The migrant, either running away from disaster or war, whether from Syria or Ukraine or from Covid in our own country, is the most eloquent image of our century. In China from 1980 to 2015 the one child policy created a unique new breed of migrants, the ‘family planning refugees.’ Based on a novel by Ma Jian, the play explores the story of a young couple Meili and Kongzi as they travel down the Yangtze to try and escape.
