The most special thing about Abandoning Soldiers in the Rear Wing lies in its plot. This is a cool drama of a big woman, but the "cool point" it gives the audience is completely contrary to the routine. Unconventional is not enough. Abandoning soldiers in the rear wing not only achieved "breaking", but also achieved "standing".
It did not avoid the sufferings faced by women in real history, deliberately created opposing dramatic conflicts, and did not artificially "suppress first and then promote". Instead, it presents the plight of the protagonist and even women in various details, which can be described as seeing the big from the small.
On the other hand, Harmon will climb higher and higher in the chess world, and at the same time he has experienced a personal spiritual growth history. The play closely interweaves these two lines, and the plot line is as smooth as silk.
