About This Novel
"Teahouse" is one of Mr. Lao She's masterpieces and one of the classic plays of the Beijing People's Art Theatre. The story in the play takes place in a large teahouse called "Yutai" in Beijing. People come and go in the teahouse, and people of all colors and religions gather together. A large teahouse is like a small society. Through the description of the life changes of various characters in the teahouse, the whole play reveals the social outlook in three specific historical periods: the late Qing Dynasty, the early Republic of China, and the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, and reveals the opposition and conflicts between various social strata and several forces at that time. The work expresses the turmoil and dark reality of the semi-colonial and semi-feudal society of old China, and is an elegy for the old society.
