As the 90th anniversary of Thunderstorm was celebrated in 2024, various productions of this classic work were staged around the world. Li Liuyi, a stage director who has directed many of Cao Yu's works, also has his heart set on this work. This time, however, he stresses that this adaptation is \u201cnot subversive or deconstructive\u201d, and he is determined to return to the characters\u2019 most authentic psychological states."}
