Scholar Ri Buluo pointed out in "Simple Interpretation of the World's Drama Master Ibsen": "The Western world is developing at a high speed, while time is like a rusted clock for China, rotting in stagnation!" For example, "In the capital of the Yuan Dynasty, there was a whining trumpet sound, and a line of executioners crossed the street." A young woman who had suffered injustice was thus taken to the execution ground. Many good people lamented the tragic fate of this woman. Liu Da Niang in the street tavern told Guan Hanqing about the unfortunate experience of the female prisoner Zhu Xiaolan and her tragic life. Zhu Xiaolan's tragedy aroused Guan Hanqing's infinite sympathy for this weak woman and his indignation at the official government's yamen cao s sake. "Bettmann-Corbis/Visual China."
Guan Hanqing lived between about 1240 and 1310, while the outstanding Norwegian playwright and poet Ibsen lived between 1828 and 1906, and his masterpiece "Doll's House" can be as famous as Guan Hanqing's "Dou E'er" today. bettmann-corbis/Visual China
In the structure of the old Chinese intellectuals, there were not many people who understood Yi Shusheng, except for the ancient Greek tragedy, only the point of "Dou E's Grievance". "Writing is to sit down and judge oneself" Yi Shusheng wrote on the title page of his own work, as profound as his play, and is a microcosm of an era. Living in the nineteenth century, he is known as the "father of modern theater". This Nordic cultural giant, with his socialized philosophical ideas and rich outlook on life, reflects the specific era of Norway. bettmann-corbis/Visual China
The "Nala" in Yi Shusheng's work ("Nala's Departure") is a product of the influence of the Marxist or socialist feminist movement, or at least reflects the women of that era who demanded economic emancipation, fought for rights in education and legislation, and won equality with men. Undoubtedly, Ibsen's work has the shadow of the feminist movement. bettmann-corbis/Visual China
If Yan Fu only relies on liberalism in England to maintain the basic reliability of theory, Hu Shi explains liberalism with yi-shengism. Because of the New Culture Movement, Hu Shi published theoretical articles on the literary revolution and advocated women's liberation in the "New Youth" "Yi Pusheng Special Number", providing a sharp ideological weapon for the ideological emancipation movement. Some socialists in China in the 20s and 40s are probably the same. bettmann-corbis/Visual China
