Set during the crucial battle with Chu , the Shanxi Opera A General of Qin tells the historical story of Ying Zheng, emperor of Qin, and Wang Jian, general of Qin, struggling together to unify China. Ying Zheng was powerful, resourceful and suspicious. Wang was loyal, ambitious and cautious. They admired and trusted each other for their shared ambitions, but also guarded against each other as a result of their conflicting characters, status and living environment during feudal times. Focusing on their psychological change, the play digs into their souls and displays a dramatic plot through various sharp conflicts and suspense. It praises Wang for his vision, courage, resourcefulness, altruism, and contempt for fame and fortune. The play is very magnificent and inspiring.
