Xin Baiqing, actor, said, "The womanizing Zhenbao hardly leaves any good impression on readers' minds. But through this kind of cooperation, another side of Zhenbao, a sometimes innocent young man who pursues romance, can be revealed to the audience. "

Tian Qinxin, director, said, "It is not an easy job to adapt an Eileen Chang's novel into a stage play. Most of her works are written in the third person and describe a lot about people's mental activities. By using two actors to play one character, I want audience to see clearly about Zhenbao's inner conflicts. "

The drama is the award-winning director's tribute to her favorite novelist. Tian Qinxin's almost reverential treatment reveals itself in the fact that most of the dialogue is taken directly from the original work.

The drama debuted in 2007 and has toured dozens of cities around China. Everywhere it has arrived, the play has been passionately received by the huge army of Eileen Chang's admirers.
