Liao Fan

This drama is adapted from the book "Liao Fan's Four Lessons" written by Yuan (Huang) Liao Fan, a famous figure in Jiangnan culture in the Ming Dynasty. Yuan (Huang) Liaofan lost his father when he was young, and his mother asked him to respect the teachings of his ancestors and give up his studies to practice medicine. However, he was unwilling to do so. Later, he met the charlatan Kong Mou who pointed out that he had good luck in an official career, so he entered the school with his mother's consent and made progress along the way. He was a scholar and passed the exams step by step, but until middle age, he seemed to have not escaped from the calculations of the sorcerers, so he fell into the shackles of fatalism. Just when he was mentally depressed and sinking, after receiving the guidance of an expert from outside the world, he understood that people's destiny is in their own hands. The play not only shows Yuan (Huang) Liaofan's life struggle with fate from his youth, middle age, to his later years, but also creates a clear image of a group of ancient celebrities and ordinary people who get along with and are related to him. Such as the gentle and virtuous Yuan's wife A Lian, the resolute Ling'er, the righteous and affectionate Ye Daoji, the low-key and humble Feng Kaizhi, Yu Haigu who values ​​teachers and education, the honest and upright Hai Rui, the heroic Qi Jiguang who defends the country, the reform minister Zhang Juzheng, and all the brave and lovely street children.
