According to the Beijing Performance & Arts Group, the production team collected real stories of policemen in order to present both their heavy responsibilities and their ordinary daily lives. Traditional acrobatic tricks and skills have been incorporated to help capture the interest of audiences and create the right atmosphere for the story.
