"The good are poor, and die before their time; The wicked are rich, and live to a great old age.
The gods are afraid of the mighty and bully the weak; They let evil take it's course.
Ah, Earth! You will not distinguish good from bad,
And, Heaven! You let me suffer this injustice!
Tears pour down my cheeks in vain!"
-Dou E

- The text itself, if produced in a different form of performance and presented as another kind on contents to the viewers, can show multi-faceted imaginations in terms of storytelling.
