Yue Fei
[[New Tang Dynasty Television]] (NTDTV) has produced a [[Chinese opera]]-style reenactment of "[[Yue Fei#Story of Yue Fei|Shuo Yue Quanzhuan]]" called "The Loyalty of Yue Fei" as part of the "[[Chinese New Year]] Spectacular". The play begins with Yue Fei and his sworn brothers practicing martial arts. When the [[Jin dynasty (1115–1234)|Jin dynasty]]'s general Wushu invades the Southern Song Dynasty, Yue Fei is torn between duty to his country and duty to his mother. The production plays heavy on the strong relationship between mother and son. According to actor Wang Xuejun, who portrays the title character of Yue Fei, "Some people said that when they first saw Yue Fei's mother come out [to give Yue his [[Yue Fei#Yue Fei's tattoo|famous tattoo]]], and the smoke rising they were moved to tears." He continues, "Yue Fei excels both as a scholar and a martial artist — wise as well as courageous. I use that as the inner temperament for my character to embody." The "Spectacular" is scheduled for a 28 city world tour across the United States, Canada, Australia, Germany, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, and France in 2007.
