1 1956 Aufführung von Nora von Henrik Ibsen durch die Zhongguo qing nian yi shu xue yuan (China Youth Arts Academy) in Beijing unter der Regie von Wu Xue, mit Ji Shuping als Nora und Yu Chun als Helmer, Jiang Zhulin als Krogstad, Bai Ling als Mrs. Linde und Du Peng als Dr. Rank.
A sponsor of the production invited Ibsen specialists from Norway to participate in their performance. Wu Xue made a trip to Norway in order to collect more information about Ibsen and to see how his plays were staged in Norwa.
Cao Juren describes the performance as a production with 'a perfect cast and acting'. Wu Xue comments that 'he play had a different but higher mission in socialist society' and it was treated 'as medicine eliminating corrupt bourgeois morals' and 'as a song praising new life'. Cao Yuren accounts for the difference by the changes in society. Supposedly liberated from all social bondage, both men and women in socialist China were free human beings and therefore no longer identified themselves with Nora. They looked at the play as a satire of the bourgeois social system rather than as an appeal for them to rebel.
