Duo Sheng continues the glory of one hundred and twenty, and creates a new chapter in the era of dreams with ingenuity. As a key cultural project for the 100th anniversary of Jinan University, the rescheduled "Zhenduo" is expected to be staged three times at the Shipai campus of Jinan University by the end of October. The play will continue to use the stage as a carrier, allowing the spirit of the sages, which has been buried in historical materials, to step out of books, into campuses, and into the hearts of young people. Jinan University will continue to explore the connotation of its history and inherit its cultural roots, allowing the century old Jinan cultural heritage to be passed down from generation to generation, and using the power of literature and art to write the answer sheet for educating people in the new era.

This activity was jointly sponsored by the Academy of Arts/the Pearl River Film Academy and the Institute of Cultural Heritage and Creative Industries, and implemented by the College Students' Art Quality Teaching Department. The heads of the Party and Government Office, Party Committee Organization Department, Party Committee Propaganda Department, Party Committee Teacher Work Department, Party Committee Student Work Department, Party Committee Graduate Work Department, Trade Union Committee, General Affairs and Logistics Management Office, External Liaison Office, School of Literature and other relevant departments participated in the event.
