The play covers three periods of social upheaval, and reflects the vicissitudes of life for the people of Beijing in these turbulent times. In Act 1, 1898, China is governed by corrupt and weakening imperial Quing rulers. In Act 2, 1918, The Emperor has been overthrown and China is a republic, but the people are at the mercy of contending warlords. In Act 3, 1947, The Nationalists arrive after eight years of Japanese occupation but corruption is rampant and life is harder than ever before. |
