Before liberation, Longxugou in Beijing was a stinking ditch filled with all kinds of inferior working people who worked hard and played tricks. These residents are often persecuted by the Kuomintang, bullied by bullies and threatened by bad environment, and their lives are miserable.
Cheng, a decent old artist in "Honest Man", used to sing "Immortal Immortal" in a teahouse, but he was injured by his men because he refused to give a concert at the bully's black whirlwind house. He fled to Longxugou and lived on his wife, Mrs. Cheng. Cheng is full of worries and resentment, but people don't understand him and call him crazy. Only Mrs. Cheng Canfu bears the burden of humiliation. I hope her husband can wait until the day when he goes out again.
Little bully Feng Gouzi robbed Mrs. Cheng of her cigarettes. Ding Si, a tricycle driver in the same hospital, was also bullied by bullies. Lao Zhao Man, an upright bricklayer, is keen on them, which is not helpful.
Soon, Ding Si's daughter Xiaozi fell into the dirty and smelly Longxugou and was drowned. After liberation, Longxugou was reborn with Beijing. The people * * * brought the bully Black Whirlwind and Feng Gouzi to justice, governed Longxugou, and the people along Longxugou lived a happy life. The film describes the different life experiences of people living in the same area in the old society and the new society, and praises the great achievements of * * * and the people in caring for the people, seeking benefits for the people and making them live a better life.
The drama Longxugou is one of Lao She's representative works. The play was completed in 1950 and premiered in Beijing People's Art Theatre in February, directed by Jiao Juyin.
Lao She 1949 returned from the United States in February, and was elected as the chairman of Beijing Federation of Literary and Art Circles in June the following year. I have just arrived in New China, and my enthusiasm is high. Lao She once stood on the platform of the National People's Congress and said passionately, "I am a person without party affiliation. However, I have pie today. What kind of pie? Goethe school. " He began to write two plays, Fang Mingzhu and Longxugou. The influential one is Longxugou. Lao She said, "I will guard the stinking ditch and praise the people for repairing it." . Even if I am not mature, I will reflect. "Reflect that it must have life, and Mr. Lao She is old, his legs are cold, it is not convenient to walk, and his right hand is always holding a crutch. He can't go down often, so the leader of people's art sent a messenger from Lin Jinlan to interview him. Find the material and give it to Lao She. This method is called "three combinations", that is, leaders produce ideas, people produce life, and writers produce skills. Lin Jinlan became a bridge between people and writers. When Lin Jinlan arrived at the slum near the goldfish pond, he smelled a bad smell. Low-lying, rainy and dirty things enter the house, and people should stand on the kang. The ditch has not been built yet! But the material still needs to be "found".
Lin Jinlan of Longxugou said that after Lao She wrote Longxugou, Jiao Juyin, who teaches at Beijing Normal University, was invited to be the director. Jiao is a teacher with great artistic talent. He thinks Longxugou is too thin to play. After repeated efforts, Jiao Juyin finally agreed to let the directors and actors * * * enrich the play.
"People are sick, and God knows whether it is" (Chen Tushou) said that after the publication of Longxugou, people in the industry did not think it was straightforward and politicized. Zhou Enlai thinks this is exactly what the Party needs. If the regime wants to take root in the city, it can't just let people learn editorials, but also need the help of literary and artistic works. Zhou Enlai bluntly said that Longxugou helped him a lot, and hoped that Zhou Yang would come out and praise him. Zhou Yang wanted to give Lao She the title of "People's Artist", but some writers and theorists from the liberated areas were unconvinced and thought that Lao She had just returned from America and had never participated in the revolutionary struggle. Peng Zhen said, let Beijing publish it. Longxugou is about Beijing.
His works influenced 1 95 1 year. Lao She was awarded the title of "People's Artist" for his excellent drama Longxugou.
About the author: Lao She (1February 3, 899-1August 24, 966), a representative of Beijing School, was born in Xiaoyangquan, Xicheng, Beijing, at the age of 67, with another pen name, such as Qing Qing, Hong Lai, Fei Ming and other Manchu, an old Beijinger,1August 3, 899. My father, a Manchu guard, died in the street fighting when Eight-Nation Alliance attacked Beijing. He used to be a primary school principal, a middle school teacher and a university professor. He used to be a professor at Shandong University and other well-known universities. China, a modern novelist, dramatist and famous writer, was awarded the title of "People's Artist" for his many works. Because Lao She was born in beginning of spring in the lunar calendar, his parents named him "Chun Qing", which may mean celebrating the arrival of spring and having a bright future. After school, I changed my name to Shu Sheyu, which means "give up on yourself", that is, "forget me". Believing in Christianity, Manchu in Beijing is a red flag man. [ 1]
Lao She's pen name was first used in the novel Lao Zhang's Philosophy. During the Cultural Revolution, he was wronged and drowned in Taiping Lake, Beijing, because he could not bear the unprovoked slander and repeated mental and physical torture of the rebels. 195 1 At the beginning of the year, the drama Longxugou was staged and was a great success. 1966, Lao She was forced to sink into Taiping Lake in Beijing due to vicious attacks and persecution during the Cultural Revolution.

His works are included in The Complete Works of Lao She. The main works of my life are:. Camel Xiangzi, Four Generations under One Family, Unfinished under the Red Flag, Dramatic Longxugou, Teahouse, etc. Lao She worked selflessly all her life. He is a well-deserved "model worker" in the literary and art circles.
