The Life of Mine
The Life of Mine
I’m a framer who has been trying to be a good person all my life, but as
a result, my wife betrayed me, my son died, and I switched to the police
force to survive… In a production that celebrates Bejing's cultural
heritage, Lao She's 1950s novella is performed in traditional Bejing
musical style by a Chinese troupe famous for interpreting his work. The
story takes the perspective of a common man who, despite his personal
struggles of loss and pain, continues to find love for the world.
