Abstract: his paper，through an analysis of Tea House，explores the theme of this play and its consistency with those in Lao She′s other works after 1950s.The pessimistic mentality reflected in Tea House was common in Lao She′s works before 1950s but very rare after.The author then points out that Tea House，carrying forward Lao She′s concerns about nation and people since 1937，demonstrates his maturation in literary concept and literature production，and his inclination for left wing literature.Besides，Tea House also demonstrates the contradiction in Lao She′s literature production after 1950 and his fight against it.This paper，thereby，is hoped to cast light on modern and contemporary literature research in China.
