I’ve always believed in being more of an observer. Why struggle when what will be will be? Some might call it ‘giving up’, but my philosophy has ensured a life without incident.There’s no use despairing over my hometown being knocked down, or that a murder occurred on our street. Getting involved would only cause trouble. Though now it seems Ma Li wishes to divorce. She’ll see sense eventually – it certainly isn't my fault…Yang Zhengguang’s psychodrama scrutinises a self-proclaimed scholar’s inner world, satirising the delusions we maintain in order to justify continuing in the tedious routine of daily life.
