AB - In short, Guiqulaixi, a satirical play centered around the Qiaoshen family by Laoshe, successfully depicts the psychological processes and clashes involving worries and conflicts over the selfish interests and desires, patriotism, and personal and national revenge of the characters with different personalities and positions during the Sino-Japanese War.
Qiaorenshan is evolved from the Worrying Hamlet, who lacks activity and is made as a caricature a little bit, embodied in Tianlide, the main character of New Hamlet, a novel by Laoshe in 1936. He manifests Hamlet required by the times who discards indecisiveness and avenges himself with grim resolution.
Laoshe’s plays during his fighting years were in the experiment stage and thus exhibit their limitations. He put too much emphasis on the fighting propaganda that his characters were divided by the extreme ends of good and evil. As a result, there is room for improvement in his creation of complex characters with reality and their images.
Laoshe himself always showed a humble attitude toward playwriting he started late, despite which his plays demonstrate tight plots and the force of his written style as much as his novels, his representative creation genre.
Guiqulaixi, his satirical play examined in the present study, also demands ongoing research and examination as part of the efforts to assess the literary values of Laoshe’s plays. In spite of its limitations as one of his early creative works, it holds huge significance by serving as the foundation for his masterpieces of great completeness after the establishment of New China such as Chaguan.
