In Where Is My Maple Town, a good person in China struggles to hold onto his principles in a society which conspires against morality at every turn.
Li Yufeng, who has failed his exams despite his gifts as a scholar, gives into the temptation to cheat, which starts him down a treacherous path. This “ancient” Chinese drama is rich in humor, irony and social commentary, as it critiques how society changes a man into the sort of person he hates.
“A social comedy set in ancient China which causes us to reflect on society today, and the price of our own success.” – David H. Hwang
