At the beginning of its creation, Teahouse was actually the first act of Three Brothers of Qin, a work created by Lao She. At the suggestion of the first generation of Beijing artists such as Cao Yu and Jiao Juyin, Mr. Lao She expanded and adapted this scene, and now it is a three-act drama Teahouse. Many of these bridges have absorbed the suggestions of many old artists. For example, in the third act, the last scene of three old people throwing paper money is the part that Mr. Lao She unfolded after listening to Mr. Yu Shizhi's question that the ending was not satisfactory enough. Therefore, Teahouse is an artistic treasure of Beijingers, and it is absolutely deserved.
Teahouse has only three acts, but it has written three periods respectively. Through various vivid descriptions of the fate of the characters, it reflects the nearly 50-year history from the failure of the Reform Movement of 1898 to the eve of the collapse of the Kuomintang regime after War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression's victory, reveals the darkness and decay of old China, truly shows the miserable life of the broad masses at that time, and highlights the theme of "destroying the three old" respectively.
In these three old times, the broad masses of the people could not get rid of the oppression of feudalism, bureaucratic capitalism and imperialism and lived in dire straits. The broad masses of the people are deeply poisoned by feudal decadent ideas. In the old society where I suffered greatly, only my own grief and indignation were so pale and helpless in the old society where people ate people. Only by overthrowing the old society and establishing a new one is the way out for China.
This period of history reflected in the drama Teahouse is a microcosm of the old society in China, and it is an indictment of the blood and tears in the old society, so that we can't forget the sufferings of the broad masses of people in the old society in the past, and cherish the hard-won happy life that the people of China and China exchanged with their blood and lives. Taking history as a mirror, we can know the rise and fall. Bearing this history in mind will inspire us to unswervingly adhere to the Socialism with Chinese characteristics road under the leadership of China and work hard to build a prosperous, strong, democratic and civilized socialist new China with our own practical actions.
The teahouse is really good and has a high reputation. It is worth seeing.
