Beijing's small theater plays are humorous and witty, yet they brought me to tears

During the play, I cried. I just watched a classic play 'Reckless Love' at the Starry Drama Village. It's been a long time since I've seen such a splendid performance. Due to an accident, the story travels back 70 years, unfolding a heavy love story that transcends time. Four actors on a small stage, with profound dialogue and a foundation in song and dance, held up this grand play. For a full two hours, I was completely captivated by the plot, spending most of the time laughing heartily at the actors' humorous lines and exaggerated acting. But when the play reached its climax, I found myself crying. Wang Wenxue said, 'The biggest secret in my heart is that I like you, but I won't tell you.' When this line was delivered, everyone laughed. When Wang Wenxue recklessly sacrificed himself for love, in that moment, the whole audience fell silent. After a short while, the theater was filled with the sound of sobbing. After laughing and crying, looking back at the whole play, the theme was elevated, and I finally understood why the play was called 'Reckless Love.' This is also the charm of watching a play. If I have time, I would watch it a few more times.
