The show is directed by one of China's most famous directors: Zhang Yi Mo - who was the director for the Beijing Olympic Game's opening ceremony. The show is based on a romantic movie: 'Sister Liu San Jie' that tells the story of a beautiful Zhuang minority girl, who like other zhuang girls can sing very beautiful folk songs. She receives high praise not only for her voice but also her kind heart and helping of others. She falls in love with a fishman's son, but is loved by a rich old landlord. The rich and powerful family of the landlord kidnap her and lock her up, but with the help of the village people and the fishman's son, she manages to escape and finally marries her true love.
