A Story in Cao Yu's Thunderstorm

Lu Dahai (looking at Ma Lu) Mom, are you still here?

Zhou Puyuan (looking at Lu Dahai) What's your name?

Chairman Lu Dahai (laughs) Don't put on airs with me. Don't you know who I am?

How about you, Zhou Puyuan? I only know that you are the representative of the workers who went on strike most violently.

Lu Dahai is right, not bad at all, so I came to visit you.

Zhou Puyuan, what can I do for you?

Chairman Lu Dahai certainly knows why I am here.

Zhou Puyuan (shaking his head) I don't know.

Lu Dahai, we came all the way from the mine. Today, I have been waiting at your concierge since six o'clock in the morning. I just want to ask the chairman, are the conditions of our workers allowed?

Zhou Puyuan: Well, what about the "Theory of Three Represents" theory?

Lu Dahai, let me tell you something. They are now contacting the nearby trade union.

Zhou Puyuan: Oh, didn't they tell you anything?

It doesn't matter whether Lu Dahai tells you or not. -I ask you, what do you mean, sometimes soft, sometimes hard, what's the matter?

When his drought-striken fields came out of the restaurant and saw someone, he wanted to return.

Zhou Puyuan (looking at Ping) Don't go, Ping! (See, Ma Lu recognizes Ping as her son and looks at him with tears in her eyes. )

Zhou Ping: Yes, Dad.

Zhou Puyuan (pointing to her side) Ping Er, you stand here. You can't just negotiate with your heart (to the sea).

Lu Dahai hum, I know what you mean. You are dragging your feet like this, just to buy some shameless scum and cheat us here for the time being.

Zhou Puyuan, your insight is not unreasonable.

Lu Dahai, but you are completely wrong. Our strike was United and organized. We're not here on your behalf. Please listen carefully. Allow it; No, we went on strike until the end. We know that in less than two months, you will close the whole place.

Zhou Puyuan, do you think your representatives and leaders are reliable?

Lu Dahai is at least more reliable than the combination of foreign money you only know.

Zhou Puyuan, let me show you something.

Zhou Puyuan found a telegram on the table and the servant handed it to him. At this time, Zhou Chong sneaked into the study on the left and listened attentively.

Zhou Puyuan (telegram to the sea) This is a telegram from the mine yesterday.

Lu Dahai (bring it here to see) What? They started working again. (putting down the telegram) No, no.

The workers in Zhou Puyuan Coal Mine resumed work yesterday morning, but don't you know as a representative?

Lu Dahai (surprised, angry) Why did the police in the mine shoot and kill thirty workers for no reason? (Reading the telegram again, suddenly laughing) Hum, this is false. Your own fake telegram alienated us. (Laughter) Hum, you despicable behavior!

Zhou Ping (can't help it) Who are you? Dare to talk nonsense here?

Zhou Puyuan Pinger! Without you. (whispering to the sea) Do you trust your delegates like this?

Needless to say, Lu Dahai, I understand what you mean by these words.

Zhou Puyuan: OK, then I'll show you the contract for returning to work.

Lu Dahai (laughs) Don't lie to children. Without the signature of our representative, the resumption contract is invalid.

Zhou Puyuan Oh, the contract! (The servant hands him the contract from the table) You see, this is the contract signed by the three of them.

Lu Dahai (looking at the contract) What? (Slowly, in a low voice) The three of them signed. How could they sign without telling me? They just ignored me?

Zhou Puyuan by the way, silly boy, it is impossible to shout without experience.

What about Theory of Three Represents, Lu Dahai?

Zhou Puyuan went back by train last night.

Lu Dahai (a rude awakening) The three of them lied to me. They sold these three things without bones to the workers in the mine. Hum, you shameless chairmen, your money is working again this time!
