Beijing University students eat lunch and read posters commemorating the seven hundredth anniversary of the thirteenth-century playwright Kuan Han Ching, who “used stagecraft as a weapon and fearlessly stabbed the breasts of the feudal rulers with his pen.” The booklet suggests that the students learn from Kuan Han Ching and surpass him.
