A Chinese idiom tells us that if a snipe and a clam are locked in a fight, it is only to the advantage of the fisherman. Now we retell this story in a different way.

 

The fisherman, snipe and calm all live by rivers, and go fishing for a living. The fisherman has a wife who wants to live a better life, so he has to work hard and catch a lot of fish every day.

 

 

One day, the fisherman who has not caught too many fish is driven back to the riverside. In order to please his wife, he decides to turn to the snipe and the clam. As a result, he is beaten by the rebellious snipe and clam.

 

The snipe and the clam who have won think highly of themselves, and then compete fiercely for a fish. Consequently, the entangled two are easily caught by the fisherman.

 

Unexpectedly, the quarrel between the fisherman and his wife eventually leads to the escape of the snipe and clam.

 

If a snipe and a clam are locked in fight, it is only to the advantage of the fisherman. But what will happen if the fisherman and his wife are in a fight?

 

After the snipe and the clam return to the river, they never argue again...

The Theatre has created and performed excellent children's theatre works many times with tours all over the country and has been to Singapore, Japan, Korea, Vietnam, Australia and other countries for exchange performances.

 

The Theatre's "China Children's Theatre" was inscribed by Soong Ching Ling. On the fourth floor of the Theatre in 2005, a Holiday Classic Theatre was created, interpreting classic story of all times on the theatrical stage with its relatively fixed performance time, mode and changes in a variety of styles.

 

The establishment of the Holiday Classic Theatre is not only a new exploration in the field of artistic creation, but also a whole new attempt in performing and business philosophy.
