The large-scale drama "Going North" uses the narrative clue of "interweaving ancient and modern times" to tell the story of human life at both ends of the canal: Italian Paolo Dimarco (Little Polo) and his party set out from Hangzhou and went north along the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, ending at the northern end of the canal.

A hundred years later, the descendants of these canal passengers still closely connect their life experiences with the fate of the Grand Canal. History and contemporary times are juxtaposed over a hundred years, and the once-lost water has once again glowed with new glory.

The large-scale drama "Going North" uses the narrative clue of "interweaving ancient and modern times" to tell the story of the human world stretching at both ends of the canal.

This canal epic spanning a century echoes the performance trajectory of "Going North" today. Beijing is not only the destination and cause and effect of the canal journey in the play, but also the "tracing source" that the large-scale drama "Going North" must pass through. land.

When the passenger ship arrives in Tongzhou, the solemnity, solemnity and magnificent emotions of the whole play have also reached their peak.
