"Many of her stories are focused on women bound by traditional ideas. Women in these stories want to escape from lots of things, but are mostly unsuccessful. But I feel somehow she herself had succeeded. Many think her life in her later years was sad and solitary, but I think she enjoyed it, since it was out of her own choice," Lai said.

Lai has incorporated different music styles into the production. She boldly mixes northeastern Chinese folk music, the erhu, a traditional Chinese string instrument, and Western music. Sounds from insects, such as crickets, can also be heard during the show.

Meanwhile, DELT is tailored specifically for the environment of a shopping mall. The dancers from the City Contemporary Dance Company and Beijing Dance (also known as LDTX) don't perform on a conventional stage, but instead move fluidly around the crowds inside the mall, allowing visitors a rare chance to have an up close and personal experience with contemporary dance. In this highly interactive work, dance becomes everyday life and everyday life is transformed into dance. The audience will find themselves no longer just observers, but also participants, responsible for creating and completing the dance itself.
