Why did Zhang Xiuying throw himself into the river in the teahouse?

Die of humiliation. Ma Wu tried to flirt with Zhang Xiuying, but his wife ran into him and stopped him. Later, he found a foreigner, and the foreigner said it was beautiful. The next morning, foreigners came to Ma Wu and said that Zhang Xiuying was like a dead man, and there was no response at all. It seems that I was spoiled by foreigners at night and threw myself into the river.

Teahouse is divided into three acts, with the rise and fall of Yutai, a big teahouse in old Beijing as the background, showing the social outlook of Beijing and the life changes of different people from all walks of life during the 50 years from the late Qing Dynasty to the period of Northern Warlords to the victory of the Anti-Japanese War. Every scene is about an era when people from all walks of life in Beijing come in and out of this big teahouse. The whole drama shows a huge historical picture, which vividly illustrates the inevitability of the inevitable demise of old China and the inevitable birth of new China.

Relief portrait exhibition

The author Lao She's way of portraying characters is unique. Pay attention to depicting the characteristics of the times, class, occupation and temperament, as well as local colors, make an artistic summary of various typical societies, and reflect different social faces through lifelike figures in relief. For example, Mr Qin is a national capitalist. When he appeared, he was young and confident that industry would save the country, but he showed the youth and ignorance of the national bourgeoisie. Master Qin's bad attitude of expelling hungry people exposed his incompatible nature with the poor.

Decades of wind and rain have left him only a painful and blind curse on reality and himself. Master Qin's tragedy is the epitome of the character and fate of the national bourgeoisie in old China.
