Synopsis

"Teahouse" is a three-act drama created in 1957 by Mr. Lao She, a master of modern Chinese literature and people's artist. It is known as a landmark classic in the history of Chinese drama and enjoys the reputation of "a miracle on the Oriental stage". With its grand historical vision, exquisite characterization, profound thematic implications and strong Beijing flavor, this work has become the pinnacle representative of Chinese realist drama. It is still frequently performed today, shocking generations of audiences. The script takes a large teahouse called "Yutai" in Beijing as the core of the stage. Through the teahouse owner Wang Lifa, the central character throughout, and the various religions and people who come in and out of the teahouse - such as the national capitalist Qin Zhongyi who saves the country through industry, the upright and strong bannerman Chang Siye, the insidious and cunning spy thugs Wu Xiangzi and Song Enzi, the human trafficker Liu Mazi, the physiognomist Tang Tiezui, and the foreign teacher Ma Wuye , Eunuch Pang, bankrupt farmer Kang Shunzi and his son, etc. - The changes in fate and the rise and fall of the teahouse itself in three different historical periods (after the failure of the Reform Movement of 1898 in the late Qing Dynasty, the warlord war period in the early years of the Republic of China, and the rule of the Kuomintang after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War), and the rise and fall of the teahouse itself, highly condensed display of the violent turmoil, profound changes in Chinese society and the survival of all living beings in the nearly fifty years from the end of the 19th century to the middle of the 20th century.
