About this work

A Yuan-dynasty Chinese play that reached Europe in the 18th century and inspired Voltaire's The Orphan of China. The treacherous minister Tu'an Gu wipes out the Zhao clan; the doctor Cheng Ying saves the surviving baby and sacrifices his own son in its place. The orphan grows up in the house of his family's killer and learns the truth twenty years later.

نمایش‌نامه‌ای از دورهٔ یوان چین که در قرن هجدهم به اروپا رسید و ولتر از آن «یتیم چین» را نوشت. وزیر خیانتکار، تو آن‌گو، همهٔ خاندان ژائو را از میان می‌برد؛ پزشکی به نام چنگ یینگ نوزاد بازمانده را نجات می‌دهد و پسر خود را به جای او قربانی می‌کند. یتیم در خانهٔ قاتل خاندانش بزرگ می‌شود و پس از بیست سال حقیقت را درمی‌یابد.
