It was earlier (1945) translated poorly with a changed ending and made the Book of the Month Club. Get the newer translation titled "Camel Xiangzi" "Teahouse" is a three-act play that covers the first 50 years in China 1900-1950 in a tea house and the politics of the changing times. I saw it as a musical in Beijing and only wish it were a DVD. Southern Baptist missionary kid (Ida Pruitt, 1888-1985) tranlsated his "Four Generations" and called it "Yellow Storm." Set in Beijing during the Japanese occupation in early 1940s. <br /><br />Ida's father was colleague with Lottie Moon, SBC most well-known missionary. Ida knew Lao She well and the language so she did an excellent translation.Britt Toweryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01594329100796734394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11324519182877018.post-70907092575962743952010-09-14T03:45:26.311-05:002010-09-14T03:45:26.311-05:00What work of Lao She would you recommend as a firs...What work of Lao She would you recommend as a first piece to read as an introduction?Thomas A.
