Auto City

The play tells the life and career of three generations of Pan Shude, general manager of Shanghai Feiyun Company, and the Sino-German joint venture Feiyun Automobile Industry Company, a model of reform, opening up and foreign economic cooperation. The hardships and pains experienced from hand-made "Hongqi" cars to the glorious development of today's automobile industry demonstrate the courage and confidence of automobile people to open up and welcome opportunities and challenges. At the same time, it reflects the unprecedented leap that the entire Chinese economy is making towards internationalization and integration with the world economy. "Motor City" is by no means just an industrial theme in the general sense. The content it covers and the human feelings and humanity it displays are enough to break through the limitations of the subject matter; the fields it covers and the breadth and depth of the "topics" it explores and meditates on are enough to break away from the shackles of story appearances. With its unique artistic charm, "Auto City" shows the ups and downs and ups and downs in the process of China's industrial modernization, the contradiction between market economy and planned economy, the contradiction between traditional thought and modern ideas, the contradiction between science and ignorance, the contradiction between innovation and conservatism, the contradiction between politics and economy, the contradiction between national culture and Western culture, the contradiction between love and hate, etc.
