Having just wrapped up the distribution of Philosopher King: Lee Teng-hui's Dialogue, in the summer of 2020, when the COVID-19 pandemic was raging, Director Sonoda felt continuous intuition that he had to create a work of art about Xi Jinping, and in October of that year, he began writing the screenplay.

​

In the summer of 2021, the production team launched a crowdfunding campaign to raise funds for production, calling for support mainly through social media and YouTube, and were successful in obtaining a portion of the funds. They filmed the Wakayama part in the fall of that year.

​

In the spring of 2022, they once again achieved crowdfunding. They shot the remaining parts that summer in Izu Oshima, Niijima, Shizuoka, Gifu, Chiba, Saitama, Tokyo, and Kanagawa.

​

In early 2023, they failed in their third crowdfunding attempt to raise funds for post-production, but were able to continue production with a donation from a benefactor.

​

They aimed to complete the film in the fall of 2023, but delays in animation production put the project on hold. The post-production was resumed in early 2025 and completed in the summer of that year.
