Fun Facts

Because the story takes place after the Battle of the Yalu River, a big part of the storyline revolves around the Zhiyuan-class cruiser.
From the early stages until filming began, the production team consulted the archeologists within the country who discovered the cruiser and confirmed its authenticity.
For Liu Yuxin who grew up in Chongqing, it is her first time to act in a drama about Chongqing and the experience brought back many childhood memories.
