It brings together outstanding actors from both sides of the Taiwan Strait to perform. The drama uses a bowl of beef noodles passed down from generation to generation to reflect the separation and separation of four generations in a family. The exquisite scenes, delicate emotions, and storytelling move the audience. Tang Lihua, the producer and lead actor of the drama, and the deputy head of the Drama Troupe of the All China Federation of Literary and Art Circles, said, "We hope to take this opportunity to let the audience understand the 70 year history and changes of the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, experience the continuous separation of family ties between the people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, and experience the culture of the capital through watching this drama. Let the drama increasingly enter the lives of the people and take root and sprout in the city." This year's National Drama Exhibition Season will continue until January 2024. (Wen Yi) (Le Xin She)
