Lao She Teahouse

It is named after the drama Teahouse by Chinese author, Lao She. Although an attempt to give a taste of a Beijing tea-house during Lao She’s time, it has transformed into a wonderful entertainment house with short shows by comedians, singers, musicians, acrobats（杂技演员） and opera performers（表演者）. In short（总而言之）, one can have a kaleidoscopic （万花筒）view of Beijing culture while sipping tea with light refreshment（点心）. Dinner before the show is provided separately in another section of the building and the price of the food is reasonable（合理的;公道的）. An adjacent(邻近的) room display（展示） paintings, art objects like paper cuttings, antiques, kites and jade（玉）carvings.?

Lao She Teahouse

Lao She (1899-1966), real name Shu Qingchun, was of Manchurian descent（满族血统） and the famous author of the book called “Camel Xiangzi”, also known as “Rickshaw Boy”（黄包车）in the US. It was a bestseller in the US where Lao She was a visiting professor（客座教授）. He also taught Chinese at the School of Oriental and African Studies，University of London（伦敦大学亚非学院） in his earlier days. His drama Teahouse displayed his linguistic（语言的）talent of the Beijing dialect（方言）. Other famous works are Cat Country, and The Yellow Storm （《四世同堂》）.

The owner of the Lao She Teahouse, Yin Shengxi（尹盛喜）, is a student of the son of Qi Baishi(齐白石), one of China’s best contemporary （现代艺术）painters. Therefore, one can see the busts（半身像） of both Lao She and Qi Baishi at the entrance to the Teahouse.
