China and the West

Aufführung von Hei nu hen = "Sorrows of the black slaves" = Uncle Tom's cabin von Harriet Beecher Stowe = 黑奴恨 in der Adaptation von Ouyang Yuqian unter der Regie von Sun Weishi, zum 100. Geburtstag der Publikation des Buches, in Beijing und Guizhou.
Tian Han schreibt : “The dramatization is not just to commemorate the rise of the new drama movement. It is also a significant support to the liberation movement of the black people in Africa and in the United States. The play is a powerful exposure of the United States. It is a powerful exposure of the reactionary nature of U.S. imperialism.”
Tian Han commends Mrs. Stowe for her success and criticizes her for placing too much hope in Christianity. He then compliments Ouyang Yuqian for looking at slavery from the perspective of 'socialist ideology' by creating a most touching character in Tom and 'endowing him with class consciousness at the time of death'.
