During the Spring and Autumn Period (770-476 BC), Lady Xu Mu was born into a royal family of the Kingdom of Wei. After marrying the king of the Xu Kingdom and moving to the remote kingdom, Lady Xu Mu expressed her homesickness by writing poems. When she heard the news that the Kingdom of Wei was defeated in a war, she decided to go back to help rebuild the kingdom. She also wrote poems to express her love and devotion to her homeland.
With slow-paced melodic singing, poetic verses and graceful movements, Guo Feng gathers top Chinese artists, including scriptwriter Luo Huaizhen and veteran director Cao Qijing.
