Based on the famous contemporary Chinese novel

The literal translation of the title of this movie is: the city that is surrounded.

This television series is based on the famous contemporary Chinese novel with the same name, written by one of the greatest contemporary Chinese author, Mr. Zhong-Shu Qian.

Relatively speaking, this television series has given a rather accurate reflection of the original work, but then again, any television series would have the advantage over the movie because the former runs longer and has enough time to show the details, while the latter is rarely longer than two hours.
