''On the Docks'' (Chinese: 海港; pinyin: hǎi gǎng) is a Chinese revolutionary opera and one of the eight model plays available during the Cultural Revolution.〔Grout, Donald (2013). (''A Short History of Opera'' ), p. 792. Columbia University Press〕 Also known as ''The Harbor'', it was the first revolutionary opera with a story about working peasants eagerly accepting the responsibility of militant struggle. The creation of the drama was inspired by Mao Zedong's publication Talks at the Yan'an Forum on Literature and Art, whose agenda was the development of social entertainment for workers, peasants, and soldiers. His wife Jiang Qing played a significant role in devising both the words and the music, which at times led to a power struggle with Liu Shaoqi over the opera's ideological message.〔NEA (13 march 1972). ("Chinese Opera Is Secret Talk Time" ). ''The Times-News''. Retrieved 3 July 2004.〕 The director Xie Jin staged the original production in the early 1960s and also filmed the story in 1972.〔Donald, Stephanie (2000). (''Public Secrets, Public Spaces: Cinema and Civility in China'' ), p. 7. Rowman & Littlefield〕〔''Daily Telegraph'' (23 October 2008). ("Xie Jin, Chinese film director who survived the Cultural Revolution to create several box-office triumphs" ). Retrieved 3 July 2004.〕 ==Synopsis== The story of ''On the Docks'' originates on the Huangpu River in Shanghai where workers are preparing rice shipments to Africa. It is the summer of 1963 and the loading process is overseen by Party Branch Secretary and hero Fang Hai Chen who ensures the boat leaves on time so it arrives for sowing season. The villain, an undercover saboteur from the counter-revolutionaries, works as a dispatcher who manages to hide a weather forecast predicting an impending typhoon. He schemes to switch the rice with similar looking glass fiber to ruin the revolution’s reputation and leave 2000 loads of wheat unprotected for the coming storm to destroy. The plot is defeated when Chen finds glass fiber mixed with rice and her corresponding investigation reveals the dastardly plan. Workers toil through the night and the shipments leave safely on time.〔 *Yellow River Chinese/Naxos (1993). (Gong: ''On the Docks (Orchestral Highlights)'' ) (liner notes). Catalogue No: 82048.
