The Chinese Orphan tells the story of the aristocratic family Zhao's being framed to death by Tu Angu, a treacherous official in the Spring & Autumn Period and the survival orphan Zhao Wu's revenge for his family when he grows up. The work has been interpreted through sorts of stage arts. The great French writer Voltaire once adapted this story into a play titled L'orphelin de la Maison de Tchao (The Chinese Orphan). It was introduced to the western world and has been popular ever since. In 2010, the film Sacrifice (Zhao Shi Gu Er)directed by Chen Kaige caused a great sensation.

In 2011, the well-known 'golden partners' playwright Zou Jingzhi and composer Lei Lei joined again to tailor for NCPA the original opera The Chinese Orphan. The reason why they focus again on the historical theme is that they wish to restore the classicism, and highlight the Chinese nation's value of sacrificing life for justice, and to promote Chinese culture with the righteous traditional spirits to the whole world.
