1 1934 Aufführung von Nora von Henrik Ibsen durch die Shanghai ye yu ju ren xie hui (Shanghai Amateur Actors Association) in Shanghai unter der Regie von Wan Laitian und Bühnenbildner Zhang Min mit Lan Ping (Jiang Qing) als Nora, Zhao Dan als Helmer, Jin Shan als Krogstad und Wei Heling als Dr. Rank.
Kam Kwok-kan : The play was for the first time presented in a spectacular manner. It was a shocking event to the Shanghai audience. It was the spectacularly realistic effect that distinguised the production from all previous ones which were in one way or another tinted by the colours of traditional operatic performance. Zhang Min for the first time introduced the Stanislavsky method to the Chinese theatre.
Jiang Qing enthusiastically admired Nora and wished all women who were treated as playthings by men would become Nora. Soon she also left family : "I must try to become a real human being !"
