Scene I (ask for school)

Narrator: once there was an affluent family. The only daughter, Zhu Yingtai, was quite a beautiful girl. And she wanted to go to school to learn some knowledge. However, at that time, women were forbidden to go to school. In spite o f that, she didn’t give up and tried her best to persuade her parents……

Servant: (outside the door). May I come in, lady? Here comes your favorite stewed chicken.

Zhu Yingtai: no, just leave me alone!

S: but you haven’t eaten anything for two days. You will get sick if you don’t eat anything.

Zhu: That’s much better. I’ll enter heaven earlier.

S: oh, God bless you. Why do you say that! Please, open the door!

Zhu: You heard me, no!

S: Please---

Zhu: I won’t say it again. Get out!

Narrator: Then the servant goes to tell Zhu’s parents about it.

S: I’m sorry, master. But she refused to eat anything. Maybe she is ill.

M: Really? Oh my dear! What should we do now? She is our only child!

F: (Thinking for a moment, then to the servant) Go find a doctor as quickly as possible.

S: Yes, sir.

N: A few minutes later…

S: Sir and Madam, here comes the doctor!

M: Show him in quickly.

Doctor: Nice to meet you, Sir and Madam.

F&M: Nice to meet you, too.

M: It’s very strange that you look s o familiar.

F: Yes, he looks like Yingtai’s cousin.

D: Really? That sounds good. Well, let’s get to the point. What’s the matter with your daughter?

M: She doesn’t want to eat anything and tends to lose her temper easily.

F: We don’t know what we s hould do. You know she is our only daughter.

D: Maybe it’s really an abnormal disease.

F: Is it serious?

M: Please save my daughter’s life, dear doctor.

D: Well, has anything happened to her recently?

F: oh, just some trifles.

D: Exactly?

M: She wants to go to school. You know, that’s impossible.

F: Have you heard of a girl studying at school? I won’t let this happen in my family and be ashamed.

D: That’s the very point. I’m afraid only by meeting her requirement can we save your daughter’s life.

M: But---that is impossible.

D: I’ve got an idea. How about pretending to be a man?

F: Are you joking? No matter how she pretends, we can still tell.

D: Don’t be so sure. Even you may not recognize her sometimes.

F: I don’t think so. She is my daughter.

D: What if you can’t tell?

F: If I can not, I will allow her to go to school.

D: Really?

F: Of course. I promise.
