Lin Yuan planned to write four acts of the play, but actually only wrote three acts, which were published and performed in Literature magazine at that time. The fourth act hindered the writing plan because of the war and other factors, but the first three acts have hinted at Mei Zhen's tragic fate. Someone once asked Lin, "What happened to Mei Zhen in the end?" Lin jokingly said: "The war of resistance has passed!"

Mei Zhen and They is a drama created by Lin, which describes the unique life experience of Mei Zhen, a maid of a big family, and the emotional crisis and love tragedy caused by it in the social environment under the influence of enlightenment. Mei Zhen, a girl from the Li family, is very talented and lively, and is very popular with Li Qiong, the second wife of the Li family. Therefore, treating her as a child and letting her go to school with her daughters made Li Furen's first wife, who was born to her ex-wife, very dissatisfied. Therefore, she often finds opportunities to ridicule Meizhen, and Huiqi and Meizhen get along well, just like sisters. Master Li and Mei Zhen love each other, but the difference in identity makes them choose to escape out of self-esteem and ignorance and understanding of their mother. The story is not finished, so there is no ending, but the first three acts have already laid the groundwork for Mei Zhen's tragedy.
