The White-haired Girl.
The White-haired Girl takes the folklore of the Jinchaji border area as its main material, and then refines and processes it according to the reality of the revolutionary struggle at that time. The main plot is that the evil landlord Huang Shiren forced the kind and honest tenant Yang Bailao to death, snatched his daughter Xier and raped her, and finally forced her to flee into the mountains.
Xi'er survived with a strong will for revenge, and because of the lack of sunlight and salt, her hair turned white, and she became known as the "white-haired fairy goddess" by the villagers nearby. The Eighth Route Army liberated the area, led the peasants to defeat Huang Shiren, and rescued Xier from the mountains. She was able to turn over a new leaf and start a new life.
The play y expresses the theme of "Old society forces people to become 'ghosts', and new society turns 'ghosts' into people" through the encounter of Joy, and truly reflects the reality of the rural areas in the semi-colonial and semi-feudal society. It truly reflects the contradiction between the poor peasants and the landlord class in the rural semi-colonial and semi-feudal society, and proves that only the people's revolution led by the ****-producing party can smash the feudal yoke, and liberate Xier and the millions of peasants who have the same **** fate as Xier.
