Thunderstorm, a drama created by Cao Yu, takes China society around 1925 as the background and describes the tragedy of a bourgeois family with strong feudal color.

In the play, there are two families, eight characters and thirty years' feud as the main line, Zhou Puyuan, a hypocritical capitalist, Zhou Chong, a simple teenager influenced by new ideas, and Fan Yi, a woman who is driven crazy by an indifferent family and hurt to pieces by love.

Zhou Ping, who feels guilty about his past actions and tries to escape, Ma Lu, who came back unexpectedly, Sifeng, who simply loves and is loved, the oppressed worker and the insatiable housekeeper Lu Dahai, etc. While describing family contradictions and entanglements, it reflects deeper social and times problems and attacks decadent and stubborn feudal families.
