Extended information:

Behind the scenes, Peking Opera "Life and Death Hate" was a costume drama organized and compiled by Mei Lanfang, who had always been concerned about the country and people, in the early 193s when the Chinese nation was invaded by Japanese imperialism.

According to Mei Lanfang's recollection many years later, since the end of the 192s, he has been actively preparing and editing a play to encourage the people to fight against foreign aggression. After discussion with Qi Rushan, it was decided that the legend of Yi Xie Ji written by Dong Yinghan in Ming Dynasty would be adapted and staged.

The September 18th Incident broke out in p>1931, and the domestic situation became more and more severe. Soon after, Mr. Mei moved to Shanghai with his family. In the face of the increasingly tense political situation, Mr. Mei decided to adapt Yi Xie Ji again in order to realize his long-cherished wish of propagating anti-Japanese.

Since Qi Rushan was not in Shanghai, he invited Xu Jichuan to participate in the writing, and reorganized the script written by Qi Rushan Caocheng. Everyone brainstormed together, and Xu Jichuan and Li Shizhen wrote the lyrics, and the title of the play was changed to Life and Death Hate.

In the new edition, the side branches and miscellaneous leaves in the original are deleted, and the length is shortened from 39 to 21. According to Mr. Mei's thinking, the tragic experience of being captured by the enemy is highlighted, so as to awaken some people of the great enemy who are living in a drunken dream and stealing safety and immediately throw themselves into the flood of resistance against the enemy.
