Repeated resistance, repeated despair.
First, Xianglin's wife escapes her oppressive in-laws' home. Next, she stubbornly and foolishly knocks her head against the altar. Again, she uses all her possessions to atone for her sins.
Is Xianglin's wife guilty of resistance? Guilty of refusing to accept fate? Guilty of still holding hope?
It was a society devoured by feudal ethics, A society teeming with demons and monsters, A society where patriarchy stripped away human rights. What kind of society are you in?
Lu Xun's short story 'Blessings' reflects the social contradictions in China after the 1911 Revolution through the tragic life of Xianglin's wife. It profoundly exposes the landlord class's oppression and persecution of working women, reveals the cannibalistic nature of feudal ethics, and points out the necessity of thorough anti-feudalism.
A group of young people who have completed the introductory performance course at the Macau Conservatory's Drama School, driven by their passion for theatre, are determined to continue their studies in performing arts through the Hiu Kok Theatre Actor Training Program to strengthen the local theatre scene.
They will present and practice what they have learned over a year, collectively adapting a short story by the renowned Chinese writer Lu Xun to present a unique performance for the audience.
