Zhao Xiaochuan

This drama describes the life of Zhou Enlai, who serves as Premier of the People's Republic of China, from the founding of the Communist State in 1949 to 1976 until his death.

Adapted from the classical 14th century novel of the same title by Luo Guanzhong, Romance of the Three Kingdoms is part historical, part legend, and part mythical – romanticises and dramatises the lives of feudal lords and their retainers, who tried to replace the dwindling Han dynasty or restore it. The focus is mainly on the three power blocs that emerged from the remnants of the Han dynasty, and would eventually form the three states of Cao Wei, Shu Han, and Eastern Wu.

Spanning three generations, the story follows a family of women dedicated to serving their Beijing neighborhood, showcasing the evolution of Hutong culture. From the early days of liberation to the present, Tian Zao devotes her life to grassroots work, inspiring her daughter and granddaughter to carry on her legacy, reflecting the changing spirit of youth and community over time.
