Chen Shouting, the hero of the play, is the main undertaker of the story and meaning. This is a legendary brand-new and unique image of a national industrialist, which is completely different from any previous literature and screen type. Chen Shouting came from the lowest stratum of the people. When he was a child, he begged and had no parents. He ate a hundred meals and wore a hundred clothes.

It is such a "nobody" who has not been influenced by poetry and books, and later became a genius in the printing and dyeing industry. Chen Shouting's legendary life and typical personality are mainly reflected in three aspects.

First of all, Chen Shouting embodies a strong traditional moral consciousness represented by "benevolence and righteousness". Secondly, the legendary image of Chen Shouting is reflected in the folk wisdom formed under the infiltration of traditional culture. Although he can't read, he has great courage, and the traditional folk wisdom such as Thirty-six Plans and Romance of the Three Kingdoms has become his magic weapon to win.

With the help of these folk wisdom, we can be comfortable and invincible in the cruel business competition. Third, his legendary performance lies in his modern consciousness.
