It is set during the Warring States period. It takes the complicated relationship and conflicts between the King of Chu and Qu Yuan as its overt narrative thread, while Qu Yuan's inner journey serves as the underlying thread, giving the historical figure of Qu Yuan strong dramatic dimensions. Approaching Qu Yuan from different aspects of his thought, culture, and personality, the documentary explores themes including his pursuit of moral integrity, his tireless quest within the world of literature, his deep attachment to his country through the ages, his ultimate questioning of the truths of the universe, and his willingness to sacrifice himself in pursuit of the value of life. The documentary features interviews with more than twenty renowned scholars and poets, forming a cross-disciplinary work in which poets, scholars, patriots, and statesmen engage in a spiritual dialogue that transcends time and space.
