During the launch event, Mo Yan expressed his lifelong connection with drama since childhood. "I've been a loyal drama fan since childhood. I've watched many dramas and opera works, and even played some small roles, which left a deep memory of the stage," said Mo. "Therefore, I feel like I should write several plays to repay what theater has brought to me."
Wang Keran, the director of Crocodile, said: "Crocodile is an exceptionally rare script that I have came across in my more than 20 years' career in the theater industry." He noted that there is a special "protagonist" in the play – light. "Each character is chasing the light in their hearts," he says.
