The Sichuan Opera Troupe of Wenshui City will perform the famous play "True and False Tathagata" abroad. In order to secure a spot for going abroad, people immediately took action. Hong Xiangqing, the wife of the Secretary of the Municipal Committee and the Director of the Office, was the first to squeeze out the position of Deputy Secretary Zhang as the team leader, and relied on his power to bring in Minister Zhao and Director Li, who had nothing to do with art, as deputy team leaders. Panic director Bao Lin quickly and decisively pushed out the main character Yueyi to play the role of Pot-bellied Arhat, but he never thought that his superior director Fan would take this opportunity. Lost Baolin brought the matter to the provincial party committee. Yueyi found a theater troupe with the support of a certain leader. Yueyi, Director Fan and Director Bao who came first, three Arhat fought each other backstage, which made people laugh and cry.
