The show is based on the song and dance evening show "My Dream" performed by the China Disabled People's Performing Arts Troupe, and expands and integrates the artistic elements of the world cultural heritage Dunhuang murals. The plot is based on the "Thousand-armed and Thousand-eyed Guanyin Sutra Transformation" in Cave 3 of the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang, which is themed on Guanyin, and the folk story of "Miaoshan Saves Her Father" is the main line. It conducts artistic exploration in the plot, music, dance, multimedia and other aspects that are full of contemporary features. With the rich dance vocabulary and boundless appeal of the artists of the China Disabled People's Performing Arts Troupe, it presents a high-end performance with Dunhuang's unique cultural charm, profound humanistic feelings and unique artistic aesthetics to Chinese and foreign audiences.

Miao Shan, whose ancestors moved to Dunhuang, a border town in the northern desert, worked from sunrise to sunset with her family. One day, her father suddenly got a strange disease that she had never seen before. Seeing her father in great pain, Miao Shan prayed to Guanyin to bless her and save her father. After going through many hardships, Miao Shan used great courage, perseverance and wisdom to find three medicinal ingredients, including the crescent fish grass and the peacock's colorful feathers, and finally cured her father. Miao Shan gave up her six senses, including her hands and eyes, and finally achieved perfection with the Thousand-Handed and Thousand-Eyed Guanyin.

Thousand-armed Avalokitesvara is a ray of light, and also the bodhicitta in Miaoshan's heart. The thousand hands symbolize the protection of all living beings, and the thousand eyes symbolize the observation of all things. The thousand hands are the hands of everyone, and the thousand eyes are the eyes of everyone. With compassion in the heart, imperfections can be achieved.

Looking back at the thousand-year-old Silk Road legend, it is integrated into the Chinese culture. A song of great love comes from the Chinese civilization and cultural confidence. Songs come from the heart, dances come from the heart, dreaming of Dunhuang, and fulfilling dreams of Dunhuang!
