Among the many types who appear on the stage are the heroine, Chen Pai-lu, who leads a parasitic life, a speculating banker, a mean and crafty bank clerk, a ''Ph.D.'' who speaks only in a foreign language, an ineffective intellectual, an oppressed employee, and prostitutes who have to swallow all insults... The author unsparingly exposes and denounces the dark and evil social system under Kuomintang reactionary rule and also prophesies that rotten society's inevitable doom.''The play has been staged many times in China and has enjoyed immense popularity.This book includes many stage photographs of the play as presented by the Peking People's Art Theater.
