简介 Introduction
20世纪20年代，所有人一同见证了清王朝的土崩瓦解。虽然从古至今传统的思想观念仍然根深蒂固，但西方的价值文化已经开始逐渐影响着社会。四个理想主义的知识分子在乡下建立了一个学校， 他们踌躇满志，梦想着要改造这个旧国家，梦想着能够教育贫穷愚昧的中国农民。 然而，命运注定让他们的梦想的花在这片荒芜的土地上枯萎。 这是喜剧却又是悲剧，这一秒也许你在开怀大笑，下一秒也许就会莫名的心酸。这是一部讲述20世纪初中国历史的话剧，人性的讨论让人如芒在背。
In the 1920s, the people of China had just witnessed the demise of Qing dynasty and had yet to embrace the newly-founded Republic of China: the traditional doctrine still persisted but the first wave of Western values had arrived. Four idealists built a school in the countryside, fulfilling their dream to educate the poor, weak, dumb mass of Chinese rural population. However, the fate of the Chinese race had been set and their dream was destined to wither in this infertile land.
An entertaining but though-provoking piece, Mr. Donkey is a slice of Chinese history awaiting your taste.
