The story of the musical follows the romantic love story between Chinese poet Deng Yuping (1923-85), who wrote the song's lyrics and his lover Bai Mei. Deng and Bai met in middle school and fell in love. They were separated during wartime and, in 1985, before Deng died, he received a recording of a Taiwan folk song, Gao Shan Qing (Green High Mountain), sent by Bai, who later moved to Taiwan. The same year, Bai died.
The musical was produced by Sichuan University of Culture and Arts and directed by veteran songwriter-director Jia Ding.
