"The Cruel Confession of the Murderer" Zhuzhu died, leaving Yiyi one million. When Yi Yi left Taiwan, she had forced herself to let go of everything.

Although Hu Die’s "Shi Shi Ling" is bound by the strict metrical form of the traditional Kunqu opera script, it has a strong contemporary free thinking and a multi-faceted historical perspective. It creates a mirrored contrast with the encounter between Li Shishi and Li Qingzhao, and through the female's historical context Encounter, review the subject's self-realization. Deng Shichang’s "A ray of incense" uses "cockroaches" as a metaphor to explore the inextricable family mission and fate of cigarettes. On the one hand, it has the thrilling fun and black humor of Kafka’s "Transformation" in form. On the other hand, in thinking, But it is firmly tied to the family blood in the Chinese society, as well as the permanent proposition of the continuation of tradition, or, more differently, it extends to greater political fables and the hidden worries of the times. This is also the script of this simple form, which is entirely linguistic. It's a place that makes people feel low. Li Yizhu’s "The Words of Falling Man" uses the external narrative form of "speaking of the ancient" to talk about the past and the present in the historical context of fiction and reality. We enter the theater time and space where narration and acting are free to go in and out. In this episode of the script, the three playwrights are not very old, but they all have deep and contemplative old souls in their bones. They crawl through history and legends, examine families and nationalities, and dig deep in the superficial political superficiality. The dialogue between souls creates a new drama under the contemporary vision, which is worthy of our careful reading. ____________________ In 2019, Li Pingyao's "You Can Be Pet", Zhou Yuxuan's "Fragrant Entanglement", Qiu Xiaoqian, Chen Litang (Music) "The Female Ghost and the City God".
