A stage photo of Rickshaw Boy. [NCPA]

A classic masterpiece drama by the Chinese writer Lao She.  Presented by Beijing People's Art Theatre, the performance highlights today's indifferent human relationship in the society, and reproduces working people's honest and sincere human touch in old Beijing at that time.

Rickshaw Boy adopts sound effect to showcase cock crow in semi-rural area in northwest Beijing from morning to night, Suona in wedding and funeral ceremonies and huckster shouts day and night in winter so as to restore the bustling life inside and outside courtyards in old Beijing in the 1920s.
