Following the publication of "Memories of a Drama Career", Comrade Wang Yijun's new work "Memories of a Drama Career" is available to readers again. The two books are sisters that follow the same origin and are connected from top to bottom. The focus of the upper part is on recalling, recalling plays, recalling people, and recalling things. The book tells the story of the Caotai opera troupe artists in the old society who were "homeless and homeless" and had a precarious wandering acting career. It reveals that the feudal superstitions and stereotypes in the old opera troupe were the spiritual shackles that restricted the fate of the artists. It also records many little-known anecdotes in the theater circle. The book also criticizes the shocking discrepancy between the old system and the dismissal of artists who worked hard to create a splendid national drama culture as "low-class". The author enthusiastically eulogizes the infinite joy and happiness brought about by the liberation of the "old artists" and the great turning point in their destiny, and the spring of blooming flowers brought by the reform and opening up to the drama stage.
