When Yan Yan heard this, he couldn't help but ask Tao Yushu curiously, "Mom, why do you have to line up to buy books?"

"Because there were few books at that time-

Tao Yushu told his daughter the story of that year. The family slowly walked into the Capital Theater, and most of the audience was sitting there.

Their family's seats are in the front row, which is definitely not the best from the perspective of watching the drama, but this is a performance, and the seating is not important.

"Father" is the annual drama of the People's Art Theater. It has been the focus of attention in the Yanjing literary and artistic circles since its establishment. Today's performance brings together many respected seniors in the Yanjing literary and artistic circles. It took Lin Chaoyangguang a while to say hello.

Huang Zongjiang joked, "Chaoyang, you are going to cause a sensation in Yanjing City this time!"

Huang Zongjiang is a well-known domestic playwright. He was praised by him when he was performing "The First Floor in the World".

At that time, he and Lin Chaoyang didn't know each other.

A few days ago, "Father" was rehearsing with makeup at the Capital Theater. There should have been no one, but more than 200 people were squeezed into the theater.

Most of them are employees of the People's Art Theater. "Father" is the annual drama of the People's Art Theater and has been the focus of everyone's attention since its establishment.

For the first time, many employees of the People's Art Theater came over to take a sneak peek.

In addition to the staff of the People's Art Theater that day, there were Huang Zongjiang and other respected predecessors in the literary and artistic circles.

Having tested the quality of "Father" in advance, Huang Zongjiang was full of confidence in this drama.

"I'll lend you my good words." Lin Chaoyang said with a smile.

It was almost 7:30 pm, and the Capital Theater was full.

The lights gradually dimmed, and the curtain closed on the stage. After the report, the curtain slowly opened.

The scene of the stage is an apartment building in Yanjing in the early 1990s. The streets outside the window are bustling, and soft music comes from the sound.

Song Dandan, who plays Old An's daughter An Xin, is wearing autumn clothes and a scarf squeezed around her neck. She looks shrewd and forced, and she is in a hurry. She comes to the door of the apartment with a serious expression. She rings the doorbell, but no one answers.

Then she impatiently took out a key from her handbag and opened the door.

An Xin: Dad?

Still no one answered, An Xin walked from room to room, and she became more anxious.

An Xin: Dad? It’s me——Are you here? Dad?

Her nervousness doubled and she finally found her father in the study. He was sitting in an armchair and listening to music with headphones.

An Xin: Oh, you are here.

Lao An, played by Zhu Xu, was surprised to see her, and he immediately took off his headphones. The music stopped abruptly, and it turned out that it came from Lao An's headphones.

Lao An: What are you doing here?

An Xin: What do you think?

Lao An seemed a little angry at his daughter's sudden arrival.

An Xin saw the curtains closed, walked over and opened them, turned around and looked at Lao An.

An Xin: Can't I come?

Lao An: I’ll get angry with me when I come!

An Xin: Don’t change the topic, you know why I came here.

Lao An: I don’t know.

An Xin: Don’t pretend to be stupid. You are such a big person. Do you dare to do it or not?

Lao An looked at her with a stubborn look: "Nothing is happening."

An Xin: I just went on the phone with her.

Lao An: So what’s wrong?

An Xin: You can't continue like this anymore.

Her tone was very impatient.

Lao An seemed to get angry: I am your father, you just talk to me like that. Are you angry for a woman you don’t know? Who is she? Do I know her?

An Xin (the tone was compromised): She is here to help you.

Anthony: What to help me? I don't need anyone.

After saying that, Lao An left the room.

The story of "Father" revolves around Alzheimer's disease patient Lao An. He has a stubborn personality. After losing his wife in middle age, he took his daughter alone. After his daughter got married, he lived alone.

To outsiders, he is an introverted and bad-tempered old man, and sometimes even his daughter An Xin can't stand him.

After getting sick, An Xin found several nursing staff for him, but they were all left by the bad-tempered Lao An.

Of course, there are reasons for the disease, so Lao An often doesn’t know people.

This time, Aunt Mei, the third care worker An Xin found for Lao An, was also taken away by him, and she also slandered Aunt Mei for stealing his watch.

It can't be considered a slander. Lao An decided that Aunt Mei stole his watch.

As the dialogue between father and daughter extends, the plot of "Father" gradually expands.

Unlike the usual realistic repertoire of the People's Art Theater, the opening of "Father" has a certain suspense color.

The conversation between the father and daughter made people confused, and they couldn't tell whether the father and daughter were both right or wrong.

But slowly, the carefully designed details of the screenwriter and director continued to appear, gradually bringing the audience into the story.

Lao An on the stage was like an ant trapped in a maze. Everyone watched his chaos, anger, sadness and powerlessness coldly. Even his biological daughter was powerless. All this made people feel confused.

An Xin left and went to Xiangjiang, but Lao An was still sent to a nursing home.

Lao An: I’m sending you, what’s your name? You, who are you?

Female nurse Wu Qian: Uncle An, I am Wu Qian.

Lao An: Wu Qian. Oh, yes, yes, then he is Luo Jun (referring to a male nurse).

Wu Qian: By the way, you have a good memory.

Lao An: OK, okay, you are Wu Qian, he is Luo Jun, what about me?

Wu Qian looked at him, not sure if she had heard it wrong.

Lao An: I...Who am I?

Wu Qian smiled gently: It’s An Kuai Ye, but An Kuai Ye is named An Liangcai.

Lao An: An Liangcai?

Wu Qian: Yes.

Lao An (mursing from Tang): This is Ya's name. Ya's name is this? Who gave Ya's name?

Wu Qian (it seems to have heard some joke): Of course it was given by your parents, maybe it was your mother.

Lao An: Mom A? You know Mom A?

Wu Qian was stunned for a moment: I don’t know each other.

Lao An: Don’t you know her? She is very frustrated. Look, I think of what she looks like. Can she come to see A?

On the stage, Lao An, played by Zhu Xu, sat in front of the hospital bed like a young child. Every conversation between the child and the female nurse Wu Qian stabbed the hearts of all the audiences, making the daggers feel uneasy.

The old man in his sixties is a father. Now his son has no daughter to take care of him, and only a nurse is accompanying him.

Cold hospital beds and cages are like nursing homes.

Ke'er was also a child and was carefully cared for by her mother.

"Mom! A——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

Lao An's sad words were as gentle as a frame, but they hit all the audience's eyes,

Bumping into their hearts.

"Mingming Mingming·—."

There was a whimper in the Capital Theater. This was not the first time that an audience could not control their tear glands.

When his daughter An Xin and Lao An separated, many viewers cried.

This time, the tear gas on the stage came even harder. Even if it was suppressed, many people could not suppress their hearts.

The audience was crying, and Lao An on the stage was also crying. The sadness of daggers came so suddenly and so violently that it drowned all the audience in the Capital Theater.

"As it feels like Ah feels like Ah is all the leaves in Ah, one after another."

When Zhu Xu on the stage said this fateful sentence, the sound of the capital theater sounded as if he heard the command, and everyone couldn't cry, even the sarcastic person could not help but cry.

After crying, Lao An was finally comforted, and Wu Qian came to the yard for a walk.

They came to the tree, and Wu Qian asked him to take a nap and enjoy the sunshine.

Lao An was really asleep, and he grabbed Wu Qian's hand, taking a nap like he was holding his mother's hand when he was young.

The yard is standing there, the wind blows, the leaves are rumbling,
