My Brother Shunliu, which was broadcast in the prime time of CCTV-1 on the evening of June 19, ranked first in terms of TV play ratings for the same period after airing only five episodes. While the ratings soared as people watched "Xu Sanduo" and "Brother Seven" from A Soldier's Tale turn into sharpshooters "Shunliu" and "Chen Dalei", different comments also emerged among the audience, triggering a heated discussion online. As to whether this TV play is a spin-off version of A Soldier's Tale or an upgraded version of "San Duo’s Adventure", there are various opinions for the time being.
