Plot synopsis of "Four Generations Under One Roof": The play is adapted from the novel of the same name by Mr. Lao She. It more faithfully reproduces the ideological connotation and tragic consciousness of the original work, and the characters are full, vivid and profound.

The family of Mr. Qi and his neighbors, who live under the same roof in Xiaoyangquan Hutong, Peking, faced the critical juncture of national survival and the dual character shown during the occupation by the invaders, that is, the unwillingness to surrender the national integrity and the confinement of feudal ideology.

The obsolete parts of social psychology such as ignorance, compromise, perfunctory, boredom, and selfishness are thought-provoking.
