《茶館》这个結构別出心裁的三幕剧,写了比《群英会》多一倍有余的人物。輕輕几笔,就給人一个鮮明的人物形象。光是这一点,就非大家手笔莫办。剧本以王利發为“經”,从王利發茶館的不同面貌,从先后出入茶館的各色不同人等,揭露了黑暗、腐朽的三个旧时代面貌。你看,像王利發这样的老好人也活不下去了;像常二爷这样的爱国志士,竟然入獄,終于穷困聊倒在市井间;……旧社会容不得一点正常、合理、美好的事物存在。“这样的社会非完蛋不可”。——这是看戏后感受到的一个鮮明印象。很显然,老舍先生在回顧我們祖父一辈走过来的这段生活道路时,是从热爱社会主义社会出發的。否則,他对旧社会的批判和揭露,决不可能如此深刻和尖銳;否則,作者也不至于把王利發的下一代,安排跟着康大力走了。老舍先生自己說,写这个剧本的目的,是为了“葬送三个时代”;如果他不热爱幸福的今天,他决不可能去葬送黑暗的昨天。《茶館》体现了这位老作家可貴的政治热情。茶館虽是社会的一个小角落,但它却是一部六十年生活变迁史。我想,如果是一位迷信三一律的作者,他很可能安排王利發祖孙三代一齐上台,通过回忆等等方式,来反映和交代六十年的情况。这样,它給人的印象决不可能像現在这样鮮明具体。老舍先生处理这个題材时,打破了話剧的常 “Teahouse” this unique structure of the three acts of drama, wrote more than “heroes” more than double the characters. A few strokes, give a distinctive character image. Just this light, we should not do anything else. The script is based on Wang Li Fa by “Jing”, from the different faces of Wang Li’s teahouse, from different people of different colors who have gone to and from the teahouse one after another, exposing three dark and decadent faces of the old times. You see, old good people like Wang Li-fa can not live any more. Like Patriarchs such patriots, even jailed, and finally talk of poverty in the market; ... Old society can not tolerate a normal, reasonable, beautiful things exist. “Such a society is not finished.” - This is a vivid impression of watching the movie. Obviously, Mr. Lao She proceeded from his passion for socialism in retrospect of this path of life our grandfather came by. Otherwise, his critique and disclosure of the old society can never be so profound and sharp; otherwise, the author will not leave the next generation of Wang Li Fa to follow Kang. Mr. Lao She himself said that the purpose of writing this playbook is to “ruin the three ages.” If he does not love happily today, he will never go to ruin the dark yesterday. The “tea house” embodies the valuable political passion of the old writer. Although the teahouse is a small corner of society, it is a history of sixty years of life. I think if the author is a superstitious Trinity, he is likely to arrange Wang Li and his ancestors and grandchildren to come together for three generations, through memories and so on, to reflect and explain the situation for sixty years. In this way, its impression can never be as specific as it is now. Lao She dealt with this subject, breaking the drama often
