1 1948 Aufführung von Zhu qing ji (jing ju) = The story of tempering love = Romeo and Juliet von William Shakespeare in der Adaptation von Weng Ouhong durch die Xiao you ju tuan (Alumni Company), Beijing unter der Regie von Jiao Juyin. Wang Jinlu spielt Romeo.
Wang Jinlu sagt im Interview zu Li Ruru : "The play was adapted in accordance with the form of a Chinese story, yet the adaptation was not done as a totally conventional jing ju. For exemple, although the female roles wore traditional make-up, the costumes were modified. We used jin ju melodies, but there were long prose recitations rarely heard in traditional plays. The play was divided according to acts. There were also scenery and lighting effects. The ball in the original was changed to a 'choosing a son-in-law and fencing competition'. In the last act, we devised an episode in which there was fighting with real swords. The play was well received by audiences. A a reformed play, it was also approved by veterans in the jing ju circle."
