About This Novel
The teahouse owner Wang Lifa wanted to make his father's teahouse prosperous, so he socialized in all directions, but the harsh reality made him often ridiculed and eventually swallowed up by the ruthless society; Qin Zhongyi, a national capitalist who often frequented teahouses, went from being ambitious to save the country through industry to going bankrupt; the bold Fourth Master Chang, a disciple of the Eight Banners, embarked on the road of self-reliance after the fall of the Qing Dynasty. The story in the play all takes place in a teahouse in Beijing. People come and go in the teahouse, and people of all colors and religions gather together. A big teahouse is like a small society. As a classic Chinese drama and one of Mr. Lao She's masterpieces, this book appropriately reflects the style of an era in concise language. Impressive and thought provoking.
