronological narrative to engrave the footnotes of the times from the preparations for the founding of the Party to the establishment of major historical nodes in New China. The play vividly interprets the flesh and bones of the "romantic characters" with real touches.

The story of "Number of Famous Figures" starts from the May 4th Movement in 1919 to the founding of New China in 1949. The time span is as long as 30 years. There are more than 300 named historical figures. It presents a panoramic view of the Chinese Communists. The road is full of twists and turns, a story of unremitting struggle for the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, the liberation and happiness of the Chinese people. The whole article is laid out in a chronological way, using major events in the historical process as nodes, outlining the wave of twists and turns in which the young Communist Party of China led the precarious old China from poverty and weakness to independence, prosperity and strength.

"A Number of Romantic Figures" divides the writing of real historical figures into two parts. It not only shows his greatness as a great man, but also does not forget to describe his joys, sorrows and joys that are no different from ordinary people; it does not deliberately describe the subject because of the "importance" of the subject. Ignore the "little things" in life. The play involves several revolutionary couples, such as Chen Duxiu, Gao Junman, Mao Zedong, Yang Kaihui, Cai Hesen, Xiang Jingyu, etc., but the way they get along with each other is completely different: the relationship between Chen Duxiu and Gao Junman is on the verge of breakdown. The whereabouts of the money is like a mirror projecting a huge gap; the relationship between Mao Zedong and Yang Kaihui is both revolutionary comrades and intimate lovers; the relationship between Cai Hesen and Xiang Jingyu has already dedicated themselves to the revolutionary cause, and they do not belong to each other. , only for everyone, not for the small family.

"A Number of Heroes" is played by young actors. The young faces are not only consistent with historical facts, but also shorten the distance between them and young audiences, and also highlight the power of youth throughout historical practice. Hou Jingjian , who plays Mao Zedong, said that in a crew with a strong creative atmosphere, it is easier to stimulate the creativity of actors, and many improvisations have the finishing touch. Mao Zedong and Cai Hesen are revolutionary comrades and close friends, but how to express this intimacy? There is a scene in the play where the two met in Wuhan. Mao Zedong was shirtless and wearing shorts, which was in sharp contrast to Cai Hesen, who was in suits and ties. Mao Zedong wanted to splash Cai Hesen with cold water, but considering that he was weak and ill, he had to give up. This kind of expression, full of youthful spirit without losing the details of life, also highlights the personality of the characters.

As for the portrayal of female revolutionaries, such as Yang Kaihui, Xiang Jingyu and others, the play uses a combination of hardness and softness, and a mixture of virtuality and reality. Xiang Jingyu died generously, and read aloud his published articles before leaving, which was poetic, romantic, and resounding; Yang Kaihui's farewell to her children was also full of life-like expressions, and the memories of Yang Kaihui's actor Suga Renzi left an impression on her The deepest part is this scene, where the slap hits the crying child, which breaks my heart as a mother.

As a major revolutionary historical theme, "A Number of Romantic Figures" takes into account all aspects, not only not omitting major historical time nodes, but also fully depicting the thoughts and thoughts of specific figures in the long history. The conflict between Chen Duxiu and Chen Yannian and Chen Qionian is the epitome of Marxism and anarchism; Mao Zedong bid farewell to Li Dazhao and resolutely returned south to Shaoshan, Hunan, exploring ways to solve China's problems in practice. This innovative expression of seeing the big from the small, from characters to history, has also been recognized by modern audiences.
