My chaotic life had spent in the Arts University and majoring in sculpture. After graduation, there is a long time I have locked myself in home, have begun to thinking about my life before. Sometimes I paint. I also decided to write a novel long as the days, can't be read over completely.
2009 April 3, I met an old friend Zhouyeqing in a club called "aperture" who did not contact with me more than two years, we began to drink and chat. We are all film enthusiasts, and also worked in different playstaff, he was in the Photography group, I was in the Fine Art group.
Now he has a company called "ladder" Culture Communication Company, mainly in film and television production. I also have one small pottery museum called "Hongru", sale some works maked by myself. Along with tobacco and alcohol our conversation gradually transferred to the stage drama, and then, we have chatted over a night.

I suddenly wanted to write a drama out of the impulse to write an unprecedented drama, a maverick drama. Thus, the April 5 evening, I began to sitting in front of the computer and wrote. Go through full four overnight, I came up with a script, the April 9 at night, is still in the "Aperture", this drama called "I am not the ball under the red flag," started the preparatory work.

What kind of on earth this drama called "I am not the ball under the red flag,"
Sincere? Kitsch? Declaration of the times? Oration of youth? The cruel reality? The collapse of the dream? grandstand play? Hysterical of crazy? Or the reflection of personal narcissistic? As well Incurable of proud?
80's drama was called "to explore drama," 90's drama was called "experimental theater" to the 21st century, we heard a voice - "pioneer drama." These nondescript labels and symbols made me confused. That so-called academic dispute Let me disgusted, I can not help asking myself what is called of my drama?
The answer is——“ANTI-PIONEER THEATER”!!!

Actors are all my friends,they have different careers, we got along with each other more than one month like one family.we play together, sing together, dance together, and play guitar when the sun sets up, Humming singing the old songs at night, flick off the dust that thick covering in deep memory.
When I heard echoed of massive lines reverberated in the large rehearsal room,my blood vessels started swelling; When I saw all the faces which everyone shows kindness and sincere, my heart began to melting by the warmth; when I sat before the monitor and the camera smile to each other with Zhouyeqing, I came to realize the significance of insisting; when the last play off, I stepped onto the stage at the moment, everyone burst into thunderous applause.
I felt happiness.
