Hangzhou Comic Art Theater was established in October 1950. It has created and performed many influential modern plays and comedies. Locals and expats love to come to this theater for a bit of comic relief. Non-Chinese speaking travelers coming to the theater will have a double-joy watching the production as well as the audience's reaction. The theater is reputed for producing some of the best stories including "Don't Cry, Mum" (Ma Ma，Ni Bu Yao Ku) a story about the different results caused by different educational methods in two stereotypical Chinese families. The story symbolizes a social phenomenon, which makes people reflect on the absurdity of things that may consider menial, but have a great impact, and "Happy Family" (Huan Le Ren Jia), a wonderful story with a moral message on treatment of the elderly and family members.
