Wang Lifa ：Teahouse owner, polite but cautious Tang Tie-zui ：A fortune-teller, a regular but penniless visitor (Tang shuffles into the teahouse, shoes dragging, holding a tattered paper slip.) Wang Lifa: Mr. Tang, why don’t you go for a walk outside? Tang Tie-zui: (With a forced smile) Mr. Wang, give me a hand! Just give me a bowl of tea, and I’ll read your fortune for free! No charge for palm reading! Wang Lifa: (Pulls his hand back) Forget it. I’ll give you the tea, but don’t use your business lines on me! We’re both just trying to get by in this world. Tang Tie-zui: (Sitting down) Come on, just let me take a look. This year is the 24th year of Guangxu. How old are you? Wang Lifa: Sit down. I’ll tell you something – if you don’t quit opium, you’ll never have good luck. That’s my fortune-telling method, better than yours! Tang Tie-zui: (Laughing bitterly) You’re right. But even if I quit, where’s my next meal coming from? Scene 1 Role-play. Wang Lifa (王利发)：Teahouse owner Master Chang (常四爷)：A Manchu noble, upright and kind (Master Chang walks in, holding a bird cage.) Wang Lifa: Welcome, Master Chang! Your usual seat by the window? Master Chang: That’ll do, thank you. How’s business today? Wang Lifa: Not too bad, but times are changing fast. The sign says “No Talking About State Affairs”, but folks still whisper about the reforms. Master Chang: (Setting down the bird cage) Reform or not, people still need a cup of tea and a place to rest. Just give me a pot of jasmine tea. Wang Lifa: Right away. (Brings the tea) You know, some folks say the foreigners are taking over everything. I just want to keep my teahouse open. Master Chang: (Sipping tea quietly) The country’s in a mess, but kindness never goes out of style. I’ll come by again tomorrow. Wang Lifa: Thank you for your business, Master Chang. Come anytime. Scene 2 Role-play. Wang Lifa (王利发)：Teahouse owner, polite and careful Qin Zhongyi (秦仲义)：The landlord, young and ambitious (Qin Zhongyi walks into the teahouse, looking around with a proud air.) Wang Lifa: Mr. Qin! Welcome to my humble teahouse! Please come in and sit down. Qin Zhongyi: (Waving his hand) No need to sit. I just came to see how the place is doing. Wang Lifa: Business is just so-so. These days, it’s hard to keep the doors open. Qin Zhongyi: Times are changing, Wang Lifa. I plan to build factories and open banks. I want to make our country strong. Wang Lifa: That’s a great idea, Mr. Qin. But… what about the teahouse? Qin Zhongyi: The teahouse is too small for my big plans. I might need to take it back one day. Wang Lifa: (Panicking a little) Please don’t, Mr. Qin. This teahouse is all I have. I’ll pay more rent, whatever you want. Qin Zhongyi: (Smiling coldly) We’ll see. Just keep it clean and quiet for now. Scene 3 Thank you ! 2025 Blues 108410.93 Lavf59.14.100 $
