Chinglish
The curve in math class. In the past, China was regarded as an impoverished nation with a dysfunctional government: the “Sick Man of Asia.” Now, the world looks on, with both admiration and anxiety, as China stands on the brink of surpassing the U.S. as the world’s largest economy.My new play, “Chinglish,” currently in previews on Broadway, grew out of my fascination with the amazing changes that have swept over China during my lifetime. Like many other Americans, I am impressed that its leaders have lifted a nation from poverty, through an industrial revolution, and into the digital age, in roughly fifty years. China in 2011 provides scant support for free-market fundamentalists who maintain that capitalism works best without any government interference. On the other hand, China’s widening gap between rich and poor, political repression, and absence of civil liberties greatly disturb me.
