[Edit this paragraph] [Main content]

One summer in the 1920s, the climate was sultry, there was no sunshine outside, the sky was dark, and a storm was coming. The owner of Zhoufu has been busy with official business because of dealing with the miners' strike, and has not seen his wife after returning home. Sifeng, the maid in the living room, is filtering medicine. Her father Gui Lu even drank and gambled yesterday and owed money to others. He had the cheek to ask his daughter for money. "If you don't give it, I'll make your affair with that gentleman public." Sifeng had no choice but to give him money to send him away. Gui Lu was so happy that he told Sifengjun Zhou Ping that he had an incestuous relationship with his stepmother Fan Yi. Just then, Fan Yi walked into the living room and asked Sifeng about Mr. Zhou Ping. When the wife asked, she became more nervous. The wife invited her mother again, wondering what she was worried about.

At this moment, Fan Yi's son Zhou Chong came skipping. He told his mother that he wanted to give Sifeng half the tuition and let her go to school because he was madly in love with Sifeng. Just then, his drought-striken fields walked into the living room. He said that he would leave home tomorrow and go to the mine to talk to his father.

His drought-striken fields are the children of Zhou Puyuan and a maid of his family. At that time, he was a gentleman of a feudal bureaucratic family and fell in love with Mei Shiping, the daughter of his servant Ma Mei. Shi Ping gave birth to two sons for him. Because Zhou's father didn't agree with this marriage, he was kicked out of the house on the third day after giving birth to his second child. She braved the snowstorm with her child in her arms and jumped into the river. Hou Zhou's family moved several times.

Yi Fan is Zhou Puyuan's second wife. She is only seven years older than Zhou Ping. She is pale, with beautiful facial contour and melancholy eyes. She was neurotic and couldn't get any warmth, so she fell in love with the weak Zhou Ping. Fan Yi asked Sifeng's mother Ma Lu to let her take Sifeng away and get his drought-striken fields back.

After lunch, the weather became more gloomy. His drought-striken fields went into the living room and made a sign. Sifeng ran in from the outside. They agreed to meet Sifeng at night 1 1. Fan Yi hopes that his drought-striken fields can be with him. She accused Zhou Ping of seducing her, so that her mother was not like her mother and her mistress was not like her mistress. Zhou Ping said coldly, "If you think you are not my father's wife, I will admit that I am my father's son." "I hope this conversation will be our last." She said to his drought-striken fields, "You can't just abandon me. I can't be bullied by the Zhou family for two generations. I want you to taste the power of a woman when she is injured. "

Ma Lu, accompanied by Sifeng, went to the living room. She is Mei Shiping who threw herself into the river. She was not dead, but saved. Later, she was married twice, both of which were inferior. She never imagined that thirty years ago, she served master Zhou, and thirty years later, her daughter served master Zhou again.

Zhou Puyuan walked into the living room, and Shi Ping's Wuxi accent caught his attention. After questioning, he recognized Shi Ping. Before that, he missed Shi Ping very much. Everything in the room was arranged according to Shi Ping's existence, but when Shi Ping stood in front of him, he snapped, "What are you doing here?" "Who sent you?" Shi Ping replied angrily: "Life, unfair life sent me here." Zhou Puyuan decided to settle their differences with money. Shi Ping tore a check for 5000 yuan in person, saying that she just wanted to meet his Pinger.

Then the strike representative Lu Dahai broke in. He is the second son of Shi Ping and Zhou Puyuan. Zhou Puyuan took out the contract and prepared to return to work. It turned out that he used money to buy off several other strike representatives and prepared to expel Lu Dahai. Lu Dahai angrily revealed that when he was cleaning up the Harbin River Bridge, he deliberately let the levee go out of danger, drowned more than 3,000 workers and made a fortune without children. His drought-striken fields slapped Lu Dahai, and Shi Ping saw the fatal tragedy of his father and son.

In the evening, there was lightning and thunder, and it was stormy. Zhou Chong's mother ordered her to send 100 yuan to Shi Ping. Sifeng refused to accept it, but Gui Lu had the cheek to accept it. Lu Dahai knew about it, returned the money to Zhou Chong with Gui Lu, and drove Zhou Chong out of the house. His drought-striken fields also came to lujia in the rain, and his drought-striken fields jumped into Sifeng's room from the window. Fan Yi, who followed him, closed the window and went into the room to get things. The sea found his drought-striken fields, and Sifeng fled in shame.

Shi Ping and Lu Dahai came to Zhou Mansion to find Sifeng. Shi Ping wants to take Sifeng home. Sifeng had to tell Shi Ping the truth. It was like a bolt from the blue that she was pregnant with Zhou Ping's child. They are half brothers. At the pleading of Sifeng, she promised to let his drought-striken fields take Sifeng away and never see them again.

Fan Yi took Zhou Chong to stop his drought-striken fields from taking away the four phoenixes, and Zhou Puyuan also heard the sound. He thought Shi Ping had come to recognize his son and asked his drought-striken fields to kneel down and recognize his birth mother. The harsh reality made Sifeng unbearable. She rushed to the garden and died when she touched a leaking wire. Zhou Chong was electrocuted to save her. His drought-striken fields shot himself, and two women went crazy.

Thunderstorm was written on 1933. Two years ago, the September 18th Incident of Japanese invasion of China just broke out. The whole country set off an anti-Japanese upsurge. Cao Yu also actively participated in anti-Japanese propaganda. Lu Dahai in Thunderstorm is the shadow of a thoughtful and intelligent young worker Cao Yu met in Baoding.

[Edit this paragraph] [Significance of thunderstorm]

Thunderstorm is Cao Yu's first artistic life, and it also marks the maturity of modern drama. The publication of Thunderstorm shocked the literary world. At this time, Cao Yu was only 22 years old. In addition, his four classic masterpieces Thunderstorm, Sunrise, Yuan Ye and Peking Man all appeared on thousands of stages in various ways and were deeply interpreted by different people.

Thunderstorm makes full use of the "three unifications". The story of eight characters from two families in just one day involves past grievances, and it is still confusing. In the narrow stage, it not only highlights the contradiction between ethics and class, but also highlights the strong disharmony between individuals and the environment and the times, and completes the characterization in various fierce conflicts. In fact, tragedy has long been lurking in every line and every foreshadowing, and it only broke out at the last minute, turning into a downpour, which shocked everyone's soul extremely strongly.

The script is characterized by gripping plot, concise and implicit language, distinctive characters and extremely rich subtext. Like a sharp sword, it glides slowly on the reader's heartstrings, and the lingering sound does not stop. Thunderstorm pays special attention to sound and color effects in the description of natural scenery and portraits, and does not hesitate to express it with strong colors. At the same time, pay attention to the exaggerated treatment of the voice, smell and eyes of the characters.

[Edit this paragraph] [Character interpretation]

The image of Fan Yi

Yi Fan is the most distinctive and distinctive figure in Thunderstorm. She is a new female representative who pursues women's liberation and strives for independence and freedom since the May 4th Movement. She dares to love and hate, fearing that the Zhou family doesn't care. Of course, her resistance to the old system was manifested in a deformed way. Under heavy pressure, she is often helpless, inferior and even self-abused. This is a weakness that Fan Yi cannot get rid of. As the author said, she fell into "a cruel well". The author made great efforts to describe the inner world of this character. She felt unbearable for the vulgar and monotonous life of the Zhou family, tired of this gloomy atmosphere and mentally bound, and she demanded to get rid of all this. In a sense, she is also an insulted and hurt person. The script made her develop abnormally in an irresistible environment: love turned into hate and stubbornness turned into madness. The significance of tragedy is more profound and prominent. The tragic image of Fan Yi is a great contribution of Cao Yu to modern drama, which profoundly conveys the theme of anti-feudalism and personality liberation in the May 4th Movement. In the play, Fan Yi experienced her whole spiritual journey in the double tragic conflict. In this tragic woman, Cao Yu's outstanding artistic talent shines brilliantly.

Zhou Chong and Sifeng.

Zhou Chong is a young man who grew up under the influence of new ideas and new culture. He is naturally full of fantasy and romance. However, his tenacity and lack of stubborn understanding of the feudal system doomed his tragic fate. Zhou Chong and Sifeng are the most unbearable victims in the whole play. They are the same pure and clear, so yearning for sweet love and full of enthusiasm for the future. Their bright eyes can't see the rough waves hidden in the darkness, they only outline the outline of happiness. When their childishness was broken in the face of cruel reality, the old clock had already rung. Sifeng fell in love with his drought-striken fields, but was involved in a storm. She is a young and energetic person, but a series of blows have made her fate bumpy and difficult. In fact, Zhou Chonghua is more innocent than Sifeng. It seems that he is just a child, without the maturity of his drought-striken fields and the sin of Zhou Puyuan. He has some thoughts that he should have at his age, simple and honest. Even when he knew that Sifeng was in love with his brother, he was not as jealous as Fan Yi, but he still had a persistent attitude towards Sifeng. After Sifeng rushed out, she did not hesitate to save her, which led to her electrocution.

Lu Dahai's character

Lu Dahai is a young worker with thoughts and actions. He is straightforward, simple but clear-headed. He is a rude man. He hates capitalists, so he will face Zhou Puyuan directly, count all her sins and speak frankly. We can also read his sense of justice from his words. The working class he represents will be the vanguard of the proletarian revolution in China. They are thunderstorms and lightning, which will destroy the dark and fading old system. This is also the author's original intention. And fought resolutely against Zhou Puyuan, showing his spirit of resistance. But after all, Cao Yu is not familiar with workers, so the image of Lu Dahai is thinner than others.

Zhou Ping's character.

Zhou Ping, he can be said to be a contradictory person. He has a reverence for his father and dare not go against his words. He is also depressed in this family, otherwise it is impossible to have feelings with his stepmother. However, the appearance of Sifeng made him feel angry and youthful-this is what he longed for. He wanted to get rid of the interference of many orders, so he decided to leave home. It can be seen that he is still a person who dares not face the problem and tries his best to escape the difficulties. But he's a coward. He's a total coward. Only by this, he will never be worthy of Fan Yi. In the end, the fact before him made him choose death-the best way to escape.

Brief introduction of Zhou Puyuan

Zhou Puyuan is the central figure in the play. He is a new capitalist image, which has both bourgeois freedom and equality and feudal autocracy. She was 55 when she debuted and went abroad to study in the 1980s and 1990s. /kloc-in the 0/9th century, the European socialist trend of thought rose. Germany is the hometown of Marx. The influence of university region and historical background on their life trajectory. From Wuxi to Harbin, and then to Tianjin, the center of gravity of commercial location gradually rises.

It was Zhou Puyuan who consciously erased the memory of the rich woman, and even had some hostility towards her, which made him give up Shi Ping and social confrontation, and then embarked on the road of submission.

In Zhou Puyuan's mind, right, reputation and order are the most important things. At this time, he will only use money to appease Shi Ping, and his psychology has become indifferent and emotional distortion. The Old Man in the preface and conclusion shows the return of Zhou Puyuan's nature. I can't see the tenacity of personality in the old man. His eyes are calm and worried. He desperately thinks that his only son is dead. He just watches the fire. From this, the author's sadness about the fate of the characters is entrusted. The author has a faint warmth towards Zhou Puyuan, bearing the shadow of his parents. His personality characteristics are mainly manifested through his relationship with two female images, Shi Ping and Fan Yi, and with Lu Dahai. He is a man with a deep heart, and he has one side that all capitalists in society had at that time: insidious, cunning and hypocritical. From Lu Dahai's accusations against him, we can clearly understand that everything he did was for his own benefit, even at the expense of others' lives. Through the relationship between Zhou Puyuan and Shi Ping, the author mainly examines his history, and through his relationship with Fan Yi, shows his performance as a feudal autocratic parent in reality. His relationship with Lu Dahai and Gui Lu supplemented his essential characteristics as a capitalist from different aspects.

Some characters in the play are also remarkable. Despite the difficult situation, Lu Shiping persisted through the most difficult period of her life with her strong personality. It can be said that she is a tenacious woman. Shi Ping's silence made us dare not ignore fate in the same silence. On the contrary, Shi Ping's life experience sounded the tragic death knell of Thunderstorm: she tore up the most valuable things for people to see. As a lower class woman in the old society, Shi Ping's life has always been divided into two parts: half belongs to her husband; Half of them belong to children. She hopes to get the love and understanding of others in her silent and selfless dedication, so as to confirm the value of her existence. Gui Lu is an ordinary nobody in the bourgeoisie. He is greedy for money, and he wants his daughter to find a rich man's treacherous face, which is beyond doubt in his words.

The creative center of Thunderstorm was originally Fan Yi, but in the historical environment at that time, due to Lu Dahai's opposition to the workers' movement in Zhou Puyuan, this contradiction was amplified and continued, which made people's understanding of Thunderstorm deviate from Cao Yu's original intention.
