During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, there was an old man surnamed Li named Uncle Li. He is an ordinary farmer, usually industrious and thrifty, but he also has a hobby, that is, he likes to watch plays. Whenever an opera troupe came to the village, he would take out the money he had saved, buy a ticket, and go to see a play. He feels that watching a play is a kind of enjoyment, which can make him forget the troubles of life and learn some truths.
One day, Uncle Li heard that there was a very famous troupe in the nearby town who was going to perform a wonderful drama of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". When Uncle Li heard this, his heart itched, and he thought, I must go and see such a good show. So, he sold one of the roosters in the house, exchanged them for a few copper plates, and rushed to town early.
When Uncle Li arrived at the theater, he found that it was already crowded, so he squeezed in, bought a ticket, found a place, and sat down. He looked at the play list and found that what he was going to play today was a part of "Burning Red Cliffs", and he thought to himself, this must be very exciting, I want to take a good look.
The play began, and Uncle Li watched and listened while nodding and admiring. He saw Zhou Yu's heroic posture, Zhuge Liang's wisdom, Cao Cao's momentum, and the spectacular sea of fire, and he felt as if he was in the battlefield of the Three Kingdoms, and his heart was surging. He was so fascinated by it that he forgot everything.
At this moment, suddenly, Cao Cao on the stage shouted: "Who dares to fight with me!" When Uncle Li heard this, he felt that this was calling him, so he couldn't help but stand up and replied loudly: "I dare!" With that, he rushed to the stage.
The audience was stunned, they didn't know what was going on with this old man, they all thought he was a madman. The actors on stage were also startled, they didn't know who this old man was, they all thought he was a troublemaker. They didn't dare to move, they didn't dare to speak, so they looked at Uncle Li blankly.
Uncle Li rushed to the stage, grabbed Cao Cao's clothes, and said loudly: "Cao Cao, you traitor, you killed my son, you robbed my wife, you took my land, you hurt my people, you deserve death, I want to fight with you for the common people of the world and for myself today!" After saying that, he was going to start beating Cao Cao.
Cao Cao was caught by Uncle Li, he was so frightened that his soul was not possessed, he thought, did this old man recognize the wrong person, where did I kill his son, rob his wife, take his land, and harm his people, I am just an actor, I am just acting. He wanted to explain, but he couldn't speak for a while, he could only tremble and beg for mercy: "Uncle, uncle, you spare me, I'm not Cao Cao, I'm an actor, this is a play, this is a play!" ”
Uncle Li listened to it and didn't believe it, he felt that Cao Cao was lying to him, he was even more angry, he said: "You still dare to lie to me, you still dare to act, you are not Cao Cao, who are you, you tell me clearly!" After speaking, he was going to beat Cao Cao.
Cao Cao was beaten by Uncle Li, and the pain was terrible, he thought, is this old man crazy, why doesn't he distinguish between the drama and the truth, why doesn't he listen to people's explanations, why doesn't he look at the people around him, why doesn't he know that this is a theater, this is a stage, this is a costume, this is a drama. He wanted to resist, but he couldn't break free of Uncle Li's hand for a while, he could only cry and cry for help: "Help, help, someone came to save me, someone came to pull this old man down, someone came to tell him, this is a play, this is a play!" ”
When the audience heard this, they all laughed, they thought it was a funny farce, they thought this old man was a fool, they thought this Cao Cao was a poor worm, they thought this play was a joke. None of them stood up, no one went to save Cao Cao, no one pulled Uncle Li, no one told Uncle Li, this is a play, this is a play!
Just then, suddenly, from the backyard of the theater came a rooster crow, cluck, cluck, cluck. When Uncle Li heard this, he seemed to be awakened, he stopped his hand, he raised his head, he looked around, he found his mistake, he realized his stupidity, he remembered his identity, he remembered his purpose, he understood that this is a play, this is a play!
Uncle Li let go of Cao Cao, he lowered his head, he felt ashamed, he said to Cao Cao: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm wrong, I'm confused, I'm crazy, I shouldn't hit you, I shouldn't rush up, I shouldn't interrupt the play, I shouldn't make everyone laugh, I shouldn't do such a thing, I'm such an old fool, I'm really an old fool, I'm really an old madman, you forgive me, you spare me, don't sue me, don't beat me." After speaking, he was about to kneel down and kowtow to Cao Cao.
Cao Cao saw Uncle Li's appearance, his heart softened, he thought, this old man is also a poor person, he is also a person who likes to watch dramas, he is also a person with feelings, he is also an ignorant person, he is also an illiterate person, he is also a person who can't tell, he is also a person who can't think, he is also a person who can't judge, and he is also a person who can't control.
Cao Cao shook his head, and he said to Uncle Li: "Uncle, uncle, you don't have to kneel, you don't have to kowtow, you don't have to apologize, you don't have to be afraid, you don't have to worry, you don't have to blame yourself, you don't have to be ashamed, you are not an old fool, you are not an old fool, you are not an old madman, you are a person with a heart, you are a loving person, you are a person with love, you are a righteous person, you are a brave person, you are a person with anger, you are a person with courage, you are an interesting person, you forgive me, you spare me, don't be angry, Don't hate me. After speaking, he was going to hug Uncle Li and give him a hug.
Uncle Li was hugged by Cao Cao, and he was so moved that he wanted to cry, he thought, this Cao Cao is also a good person, he is also a kind person, he is also a tolerant person, he is also a generous person, he is also a polite person Cao Cao and Uncle Li shook hands and smiled, they all felt a kind of cordiality, a kind of friendship, a kind of harmony, a kind of beauty, they all forgot their identity, they all forgot their roles, they all forgot their own purposes, they all forgot their own plays, they all forgot their misunderstandings, They all forgot about their conflicts.
They all forget their contradictions, they all forget their antagonisms, they all forget their enemies, they all feel like friends, they all feel like brothers, they all feel like compatriots, they all feel like a family, they all feel like one heart, they all feel that they are the same, they all feel that they are interesting.
The audience in the audience saw this scene and were all surprised, they didn't know what was going on, they didn't know if it was true or false, they didn't know if it was part of the play or an accident of the play, they didn't know if it was arranged by the actors or an accident, they didn't know if it was intentional or unintentional, they didn't know if it was good or bad, they didn't know if it was laughing or crying, they didn't know if it was praise or scolding, they didn't know whether it should be applauded or applauded, They don't know if it's to cheer or boo, they don't know whether it's to praise or criticize, they don't know whether it's to remember or forget, they don't know if it's funny or boring.
Just then, suddenly, from the backyard of the theater came another rooster crow, cluck, cluck, cluck. When Uncle Li and Cao Cao heard this, they seemed to be awakened again, they let go of their hands, they put away their laughter, they came back to their senses, they looked around, they found their location, they realized their situation, they remembered their identity, they remembered their role, they understood that this is a play, this is a play!
Uncle Li and Cao Cao glanced at each other, they both felt a kind of embarrassment, an embarrassment, a kind of confusion, a kind of helplessness, they didn't know what to do, they didn't know what to say, they didn't know what to do, they didn't know how to go, they didn't know how to end, they didn't know how to end, they didn't know how to face it, they didn't know how to explain, they didn't know how to apologize, they didn't know how to continue, they didn't know how to act, They don't know how to play, they don't know how to be funny.
Just then, suddenly, from the backyard of the theater came another rooster crow, cluck, cluck, cluck. When Uncle Li and Cao Cao heard this, they seemed to be inspired, they all thought of an idea, they all thought of a way, they all thought of a way out, they all thought of an ending, they all thought of a climax, they all thought of a laugh, they all thought of a wonderful, they all thought of a funny.
Uncle Li and Cao Cao glanced at each other, they both nodded, they all made a move, they all said a word, they all laughed, they all applauded, they all cheered, they all praised, they all remembered once, they all forgot one, they all finished one, they all continued, they all acted, they all played, they all had fun.
