I found myself begin to love drama play recently influenced by my friend. She is really a big fan of drama art. She usually asks leave and goes some cities by air or train just for a play show. The last drama I watched with her was changhenge. We booked admissions 2 months ago and were very looking forward to it. Actually it didn’t let us down. We are lucy enough to find the cast was stronger than we had imagined. All the artists and artresses performanced very well. The story is about the whole life of an old ShangHai lady. She won the Miss Shanghai when she was 16 years old. After that she became the mistress of an officer. The officer bought her a house but unfortunately died by air accident…

I found myself starting to love drama / theater plays recently, after being influenced by my friend. She is a really big fan of drama art. She usually asks for leave and goes to various cities by air or train just to catch a show. The last play I saw with her was Chang Hen Ge. We booked tickets two months ago and waited excitedly for the day of the play. It certainly didn’t let us down. We were lucky enough to see that the cast had / was made up of a lot more impressive names than we had imagined. All the actors performed very well. The story is about the life of a Shanghai belle from birth in 1930 to her death in 1986. She won third place in the Miss Shanghai contest when she was 16 years old. After that she became the mistress of an officer. The officer bought her a house but he unfortunately died in an air crash…
