Joys and sorrows

Homegrown drama Wo Tou Hui Guan, performed by the Beijing People's Art Theater, will start a new round of performances at the Capital Theater, after being staged nearly 100 times since 2009. Five of the best actors and actresses in China star in the play: actors He Bing, Yang Lixin and Pu Cunxin and actresses Song Dandan and Xu Fan.

The drama takes place one year before the peaceful liberation of Beijing in a courtyard called "Wo Tou Hui Guan" in the south of Beijing. There, several Beijing locals experienced joys and sorrows, hope and desperation across three seasons - summer, autumn and winter.
