The TV series was shot in more than 600 film settings. Besides, some replicas of significant sites in the CPC history - ranging from the "South Lake Red Boat" in Jiaxing and house caves in Yan’an, Shaanxi province, - were constructed to reflect the historical reality.

Li Zhun, former deputy chairman of China Federation of Literary and Art Circles, said that the TV series has injected freshness to the genre of revolutionary series, which have flooded across the country's TV screens and cinemas this year.

"The series vividly reflects the 13 delegates' different options in different historical moments, which have been barely featured in previous TV dramas," added Li.

The TV series started to run on Zhejiang Satellite TV and Jiangsu Satellite TV from May 21, and is still available on mainstream streaming sites including Youku and iQiyi.
