About This Novel

This book is Lao She's classic drama. Friends who like Lao She's works should not miss it. "Teahouse" is structured into three acts. It takes the rise and fall of a large teahouse called Yutai in old Beijing as the background, and shows the social landscape of Beijing and the life changes of different people from all walks of life in the nearly 50 years from the late Qing Dynasty to the Beiyang Warlord period and then to the victory of the Anti-Japanese War. Each scene describes an era, with people from all walks of life in Beijing coming in and out of this big teahouse. What the whole play displays are magnificent historical pictures, vividly explaining the inevitable demise of old China and the inevitability of the birth of new China. There are nearly 50 characters appearing in the script. There are many characters but distinct personalities. You can "know the person by hearing their voice" and "outline the outline of a character in a few words." The work depicts the dismal management of the ancestral "Yutai Teahouse" by teahouse owner Wang Lifa. Although he is shrewd, tactful, and devoted, he is ultimately unable to stop the decline. It reflects the trend of Chinese society from the side.
