Features: The story takes place during the reign of Emperor Renzong in the Northern Song Dynasty. The patriotic general Hu Yanzan's son, Hu Yanpxian, is framed by the treacherous official Pang Wen, resulting in the execution of over 300 members of his family. Hu Yanpxian's son, Hu Yanshouxun, escapes the massacre as he was not at home. Pang Wen seeks to eliminate the entire family. To avoid capture, Hu Yanshouxun flees to the northern regions to seek refuge with relatives. He marries and has a son named Hu Yanqing in the village of Dashuangzhuang. Upon returning from his studies in the mountains, Hu Yanqing causes three major disturbances in the capital city of Bianliang, terrifying Pang Wen and causing him to lose sleep. Pang Wen harbors ambitions to usurp the throne, secretly allying with foreign powers to divide the territory and seize power. Leveraging the influence of his daughter, the imperial consort, he oppresses the emperor and his ministers, committing countless atrocities and exploiting the people for wealth.
To eliminate the treacherous officials like Pang Wen, who betrayed the nation and harmed the people, and to avenge the massacre of his family, the descendants of the Hu family—Hu Yanqing, Hu Yanping, Hu Yanming, and others—receive support from loyal ministers such as Bao Zheng, Kou Zhen, and the Yang family in their long, arduous, and intense struggle against the treacherous faction. In the end, they achieve victory. The novel features a tightly structured and innovative narrative, vivid characters, a dynamic and storyline, and lucid, fluent language. Coupled with Liu Lanfang's masterful performance—her clear diction, resonant voice, and vivid storytelling—the audience feels as if they are living the story. It is a traditional large-scale narrative that promotes patriotism and national spirit, deeply beloved by the public.
