Renowned figures in classical Chinese literature, Su Xun, Su Shi, and Su Zhe, from the Northern Song Dynasty (960-1127), have left a lasting legacy through their influential cultural works, including poems, lyrics, prose, and essays.

"The story of Su Xun, Su Shi, and Su Zhe is well-known, but Madam Cheng is rarely told. During our research about Cheng, we discovered her significant contributions to the literary family, particularly in the education of her two sons. She was a well-educated woman who imparted literacy to her sons," explained the play's scriptwriter, Chen Lili.
