The masterpiece of Nobel Prize winner and Italian playwright Dario Fo has been performed around the world for more than 40 years and has been watched by more than 1 million people. Meng Jinghui, Lai Shengchuan, and Jin Shijie have all personally directed and performed the Chinese version of the stage play, and the theaters were full. A comedy genius on par with Molière, a master of improvisation on par with Chaplin, an idol that Meng Jinghui paid homage to throughout his life, a troubadour who created for the common people and the oppressed. In 1969, a bombing occurred at Milan train station. An anarchist was accused of being the murderer. During the interrogation, he suddenly jumped to his death. Dario Fo reacted quickly to the incident and wrote the play after careful investigation. A "madman" suffering from actor's syndrome accidentally came into contact with materials about the "accidental death" of anarchists at the police station. He adapted to the situation and disguised himself as a representative of the Supreme Court to review the case and finally gained insight into the inside story. The so-called "accidental death" turned out to be the police who tortured the anarchist to extract a confession, beat him to death and threw him out of the window, creating the illusion of committing suicide out of fear of crime.
