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.

The script of "Whip" (drama, also known as "Fog in Chongqing") describes a group of young people who fled to Chongqing. Due to their poverty and poverty, some were fortune tellers, some were socialites, and some opened restaurants. Some of them died of tuberculosis because they were not good at flattery, some of them made a fortune through smuggling, and they fell into ruin, or some of them had their reputations ruined at the hands of politicians. The author angrily reveals that Chongqing, the "capital capital" much promoted by the Kuomintang, is nothing more than a flowery world for the Kuomintang's high-ranking officials and a den of sin that corrodes the hearts of young people and weakens the will to fight against Japan. This is the first excellent realist drama since the Anti-Japanese War that profoundly exposes the criminal society in the Kuomintang-ruled areas.
