Calming the Chaotic Seas

Though reluctant, pirate leader of the Red Flag Fleet, Cheung Po Tsai led a life full of daring, risks, hatred and love. At the end, this gangster eventually turned into an imperial official.

However, against his wishes, his choice caused great suffering to his old comrades in the Red Flag Fleet. History documents his deeds but not his emotions. Members of the Chung Ying Theatre Company put themselves in Cheung’s position and reconstruct his emotional struggles.
