The major material of this play is the Great Wenchuan Earthquake. This play tries to build a framework for a person who has never experienced any disaster to talk about a disaster. The play also presents this person’s exploration and discussion of the issues as the reconstruction of the disaster area, mental rehabilitation, the buried truth, Internet violence, agenda setting of media, regulation of speech, and the eternal question— “what is life?”

The Chinese family of four, Father, Mother, Sister/Ｖ, and Brother/Tai, looks like a classic example of happiness. However, the ghostly existence of a nanny, Aunt, who has been taking care of Ｖ since she was a baby, becomes the factor that constantly transforms the household into a storm of resentment, anger, and violence. The time when Aunt leaves the family and gets married, Ｖ has to face the reality of being trapped in a house full of strangers.

An Ivy League degree in art and an apartment in Manhattan – Like many new upper-middle-class Chinese families, Mr. and Mrs. Li are proud to give their only daughter a life they could only dream of, until... they realize the new life is turning her into a dangerous stranger.
