A petty official in the Tang Dynasty is given the impossible task of delivering fresh lychee from Lingnan to Imperial Consort Yang’s birthday banquet in Chang’an, a distance of over 2500 kilometers. He has three months to make the impossible possible. The penalty for failure is death for him and slavery for his family.
chang an’s lychee is historical drama about delivering lychee from lingnan (guangdong province) to chang an capital (shaanxi province) during tang dynasty within a very short time which used to be very difficult before the invention of same day delivery. It is maybe sort of like a day in the life of a delivery guy.
