Across four parts, a collage of more than seven hundred repeated and altered 'I love' statements ranges over twentieth-century history, politics, literature and the playwright's personal tastes. The play traces a generation born into Maoist revolutionary ideals and disillusioned by the reform era, using repetition, satire, mime and metatheatrical performance.
Ma Lu, a rhinoceros feeder, pursues Ming Ming's love despite her rejection. His futile effort to win her over becomes a struggle against stereotypical expectations and commercialization as he searches for an individual identity.
