Lao She's Overview of the Original Works

The story tells that Wang Lifa, the owner of the teahouse, entertained his father everywhere in order to make his teahouse business prosperous, but the harsh reality made him often ridiculed. Finally, it was swallowed up by a ruthless society. Qin, a national capitalist who frequented teahouses, went from ambitious industrial salvation to bankruptcy, and the generous children of the Eight Banners often embarked on the road of self-reliance after the demise of the Qing Dynasty. The story also reveals the living conditions of some small people, such as pockmarked Liu.

Based on the rise and fall of a big teahouse in old Beijing, the whole play shows people the social features of Beijing and the different fates of people from all walks of life during the 50 years from the late Qing Dynasty to the victory of the Anti-Japanese War. In the era when the Qing Dynasty was about to perish, Yutai Teahouse in Beijing was still a "prosperous" scene, with a young and shrewd shopkeeper, Wang Lifa, in charge of all parties. However, behind this "prosperity" lies the suffocating decline of the whole society: foreign goods flooded the market, the countryside went bankrupt, eunuchs married, and patriots were arrested.

Thirty years later, the Kuomintang and American imperialism plunged the people into the disaster of civil war. Jeeps went on the rampage, patriots were suppressed, and rogue agents wanted to occupy the teahouse that Wang Zhanggui had painstakingly managed all his life. Wang Lifa was desperate. At this time, two friends who made friends fifty years ago happened to come, and finally Wang Lifa was left alone. He picked up his belt, walked into the inner room, looked up at the roof, and looked for a place where he could safely end his life.

Extended data

The Teahouse written by Mr. Lao She has spanned another fifty years. It reflects not only the point and face of society, but also the depth of the time axis, which is a three-dimensional change of the times. From the failure of the Reform Movement of 1898 in the first act, to the Republic of China in the second act 20 years later, and then to the victory in the third act 30 years later.

People in teahouses grow old with time, and what happens in teahouses has distinct characteristics of each era, but it is closely related to the past and the future. Whether the plot is reasonable or unexpected, whether the story makes people smile or sigh, it just reflects the style of an era.

A society can be reduced and projected into a small teahouse by Mr. Lao She. In this stage that "small is not a novel, big is not a big deal", ordinary people become the protagonists, and the three protagonists of the series show-Wang Zhanggui, Mr. Qin and Mr. Chang, except the shopkeeper, play a series of stories in every scene.

The life changes of Master Song and Master Chang were put behind the scenes. However, chewing these people's experiences carefully is actually the best reflection of people's helplessness in that turbulent era.
