"My Home is on the Songhua River in the Northeast..." At the exclusive release conference of "Treasure Island and One Village", Shanghai Opera Troupe actors Zong Juntao, Ding Hui, and Liu Yilin sang, and the song "On the Songhua River" took the audience back to the past . On the 5th anniversary of the theater in 2020, director Lai Shengchuan announced that he will release an exclusive version of "Treasure Island and One Village", which is expected to become a resident performance.
On December 5, 2008, "Treasure Island and One Village" premiered. The play tells about the alternation of laughter and tears and humor of three generations and four families. They are far away from their homeland and even too late to say goodbye to their relatives. They thought it was only a short journey, but the day of returning home is far away. With deep homesickness, they took root in the village where they temporarily settled. This homesickness story is more than ten years old. The actors and staff of "Treasure Island A Village" are called "villagers". In the past ten years or so, some villagers have left and come again, and some have been there all the time. As a treasure of this era, "Treasure Island and One Village" is the work of director and screenwriter Lai Shengchuan and Wang Weizhong and who hope to use theater to record history. 2020 is a special year, and everyone has experienced the test of the epidemic. Go to the theater to make a bold decision. I hope that an exclusive version of "Treasure Island and a Village" can be produced, just like "Peach Blossom Spring", which can be watched at any time in the theater. The exclusive version of the show will premiere on November 13, and the performance will last until December 6.

In the eyes of many audiences, "Treasure Island, a Village" is like a living museum. Under the changing times, you can't help yourself. A hometown becomes a hometown, young and old leave home. Even the irresistible helplessness, endless drifting and unprepared farewell are the wounds that the characters cannot heal in their lives. In the dead of night, hopeless sorrows will rush to their hearts, but when they wake up, life still continues. You can feel happy and content with the smallest things. There are no heroes in the whole play, and some are ordinary stories.
Lai Shengchuan is full of confidence in the exclusive rehearsal version of "Treasure Island One Village": "Since last year’s drama "Once Upon a Time", our own troupe actors are more cohesive and more capable of taking on a history and emotion. I believe it will look good." After learning that the Shanghai Theater will produce an exclusive version of "Treasure Island One Village", the original version of "Treasure Island One Village" "The Chief" Qu Zhongheng (decorated by Lao Zhao), Feng Yigang (decorated as a small Zhu), Xiao Ai (playing as Leng Ruyun), Lin Liqing (playing as Grandma Qian), Fan Ruijun (playing as Zhu's wife), Liu Meiyu (playing as Ermao) and others sent their blessings. Everyone expressed their excitement and expectations for the exclusive rehearsal version of "Treasure Island One Village".

"How can one estimate what happened in life?" The old Zhao wrote in the letter to his son in the play. In Lai Shengchuan's view, ""Treasure Island and One Village" records a long follow-up to an era of upheaval and displacement." Suddenly "Treasure Island and One Village" has been performed for more than ten years, and the elders with memories of the times are gradually leaving, but the more More and more younger generations have followed "Treasure Island and a Village" into that era, and the actors of the Shanghai Theater Company officially "passed on" this story, and will perform the faded historical story forever.
