On this day, my sister Shi Mei, who had not returned home for a long time, suddenly returned. The brother and sister hugged each other and cried, telling their hearts. It turned out that Shi Mei joined the underground party and ran for the revolutionary cause. The theories of Marxism and communism in her mouth opened the eyes of Wang Runsen, who was still in school. He also gradually gained a personal feeling for the dark side of reality.

Shi Mei's appearance was like a ray of sunshine shining into the house, igniting the fire of revolution in Wang Runsen's heart. He began to help Shimei deliver information and gradually joined the underground work. In order to protect Wang Runsen, Shi Mei gave him the pseudonym "Lantian Ye".

Drama Club, this intelligence network.

In the spring of 1945, the wind and the sun were beautiful in Beiping. 18-year-old Lan Tianye is wandering the streets, handsome, elegant manners, and looks like a scholar. This is the new task given to him by the organization: to establish a drama club and collect information about the enemy.

Lan Tianye didn't know much about the performing arts, but he quickly grew from a layman to an insider. He became acquainted with people in the drama industry, learned performance skills, and soon established the Peking Youth Drama Society. Several veteran artists were hired as mentors to take the opportunity to absorb more talents.

After the opening of the drama club, it was very popular, and there was no shortage of enemy eyeliner who came to watch the performance. Lan Tianye gradually became familiar with these people, and collected valuable military information from them. He also added code words in the play to contact the party organization. In this way, a seemingly harmless drama club became an intelligence center.

However, the good times did not last long, and the enemy intensified surveillance. Under the protection of many parties, Lantian Ye led all the members to evacuate. He also changed his face and started a new life.

Renyi Drama Theater promotes national culture.

In 1951, the People's Republic of China was founded. Lan Tianye returned to Beijing and participated in the establishment of the People's Art Theater. Here, he has a broader stage where he can give full play to his strengths and promote the development of Chinese drama.

The premiere repertoire is set for Lao She's famous novel "Teahouse", and Lantian Ye goes deep into life and restores the life scene of the old Beijing teahouse. They interviewed the elderly, learned dialects, and incorporated various elements into the play. In the end, the performance was a success and received good reviews.

In his years of theater career, Lan Tianye has created countless roles and cultivated junior actors. In the 80s, he played the role of Jiang Ziya in the classic mythological drama "Fengshen Bang"**, and his superb acting skills won the applause of the audience. In the 90s, he continued to ponder new works and inherit national art.

In 1995, Lan Tianye won the highest honor award for international theater. This represents that his outstanding contributions to the cause of Chinese drama have been internationally recognized. Today, he is a senior in the industry and has noble character.

A few words from my sister changed Lan Tianye's life. He transformed from a literary youth to a revolutionary, and finally achieved brilliant results. Some people are destined to meet in troubled times. And Lantian Ye is one of them.
