The Return of My Ex-Wife restores all kinds of people, things and things from the end of the Cultural Revolution to the period of reform and opening up to the greatest extent. Whether it's Zhang Jiayi's "28 Iron Donkey" or Zuo Xiaoqing's plaid lapel dress, Julie's red marriage certificate exudes the flavor of the times. The green military uniform, blue trousers, green military cap and the standard green schoolbag of the same color army, which the hero appears frequently, are the most authentic and moving memories of youth in the hearts of all those who have experienced that red era.
In addition to striving for the authenticity of props and the perfection of all actors, the plot of "The Return of My Ex-wife" is to put an end to facepainting, strive for vividness and be more grounded in details. Li Guosheng, the leading actor in the play, can threaten his mother to run away from home for his wife, can use his daughter as a shield to beg for mercy from his wife, and can directly say "I have long wanted to possess you". These seemingly ordinary "little villains" make Zhang Jiayi, who has the aura of leading role, more fleshy, just like the living "China men" around you and me.
