The original production comes out of a large number of professional masters in the industry. According to Yu Rongjun, the writer, who has more than 50 stage productions translated into English, German, Spanish and other languages,“the play is a letter I write to China of the 1920s and also a family letter to Shanghai’s transformation era and even a love letter to myself of 30 years ago.”
