The Fate of Western Modernist Drama in China

Western modernist drama has fallen twice and risen twice since its introduction to China. It was introduced and spread around the May Fourth Movement, and fell in the 1930s. It spread and rose for the second time in the Eighties, and finally declined in the Nineties. A profound lesson can be learned from the ups and downs. Special features come only after careful choices, filtration and digestion. In China, the poetic realist genre, headed by Tian Han and Cao Yu, represented the fine traditions of Chinese modern drama. After the reform and opening to the outside world began in the 1980s, western modernist drama flooded into China again. It led to the rise of "exploratory drama", and radical changes occurred in Chinese drama.
