[Under the servant. Park Gao lit a Luzon cigarette and saw the raincoat on the table.

Park (to mother Lu): Is this the raincoat your wife found?

Lu (looking at him) probably is.

Park (picks it up) No, no, it's all new. I want my raincoat. You can tell my wife later.

Rouen

Park (watching her stay) Don't you know that people under this house are not allowed to come in casually?

Lu (looking at him) doesn't know, sir.

Park, are you the new servant?

Lu: No, I'm looking for my daughter.

Park, your daughter?

Lu Sifeng is my daughter.

Parker, you're in the wrong room.

Lu: Oh. -Master, is everything all right?

Park (pointing to the window) Who told you to open the window?

Lu: Oh. Go to the window naturally, close the window and walk slowly to the middle door. )

Park (watching her close the window, she suddenly feels very strange) You stand for one stop, (Luma stops) You-what's your name?

Lu, my last name is Lu.

Park surnamed Lu. Your accent doesn't sound like a northerner

By the way, I'm not. I come from Jiangsu.

Park, you seem to have a Wuxi accent.

I grew up in Wuxi.

Park (meditation) Wuxi? Well, Wuxi (suddenly) When were you in Wuxi?

It's been twenty years since Guangxu reign in Lu, and it's been more than thirty years now.

Oh, Park, you were in Wuxi thirty years ago?

Lu Yes, more than thirty years ago. I remember at that time that we had not used matches.

Park (thoughtfully) More than 30 years ago, yes, it was a long way. Let me see, I was about twenty years old. At that time I

Still in Wuxi.

Where is Master Lu from?

Park Hao, (thoughtfully) Wuxi is a good place.

Lu: Oh, nice place.

Park, were you in Wuxi thirty years ago?

Lu: Yes, sir.

Park Thirty years ago, there was a famous thing in Wuxi-

Lu: Oh.

Park, you know what?

Lu may remember, but he doesn't know which one the master is talking about.

Oh, the park, far away. Everyone forgot to mention it

Lu may, may remember.

Park: I have asked many people who have been to Wuxi at that time, and I want to inquire about it. But people who were in Wuxi at that time, until now.

Now they are either old or dead, and most of the living people don't know or forget.

If Master Lu wants to inquire, anyway, I still know people in Wuxi, although I haven't contacted them for a long time.

It's always okay to ask them for something.

Park, I sent someone to Wuxi to inquire. But maybe you happen to know. Thirty years ago, there was a family named Mei in Wuxi.

Lu surnamed Mei?

A young lady from Park Mei's family is very virtuous and disciplined. One night, she suddenly drowned. Later, later,

Come on.-You know what?

Lou dare not say.

Park geun-hye.

Lu, I know a girl named Mei.

Park? Tell me.

But she's not a lady, and she's not wise, and I hear it's not polite.

Park maybe, maybe you are mistaken, but you might as well tell me.

This Mei girl Lu did jump into the river one night, but not one. She was holding a man who had just given birth for three days.

Kid. I heard that she behaved badly before her death.

Park (bitter) Oh!

Lu is a man of inferiority and is not very filial. I heard that she was a little innocent with the young master of Zhoufu at that time and gave birth to two sons.

Son. It's only three days since she gave birth to her second child. Suddenly, Master Zhou abandoned her, and the boss was placed in Zhoufu, while the newborn child was held in her arms.

In my arms, I threw myself into the river on New Year's Eve.

Park (sweating like a pig) Oh.

Lu, she's not a lady. She is the daughter of Zhou Mansion in Wuxi. Her name is Shi Ping.

Park (looking up) What's your last name?

Lu. My Lord, my name is Lu.

Park (breathing thoughtfully) Shi Ping, Shi Ping, that's right. The girl's body is said to have been seen by a poor man.

Try to bury it. Can you find out where her grave is?

Master Lu, why do you ask these questions?

The park has something to do with us.

Lu's relatives?

Parker, um-we want to repair her grave.

Oh, that's unnecessary.

Parker, what's wrong?

Lu is still alive.

Park (stunned) What?

Lu, she's not dead.

Parker, is she still there? Really? I saw her clothes by the river, which contained her suicide note.

But she was saved by a charitable person.

Park: Oh, saved?

After Lu left, Wuxi people didn't see her and thought she died that night.

So, Parker, what happened to her?

Lu lives alone in a foreign land.

Where is the children's park?

Lu is also alive.

Park (suddenly stands up) Who are you?

Lu, I'm Sifeng's mother, my Lord.

Park geun-hye.

She is old now, married an inferior person and gave birth to a girl. The situation is very bad.

Parker, do you know where she is now?

Lu, I met her the other day!

Park what? She's here? Here?

Luen, over here.

Park oh!

Master Lu, do you want to see her?

No, no, thank you

Lu, her life is very hard. After leaving Zhou's home, Master Zhou married a rich and powerful lady. She's single,

No relatives, no reason, I took a child to do everything in a foreign land, begging, sewing clothes, being a mother and serving people at school.

Park Gao, why didn't she go to the Zhou family again?

Lu, I guess she doesn't want to. She got married twice for her children.

She has been married twice since Parker?

Lu En, they are all people with low self-esteem. She is very unhappy when she meets people. Does the master want to help her?

Park, go down first let me think.

Master Lu, that's all? (Looking at Park Garden, tears will come out) Sir, what should I say about your raincoat?

Park, tell Sifeng to take out the old raincoat from my camphor box and put some old linings in that box.

Take out your clothes, too.

Old shirt of Lu?

Park, tell her if there is a silk shirt with a collar on top of my old box.

Master Lu has five spinning shirts, right? Which one do you want?

Which one does Parker want?

Didn't Lu You's sleeve have a burning hole, and later it was embroidered into a plum blossom with silk thread? one more

Pieces,-

Park (stunned) plum blossom?

Lu also has a silk shirt with plum blossoms embroidered on his left sleeve and a flat beside it. one more thing

Park (standing up slowly) Oh, you, you, you are-

Lou, I have served my master's servants before.

Park Oh, Shi Ping! Why, you?

Lu, you can't imagine that one day Shi Ping will be so old that you don't even know her.

Park, you-Shi Ping? (I unconsciously looked at the photos on the cupboard and then at Ma Lu. )

Lupuyuan, are you looking for Shi Ping? Shi Ping is here.

Park (suddenly sternly) What are you doing here?

Lu is not what I want to come.

Parker, who sent you?

Lu (heartbroken) life! Unfair fate sent me here.

Park (coldly) It took you thirty years to find this place.

Lu (indignant) I didn't look for you, I didn't look for you, I thought you were dead. I didn't expect to be here today. this is

God wants me to meet you here again.

Park, you can calm down. Now you and I are both people with children. If you feel wronged in your heart, I am such a big grade.

Children don't have to cry first.

Lou cried? Hum, my tears have long since dried up. I am not wronged. I have a lot of hate and regret. It has been 30 years since I was born.

What I suffered. You may have forgotten what you did! Thirty years ago, I gave birth to your second son on New Year's Eve in China.

It's only been three days, and you forced me to leave you in order to marry a rich and powerful lady quickly.

The door of our Zhou family.

Parker's feud? Decades have passed, why bring it up again?

That's because Mr. Zhou is smooth sailing and now he is also a good person in society. But ever since I was kicked out of your house

After that, I didn't die I am very angry with my mother. Your family forced me to be with you because of my two biological children.

At home.

Park, haven't you already taken care of your second child?

Lu, it was your old lady who watched the child dying and asked me to take it away. (to himself) Oh, my God, I feel like I am.

Dream on.

Park, I don't think the past needs to be mentioned again.

Lu I want to mention, I want to mention, I have been bored for 30 years! When you got married, you moved. I thought I'd never see you again.

You left; Who knows that my own children are destined to come to Zhou's house to do what I used to do in your house.

Park, no wonder Sifeng looks like you.

Lu, I serve you, and my children serve your master. This is my karma, my karma.

Parker, be quiet. Clear your mind. Don't think my heart is dead. What do you think a person has done in his heart?

Can't bear to forget it? You see, these furniture are more popular than before. I have kept them for several years in order to observe discipline.

Miss you.

Lu (lowers his head) Oh.

Park, your birthday-April 18-I remember it every year. Everything is going according to plan. Are you officially married? People who have been to Zhou's house look,

Even if you get sick because you gave birth to Pinger, you should always close the window. I keep these habits so that I won't forget you and you can make it up to me.

The sin of.

Lu (with a sigh) Since we are all elderly people, please don't say such stupid things.

Park, it's better this way. Then I think we can make it clear.

But I don't think there is anything to talk about.

Park talks a lot. I don't think your temperament has changed much-Gui Lu seems to be a very dishonest person.

Lu, you don't understand. He will never know.

Park is good in both aspects. Besides, what I want to ask you is, where is your son?

He works in your mine.

I asked Park where he is now.

Lou is waiting for you at the concierge.

Park what? Lu Dahai? Him! My son?

Lu, because of your carelessness, his toes are still missing.

Park (sneer) So, my own flesh and blood instigated a strike in the mine and opposed me!

Lu, he is completely different from you now.

Park (quietly) He is still my son.

Lu, don't think he will recognize you as a father.

Park (suddenly) good! Have fun! How much do you want now?

What's wrong with Lou?

Parks let you retire.

Lu (wry smile) Hum, do you think I came to blackmail you on purpose?

Park, don't mention this floor for a while. Ok, let me say what I mean first. Listen, Gui Lu, I'm going to shoot now.

Sifeng also wants to go home. but

Don't be afraid, Lou. Do you think I will use this relationship to blackmail you? Don't worry, I won't. I'll bring it the day after tomorrow.

Sifeng returned to my original place. This is a dream. I will never live in this place again.

The park is very good, so all the travel expenses and expenses will be borne by me.

What's wrong with Lou?

Parker, this is better for my heart.

Lu you? I've lived alone for 30 years, and now I want your money?

Okay, okay, okay, so what do you want now?

Lu (pause) Me, I want something.

Park what? Go ahead.

Lu (with tears in her eyes) I-I just want to meet my Ping.

Parker, do you want to see him?

Rouen, where is he?

Park, he is seeing a doctor upstairs with his mother now. I'll call him and he can come down to see you. It's just-

What is Lu?

Parker, he is very old.

Lu (recalling) He is about twenty-eight? I remember that he was only one year older than the sea.

Park Gao thought his mother had died.

Oh, you think I'm gonna cry to make him recognize his mother? I'm not that stupid. Don't I know such a mother?

Do you only embarrass your own son? I understand his position and education, and I don't allow him to recognize such a mother. Over the years, I have

I just want to see if he is my child. Don't be afraid, I just asked him to increase him for nothing.

Trouble, he doesn't want to recognize me yet.

Park, then, let's settle this. I told him to come down. Look at him, and the Lu family will never come to Zhou again.

Go home.

Lu Hao, I hope I will never see you again in my life.

Park (signs the check that takes out the wallet from his clothes) is very good. This is a check with a face value of 5,000 yuan. You can take it first.

Use it. This is a way to make up for my sins.

Lu (taking the check) Thank you. (Tearing up the check slowly)

Park Shiping.

Lu, what I have suffered over the years is beyond your money.

Parker, but you-

[There is a quarrel outside. Lu Dahai's voice: "Let me go, I want to go in." Three or four footmen said, "No.

No, sir is sleeping. "There is a footman and other people fighting with the sea outside.

Park (walks to the middle door) Somebody! (The servant comes in through the middle door) Who is making noise?

Servant? That's worker Lu Dahai! He was unreasonable and insisted on seeing his master.

Park geun-hye. (thoughtfully) Then invite him in. Wait a minute. Send someone upstairs to invite the gentleman downstairs. I have something to ask him.

Servant? Yes, my Lord.

[The servant comes in through the middle door.

Park (to mother Lu) Shi Ping, don't be too stubborn. If you don't accept this little money, you will regret it in the future.

Master Lu looked at him and said nothing. )

Servants brought the sea in, the sea stood on the left, and three or four servants stood on one side.

Mom, are you still there?

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

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

Park. You? I only know that you are the representative of the workers who went on strike most violently.

That's right. Not bad at all. That's why I came to visit you.

Park, what can I do for you?

The chairman certainly knows why I am here.

Park (shaking his head) I don't know.

We came all the way from the mine, and I have been in your gate room since six o'clock this morning. I am.

I want to ask the chairman, are the conditions of our workers allowed?

Park: Oh, what about the "Theory of Three Represents" theory?

Let me tell you something. They are contacting the nearby trade union now.

Oh, Parker.-Didn't they tell you anything?

It doesn't matter if I don't tell you. -I ask you, what do you mean by alternating hard and soft?

Son?

[His drought-striken fields out of the restaurant, see someone, that is, want to return.

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

Ping: Yes, Dad.

Park (pointing to her side) Pinger, you stand here. You can't just negotiate with your heart (to the sea).

Well, I know all your tricks. You are dragging your feet like this, just to pay off some shameless losers.

Students, let's cheat us here for the time being.

Park, your knowledge is not unreasonable.

But you are completely wrong. Our strike was United and organized. We're not here to beg for you.

Guys. Please listen carefully. Allow it; No, we went on strike until the end. We know you.

The whole place will be closed in less than two months.

Park, do you think your representatives and leaders are reliable?

Big is at least much more reliable than the combination of foreign money you only know.

Parker, let me show you something.

Parker Parker found a telegram on the table and the servant handed it to him. At this moment, Zhou Chong sneaked into the study on the left to eavesdrop.

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

Big (holding it over) what? They started working again. (putting down the telegram) No, no.

The workers in Park Mine returned to work yesterday morning, you didn't know as a representative?

How did the big (surprised, angry) mine police shoot and kill 30 workers for no reason? Looking at the telegram again, I suddenly laughed.

) Hum, this is fake. Your own fake telegram alienated us. Hum, your despicable behavior.

!

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

Park Ping-erh! Without you. (whispering to the sea) Do you trust your compatriots' representatives so much?

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

Good park, then I'll show you the contract for returning to work.

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

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

Big (see the contract) what? (Slowly, in a low voice) The three of them signed. How could they sign without telling me?

Where are the words? They just ignored me?

Park is right, silly boy. It is impossible to shout it out without experience.

What about "Theory of Three Represents" theory?

Parker went back by train last night.

Big (rude awakening) The three of them lied to me. These three things without bones, they put the workers in the mine.

Sold it. Hum, you shameless chairmen, your money is working again this time.

Ping (angry) you bastard!

Park doesn't talk much. (Looking back at the sea) Lu Dahai, you are not qualified to talk to me now-the mine has opened you.

Except for ... ...

Fired?

It's unfair to rush dad.

Park (Chong), shut up and get out! (rushing down the middle door)

Big oh, good, good, (grinding his teeth) I've been learning your tricks for a long time. Anything can be done as long as it can make money.

You told the police that you killed many workers in the mine, and you-

Park, you are talking nonsense!

Lu (to the sea) Stop it and go.

Well, I know all your origins. You used to build a river bridge in Harbin and deliberately put the river bank in danger-

Park (in a low voice) get down!

The servant waited for him and said, "Go! Go! "

Big (to the servant), you bastards, let me go. I want to say, you deliberately drowned two thousand two hundred coolies, every

You a coolie's life deducted 300 yuan! Zhou, you are taking your children and grandchildren to make money! You still-

Ping (can't help being angry, walks up to the sea and slaps him in the mouth. ) You bastard! (The sea is coming soon.

To fight back, Zhou Zhai's servant stopped him. ) hit him.

Big (loudly to ping) you, you (just about to scold, servants fight together. The sea is bleeding. Mother Lu cried to protect the sea.

)

Park (harsh voice) don't hit people! The servants stopped hitting the sea and still held its hand. )

Let go of me, you robbers!

Ping pulled him down (to the servant).

Lu (crying) Oh, what a bunch of robbers! (Going to Ping, sobbing) You are Ping,-Shit,-What?

Hit my son?

Ping, who are you?

Lu, I'm the mother of the man you-you hit.

Mom, don't pay attention to this matter, you will be careful to eat their losses.

Lu (staring blankly at Ping's face and suddenly crying again) The sea, let's go, let's go. (Holding the injured sea.

Head crying. )

Ping (sorry) dad.

Park, you are too reckless.

Ping, but this man should not insult his father's reputation.

[A long time.

Did Dr. Park show it to your mother?

Ping finished reading, nothing.

Park Oh, (thoughtfully, suddenly) someone!

[The servant comes in through the middle door.

Park, you tell your wife to calculate the wages of Guilou and Sifeng. I have asked them to resign.

Servant? Yes, my Lord.

How come? What's wrong with them two?

Park, don't you know the worker's last name was Lu just now? Is he Sifeng's brother?

Ping: Oh, this man is Sifeng's brother? But, dad-

Park (to the person next to him) asked his wife to let the cashier work with Lu Guitong and Sifeng for another two months, and told them to leave today. Go ...

All right.

The servant is under the dining room.

Dad is flat, but Sifeng and Gui Lu are fine at home. Very loyal.

Oh, I'm very tired. I'm going to have a rest in the study. You ask them to send a bowl of strong tea.

Ping: Yes, Dad.

Park Park is under the study.

Ping (sighs) Hi! (hurry from the middle door, hurry from the middle door. )

Brother Chong (anxious) Where is Sifeng?

Ping: I don't know.

Is father going to fire Sifeng?

Ping, and Gui Lu.

Even if her brother offended her father, didn't we beat him up? Why do you bully such a girl?

What?

Ping, you can ask your father.

This is so unreasonable.

Ping: I think so too.

Where is Chong's father?

Flat in the study.

Rushed to the study and paced up and down the room. Sifeng came in through the middle door, pale and with tears in her eyes.

Ping (hurried to Sifeng) Sifeng, I'm sorry, I really don't know him.

Four (shake it by hand, full of unspeakable words. )

Ping, but your brother shouldn't talk like that.

Four, don't mention it. It's very wrong. (just go to the canteen)

Ping, what are you doing?

I will pack my own things. Goodbye, you're leaving tomorrow. I'm afraid I won't see you again.

Ping: No, you don't. (Stop her)

Four no, no, you let me go. Don't you know that we have asked you to resign?

Ping (sadly) Feng, have you-have you forgiven me?

Four: No, you didn't. I don't blame you. I know this day will come sooner or later, but tonight you must

Don't come to me.

But, Ping, what about the future?

Fourth, that-we'll see!

Ping: No, Sifeng, I want to see you. I must see you tonight. I have a lot to say to you. Sifeng, you ...

…

No, no matter what, you don't come.

Ping, then find a way to see me.

Fourth, there is no other way. Can't you see what this looks like?

Ping, in that case, I will definitely come.

No, no, don't be silly. You must never ...

(Fan Yi comes out of the restaurant.

Four. Oh, madam.

Numerous you still have there! (to Sifeng) Wait a minute. Your father will come back as soon as he tells the electrician. What can I hand in?

Take it back to him. Maybe I'll send someone with you-where do you live?

Sixinghua Lane 10.

Don't be sad. You can come to me anytime. I'll give you your clothes later. This is Xinghua lane

How about the tenth?

Fourth, thank you, madam.

【 Ma Lu is called "Four Phoenix" outside! Sifeng! "

Fourth mother, I'm coming.

[Ma Lu comes in through the middle door.

Lu Sifeng, pick up the odds and ends. Let's go first. It is going to rain heavily.

[When the wind blows, the thunder gradually rises.

Fourth, mom.

Mrs. Lu (right) Let's go. (to Sifeng) Sifeng, thank you and your wife.

(Greeting his wife) Thank you, madam! (Looking at Ping with tears in her eyes, Ping slowly turns away. )

[Ma Lu and Sifeng came from the middle door, and the thunder was louder.

Fanping, what did you just say to Sifeng?

Ping, you have no right to ask.

Ping Fan, don't think she will understand you.

Ping, what does this mean?

Stop lying to me. Let me ask you, where did you say you were going?

Ping doesn't need you to ask. Please respect yourself.

Tell me, where are you going tonight?

Ping, I-(suddenly) I looked for her. How are you?

Numerous (threats) Do you know who she is and who you are?

Ping: I don't know. I only know that I really like her now, and she likes me. In the past few days, I know you have understood.

Really, since you are willing to tell the truth, of course I don't need to keep it from you.

Many people with such higher education are now daughters of such servants. This is an inferior woman-

Ping (Bang), you are talking nonsense! You don't deserve to call her inferior, you don't deserve it, she's not like you, she-

Numerous (sneer) be careful, be careful! Don't push a disappointed woman too hard, she can do anything.

Yes

Ping, I have a plan.

Fan Liang, you go! Be careful, now (looking out of the window, talking to yourself, implying a bad omen) a storm is coming!

Ping (understandingly) Thank you, I see.

[Park Yuan-woo is in the study.

Parker, what are you talking about here?

Ping, I was just telling my mother what just happened.

Parker, are they gone?

Many lefties.

Park Fanyi, Zhong Er told me to cry again. You ask him to come out and comfort him.

Numerous (walked to the door of the study) Zhong Er! Zhong Er! I didn't hear the promise inside, so I went in. )

It thundered outside.

Park (went to the window and looked out. The wind was strong and the flowerpot fell to the ground and broke. Pinger, the flowerpot was blown down by the strong wind.

Tell the servant to close the window quickly. Maybe a storm is coming.

Ping: Yes, Dad! (From the middle door)

Piao Piao stood by the window and looked at the lightning outside. ]

2. Introduction: Thunderstorm is the cornerstone of China's drama realism. Out of an "urgent need for emotion" and "looking down on the people in this land with a feeling of compassion", the author analyzes the deep evils of society and history through two families who are inextricably linked in ethical blood. Thunderstorm reveals many aspects of human nature by describing the complicated relationship between Zhou and Lu. No matter which role, there is a sad and hateful side.
