Personality influence

Chekhov has a great influence on the creation of playwrights in China, such as writers such as Cao Yu, Lao She and Xia Yan. Sunrise is the first work that Cao Yu studied Chekhov's plays, and he also created Peking Man, which is known as China cherry orchard.

Lao She's drama Teahouse is peaceful and quiet in the overall atmosphere of the stage, which blurs the direct conflict, describes the lives of small people, shows the real scenes in life and incorporates comedy elements. These aspects are very close to Chekhov's style.

Xia Yan never said in public that his creation was influenced and inspired by Chekhov, but from his works, especially Shanghai Beach, it is not difficult to see the contractual drama style: lively drama scenes, diluted drama conflicts and plots, simple and peaceful language description.
