Fang, Ping. Huan ying ni, Li'erwang [ID D24027].
Er schreibt : "The play teaches us a lesson about political struggle, in which we must learn how to differentiate friends from enemies, or how to differentiate the flattering, hypocritical Goneril and Regan from the honest and filial Cordelia. The play bridges the historical and cultural distance between an Occidental past and a Chinese present through a vivid characterization of King Lear as 'the highest ruler of a monarchy', who creates a chaotic world in which the loyal are punished and the treacherous are rewardes. Although our concept of love is different from that of the Renaissance humanist, we nevertheless need the same kind of beautiful soul, which is full of noble love, not just for our relatives and families, but also for our comrades, our motherland, and our glorious party. We should live as a poet, who loves everything that is beautiful."
