　　Director Chen Peisi once said in an interview and the creation of "A Dream", "It is indeed a bit of a pursuit of poetry. The unfinished poetry in "The Stage" has been 'transferred' to "A Dream"."

　　It is understood that the play is also a commemorative work for Chen Peisi's son Chen Dayu for ten years.

For the first time, he "studied on the same stage" with his father and played with a group of "old drama bones". He was recognized by the audience for his performance and was praised for "adding comedy to the story of great sorrow and joy".

　　In "The Stage", Chen Peisi tried the fusion of Peking Opera and drama art for the first time. He directly moved the cultural and military field of Peking Opera to the stage of the drama, changed the conservative "soundtrack" to "live performance", and made a bold attempt to combine the whole opera's music and drama. Most of the sound effects are done in the instrumental music of Peking Opera; and this play "A Dream" uses Kunqu Opera, the oldest "cultural treasure" and known as the "living fossil", as one of the art forms.

　　Chen Peisi said that "The Peony Pavilion" is a work that purely expresses the love between men and women, and it is a beautiful thing.

Using this work, using this form, and comparing it with the tragic war, will produce an extremely powerful impact.

　　In addition to the drama "Frightening Dream", this year's 10th anniversary of the Minnan Grand Theater has also prepared a number of blockbuster performances, such as Keigo Higashino's stage play "The Daoist of the Virtual Image", and the Oliver Award for Best New Comedy, the British classic farce "Smashed" , Shanghai Jinxing Dance Troupe's modern dance "Wild Flower", the Chinese version of the musical "Anna Karenina" and other major dramas continued to be staged.
