Man Gets Back to Qin Dynasty (寻秦记)\n\n*A Legend of A Modern Man Gets Back to Qin Dynasty* (寻秦记, also known in English as *A Step into the Past* or *Back to the Past*) is a Hong Kong time-travel story by the writer [Huang Yi](https://www.edgepedia.org/huang-yi) (黄易) in which a 21st-century special-forces agent, Xiang Shaolong (项少龙), is accidentally sent back to the [Warring States period](https://www.edgepedia.org/warring-states-period) and helps Ying Zheng become the ruler of Qin. First published as a novel in the mid-1990s, it was adapted into a landmark 2001 TVB television series starring [Louis Koo](https://www.edgepedia.org/louis-koo), a 2018 mainland Chinese web series, and a 2025 feature film that reunited the 2001 cast.[1](https://www.cinespot.com/editorial/%E7%B7%A8%E8%BC%AF%E5%91%A8%E8%A8%98-25124) • [2](https://www.tvzn.com/2986/)\n\n| Key fact | Detail |\n|---|---|\n| Original work | Novel by Huang Yi, published in the mid-1990s in 25 volumes, later revised into 6 to 8 volumes by different publishers[1](https://www.cinespot.com/editorial/%E7%B7%A8%E8%BC%AF%E5%91%A8%E8%A8%98-25124) |\n| Premise | A modern man travels back roughly 2,000 years to the Warring States era and becomes entangled in the power struggles that lead to Qin's unification of China[3](https://thetvdb.com/series/a-step-into-the-past) |\n| 2001 TV series | TVB production, 40 episodes, starring Louis Koo as Xiang Shaolong, Jessica Hsuan as Wu Tingfang, Sonija Kwok as Qin Qing, and Raymond Lam as Ying Zheng[2](https://www.tvzn.com/2986/) |\n| Historical standing | Widely described as the pioneer of Chinese time-travel television drama (穿越剧鼻祖)[4](https://www.thepaper.cn/newsDetail_forward_20529570) |\n| 2018 remake | Youku web series, 40 episodes, premiered 18 January 2018, starring Chen Xiang and Guo Xiaoting[5](https://wiki.d-addicts.com/A_Step_into_the_Past_%282018%29) |\n| 2025 film | *Back to the Past*, 107 minutes, released 31 December 2025 in China and Malaysia with the original 2001 cast[6](https://www.the-numbers.com/movie/Back-to-the-Past-%282025-Hong-Kong%29) • [7](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=54jfn7g3lNE) |\n\n## Spoilers\n\n### Plot\n\nThe story opens in the year 2188. A starship encounters a black hole, and the only way to stabilize the singularity is for someone to fly a small craft straight into it. Captain Zhan Feng (Wu Qilong) volunteers, but Xiang Shaolong (Chen Xiang) stuns him with an electric gadget and takes his place. The flight hurls him out of his own century and into the State of Zhao in the late third century BCE, during Ying Zheng's youth.\n\nHis ship crashes into a lake, where he is rescued by Xing Yun (Guo Xiaoting), a Mohist disciple who chased the falling craft believing it a sign from heaven. Xiang Shaolong quickly demonstrates how useful a man from 2188 can be: he electro-stuns a gang of bandits with his futuristic gear, and his blade-proof suit shrugs off a sword attack from the fiery [Wu Tingfang](https://www.edgepedia.org/wu-tingfang), who hacks at the bound stranger to no visible effect. He is knocked out for his troubles by the Mohist grandmaster Yuan Zong, and wakes up a guest, then a member, of the Mohist school.\n\nXiang Shaolong learns that the only way back to his own time lies with Ying Zheng, the hostage prince of Qin held in Zhao, and his mission becomes to find the boy and help him ascend the throne. That mission tangles him in Zhao court intrigue, where the scheming merchant Lü Buwei, the corrupt minister Zhao Mu, and the beautiful but doomed Zhao Ya all maneuver around the hostage. Along the way Xiang Shaolong grows close to Xing Yun, who carries a congenital heart ailment and, it emerges, is Yuan Zong's granddaughter and Lü Buwei's daughter.\n\n**Zhao Pan, the humble boy Xiang Shaolong has been protecting, is not a stand-in for the future First Emperor. He is the real Ying Zheng.** Xiang Shaolong captures General Bi, exposes Zhao Mu's secret collusion with Qin, and then tells Zhao Pan the truth: the prince everyone is hunting was switched long ago, and the boy himself is the true hostage heir. Zhao Pan refuses to believe it at first, and the refusal ends in his break with Xiang Shaolong at the Wei River.\n\nBefore that break, the series delivers its most bittersweet beat. Zhao Pan wins a battlefield prize, a dose of the rare heart-cure herb Duan Chang, and offers it to Xing Yun, whom he loves. She must tell him, gently, that her heart condition is already cured and has been for some time; only Xiang Shaolong knew. Feeling his devotion thrown back in his face, Zhao Pan throws the priceless herb into a fire. The sweet, loyal boy starts turning into someone else.\n\nZhao Pan's escape from Zhao is arranged by Zhao Mu through a decoy swap, but Zhao Mu and Zhao Ya are cut down by Zhao generals outside the city, and Zhao Pan returns to Qin. After Ying Yiren dies, Zhao Pan inherits the throne, executes Lü Buwei, conquers Zhao in three months, and begins the wars that will unify the realm. He builds his mausoleum and fills it with terracotta warriors, an army to stand guard over a man who was once a frightened hostage.\n\nXiang Shaolong, his mission complete and his patron now a stranger, chooses the other exit. He and Xing Yun retire with [Zou Yan](https://www.edgepedia.org/zou-yan) to a secluded paradise, out of history's way, and have a son. They name him [Xiang Yu](https://www.edgepedia.org/xiang-yu), and the final scene shows the boy who will one day face Liu Bang, the founder of the Han, in the struggle that follows Qin's fall.\n\n### Characters\n\nXiang Shaolong (Chen Xiang) is the astronaut at the center of it all, a quick-talking modern man whose gadgets keep saving his life and whose knowledge of history keeps telling him whom to protect. His problem is that the closer he gets to the people he is protecting, the harder it becomes to treat them as history's placeholders.\n\nXing Yun (Guo Xiaoting) is the Mohist disciple who pulls him out of the lake, a swordswoman and healer with a bad heart and a good soul, and the daughter of Lü Buwei, which makes her loyalties complicated by blood as well as love.\n\nZhao Pan (Niu Zifan) is the hostage boy who becomes Ying Zheng and then [Qin Shi Huang](https://www.edgepedia.org/qin-shi-huang), and the series' real tragedy: the man Xiang Shaolong raises to the throne is the one he loses to it.\n\nZhan Feng (Wu Qilong) is the starship captain from 2188 whom Xiang Shaolong stuns and replaces; Wu Qilong also served as the production's artistic director.\n\nAround them circle Zhao Mu, the corrupt minister; Zhao Ya, his doomed lover; Lü Buwei, the merchant kingmaker; and Wu Tingfang, the sword-happy girl who cannot cut through one spacesuit.\n\n### Interpretations and controversies\n\nThe remake drew fire for changing its hero's motive. Critics, notably Pengpai (The Paper), argued that in the 2001 TVB original Xiang Shaolong must protect Ying Zheng to preserve the history that is his own home, which gave the story its stakes, while here Earth is no longer his home, so safeguarding history loses its force and only faith in unification remains. The same reviews noted the show leaned into comedy for a young audience at the cost of historical weight. The *Xun Qin Ji* name itself carries heavy nostalgia: the TVB version is widely regarded as the ancestor of Chinese time-travel drama, and comparisons were never going to be kind.\n\n### Sequels, spin-offs, and adaptations\n\nThe series is a second adaptation of Huang Yi's novel, with the IP repurchased so the production could rebuild the story from scratch, changing Xiang Shaolong into an astronaut to make it a cross-time science fiction drama. The 2001 TVB adaptation with Louis Koo remains the famous version, and a film sequel to that version was released December 31, 2025.\n\n## The novel\n\nHuang Yi, a Hong Kong-based popular fiction writer, is credited with developing a style known as \"Eastern Fantasy,\" combining science fiction, thriller elements, and Chinese Daoist, Buddhist, and mythological material; his works, including *Xunqinji*, attracted a large readership across the greater China area.[8](https://pure.manchester.ac.uk/ws/portalfiles/portal/54530830/FULL_TEXT.PDF) The novel appeared in the mid-1990s; a Reddit discussion dates its serialization to 1994–1996, and Douban lists a mainland edition from Huayi Publishing House dated 1 November 1997, followed by editions from Guangxi Minzu Publishing House, Yunnan People's Publishing House (2009), and the Taiwan publisher Gaia Culture (2017).[1](https://www.cinespot.com/editorial/%E7%B7%A8%E8%BC%AF%E5%91%A8%E8%A8%98-25124) • [9](https://book.douban.com/works/1012154)\n\nIn the story, Xiang Shaolong is an elite member of a 21st-century special unit selected for a secret time-travel experiment; an accident sends him to the Warring States era, where he must find Ying Zheng, then a hostage in the State of Zhao, and help him take the throne of Qin to secure his own return to the future.[3](https://thetvdb.com/series/a-step-into-the-past) • [10](https://ent.sina.com.cn/2003-08-09/1423183417.html) The novel runs 25 volumes and contains substantial erotic content that later adaptations toned down; its prose style, colloquial and Hong Kong-flavored, has drawn criticism compared with more literary wuxia writers, and reception of the book has been polarized.[1](https://www.cinespot.com/editorial/%E7%B7%A8%E8%BC%AF%E5%91%A8%E8%A8%98-25124) A commentator writing in *The Paper* notes that the novel has the hallmarks of modern long-form web fiction: millions of characters, a highly open plot with a low degree of rigor, and a protagonist whose time travel is unplanned and aimless, since he is chosen for the experiment largely on the strength of his physique after a bar fight.[11](https://www.thepaper.cn/newsDetail_forward_1514744)\n\n## The 2001 TVB series\n\nTVB adapted the novel into a 40-episode series broadcast in 2001 as its anniversary drama, with Louis Koo (古天乐) as Xiang Shaolong, Jessica Hsuan (宣萱) as Wu Tingfang, Sonija Kwok (郭羡妮) as Qin Qing, Raymond Lam (林峰) as the future Qin Shi Huang, and Gordon Lam (江华) as Lian Jin; the director was Chong Wai-kin (庄伟建).[2](https://www.tvzn.com/2986/) • [4](https://www.thepaper.cn/newsDetail_forward_20529570) In this version, Xiang Shaolong is a Hong Kong G4 agent of the 21st century who joins a time-travel experiment hoping to win back a love he has neglected for seven years; a malfunction lands him three years earlier than planned in the Warring States period, with no way to communicate with the present.[2](https://www.tvzn.com/2986/) The series also changed the historical premise: Xiang Shaolong learns that the real Ying Zheng has died in Zhao, so he installs an impostor on the throne instead.[10](https://ent.sina.com.cn/2003-08-09/1423183417.html)\n\n**Production scale.** The series was the first TVB drama to shoot at [Hengdian World Studios](https://www.edgepedia.org/hengdian-world-studios). The production used the vast Qin palace set, covering about 110,000 square meters, that Chen Kaige had built for the film *The Emperor and the Assassin*, and producer Chong Wai-kin decided on the location for that reason.[4](https://www.thepaper.cn/newsDetail_forward_20529570) The experience showed TVB staff the scale of mainland resources compared with Hong Kong studios, and the article credits the series with starting TVB practitioners' northward move.[4](https://www.thepaper.cn/newsDetail_forward_20529570)\n\n**Reception and aftereffects.** The series set ratings records on broadcast and was the highest-rated TVB drama of 2001; even late-night reruns reached a rating of 9 points, which the source estimates at about 500,000 viewers.[4](https://www.thepaper.cn/newsDetail_forward_20529570) On Douban it has been rated by more than 40,000 users; a 2016 article recorded a score of 8.1, and a 2026 article gives 8.6, calling the series the founding work of the Chinese time-travel drama genre.[11](https://www.thepaper.cn/newsDetail_forward_1514744) • [12](https://ent.sina.cn/2026-02-02/detail-inhkkeep7762350.d.html?wm=3049_0015) During filming at Hengdian, Louis Koo suffered several days of high fever from an unidentified virus and was hospitalized; after returning to Hong Kong he announced that he would stop making television dramas, and he did not take another TV role for the following 18 years.[13](https://www.zaobao.com.sg/zlifestyle/columns/story20190329-944083)\n\n## The 2018 web series\n\nA mainland remake titled *A Legend of A Modern Man Gets Back to Qin Dynasty* premiered on Youku on 18 January 2018, running 40 episodes. It stars Chen Xiang (陈翔) as Xiang Shaolong and Guo Xiaoting (郭晓婷) as Xing Yun / Qin Qing, with Niu Zihan as the Qin prince Zhao Pan; the director is Liu Guo Guan, and the production companies included Youku, Straw Bears Film, and Jiayi Film.[5](https://wiki.d-addicts.com/A_Step_into_the_Past_%282018%29) In this version, the astronaut Xiang Shaolong encounters a black hole during an accident aboard the spacecraft \"Nebula\" and arrives in Handan, in the State of Zhao, three years before Ying Zheng's enthronement.[14](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-bFLSc3D9Fc) The remake was adapted from the Louis Koo television version rather than from the novel.[1](https://www.cinespot.com/editorial/%E7%B7%A8%E8%BC%AF%E5%91%A8%E8%A8%98-25124) Critics received it poorly: a China News Service review grouped it with two other early-2018 costume dramas whose Douban scores stayed between 2 and 3, and criticized its special effects as having a toy-like, plastic quality compared with the 2001 series' science-fiction texture.[15](https://www.chinanews.com/yl/2018/02-06/8442472.shtml)\n\n## The 2025 film\n\nA feature film version, *Back to the Past* (寻秦记), directed by Wong Ying-hui and Lai Chun-lung with [Sammo Hung](https://www.edgepedia.org/sammo-hung) as action director, reunited the 2001 leads: Louis Koo, Raymond Lam, Jessica Hsuan, Sonija Kwok, and Joyce Tang, with Bai Baihe in a special starring role.[7](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=54jfn7g3lNE) Louis Koo had begun preparing the film years earlier, negotiating for the novel's rights, but funding problems and script dissatisfaction stalled the project until his company One Cool Film secured backing.[16](https://m.maoyan.com/moviedp/338414?_v_=yes&channelId=60008) Huang Yi died in 2017, and Koo said publicly that making the film was a way of commemorating him.[4](https://www.thepaper.cn/newsDetail_forward_20529570)\n\nThe film is set 25 years after the television series: Xiang Shaolong has withdrawn to rural life when an unknown time traveler arrives and threatens the Qin state, forcing the former king, now estranged from his old mentor, to seek his help again.[17](https://www.mgtv.com/h/818473.html) It runs 107 minutes and opened on 31 December 2025 in China and Malaysia, with subsequent limited releases in the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, and South Korea through 2026.[6](https://www.the-numbers.com/movie/Back-to-the-Past-%282025-Hong-Kong%29) It topped the single-day box office on [New Year's Eve](https://www.edgepedia.org/new-years-eve) 2025 and led the domestic chart over the first two days of the holiday before being narrowly overtaken.[18](https://www.chinafilmnews.cn/UploadFiles/file/20260114/202601141001215399.pdf) Industry estimates put the production cost at HK$300 to 350 million, while mainland box office stayed under 300 million RMB, short of the break-even line.[19](https://yule.360.com/detail/4897005) On Douban the film scored 6.5 with polarized reviews, which critics attributed to an imbalance between nostalgia and plot.[12](https://ent.sina.cn/2026-02-02/detail-inhkkeep7762350.d.html?wm=3049_0015) In January 2026, Louis Koo said a sequel had already been partly filmed, with further plans depending on box office performance.[20](https://cj.sina.com.cn/articles/view/5953190046/v162d6789e06702ijuq?froms=ggmp)\n\n## Legacy\n\nThe 2001 series is repeatedly identified as the ancestor of Chinese time-travel television drama, a genre that later became common on the mainland.[4](https://www.thepaper.cn/newsDetail_forward_20529570) A BBC Chinese report on the film's release quoted Chan Chi-ting, an assistant professor of cultural studies at the Hong Kong Metropolitan University, attributing the discussion around the property to nostalgia and to the pairing of Louis Koo and [Jessica Hsuan](https://www.edgepedia.org/jessica-hsuan), and noting that viewers born after 2000 had largely not seen the original series, limiting cross-generational discussion.[21](https://bbcinsight.pages.dev/zhongwen/articles/cx2kgkldvldo/simp) A Cinespot editorial observes that among the many versions, the Louis Koo series remains the most popular, and that the mainland web series took it, not the novel, as its blueprint.[1](https://www.cinespot.com/editorial/%E7%B7%A8%E8%BC%AF%E5%91%A8%E8%A8%98-25124)\n\n## References\n\n1.
