1 1981 Zuo, Yi. Tiannaxi Weiliansi de zao qi zuo pin. In : Dang dai wai guo wen xue ; issue 4 (1981). [Artikel über Tennessee Williams]. 田纳西•威廉斯的早期作品
In William's canon, almost no one won victory through struggle. Williams always sided with the weak characters and thought threir tragedy was caused by society, although they themselves had shortcomins. They were victims of the time. From Williams's point of view, the human being and the world were hostile to each other. The reason why men committed crimes was because the world itself was not perfect. When Williams exposed their sufferings using his sharp pen, to some extent he reflected the capitalist American society in which the middle and low class people were placed in situations which made them lonely and powerless. Actually, America was not a country in which every one had equal opportunities. It was a country in which the strongest existed and the weakest perished. Some of Williams's characters have made great efforts to improve their situations such as Jin in Glass menargerie and Chance in The lovely youth island, but finally their future was still dark and hopeless. Williams's plays have stirred the great responses of the Chinese people.

3 1988 Oct.-Nov.
Aufführung von A streetcar named desire von Tennessee Williams, Tianjin People's Art Threatre, unter der Regie von Mike Alfreds, mit Zhang Lu Yen als Blanche. Sponsored by the Sino-British Cultural Association and the Tianjin People's Art Theatre.
Dec.
Aufführung beim Chinese Drama Festival in Beijing.

Alfreds wanted to make the play Chinese, as well as have it reflect modern western society. To this end, he insisted that the actors appear as what they were. They spoke in their natural tone of voice and walked naturally. He asked his performers to imagine that the play was taking place in Tianjin, since the Chinese city bore such a strong resemblance to New Orleans.
Ma Lan : Watching Streetcar is just like reading an autobiography. Blanche's life reflected a particular time. Williams's play tells people that it is not a simple thing to say goodby to the past. Burying oneself in recalling the past is an indication of the weakness and passiveness in humanity. In Blanche we find a type of laziness and hypocrisy. She herself lacked the inner strength to say goodbye to her old self.
