A vicious and dark Qing court battle under the radar
The time is late Qing dynasty. Hu Xueyan, one of the country’s wealthiest merchants, is actively acquiring weapons and military supplies, in full support of General Zuo Zongtang against the threat of foreign invasion and internal uprising. Li Hongzhang, who has been at odds with Zuo over the years, is closing in on Hu in an act to eliminate those who get in his way. This vicious and dark battle is perhaps, as the Chinese saying goes, a battle where people are killed yet no blood is drawn.
Winner of the Hong Kong Drama Awards for Best Script, Hu Xueyan, My Dear is another collaboration between playwright Paul Poon and director Roy Szeto, following the acclaimed Qing court drama The Emperor, his Mom, a Eunuch and a Man.
