In 1943, Chiang Kai-shek, who was the president of National Central University, invited three famous professors of the Department of Chinese Language and Literature to dinner. It made the three professors feel embarrassed: to go or not to go is an awkward matter. whether or not should they accept this invitation? In 1967, in the former capital, Nanjing, the three professors were investigated because of this matter. Each of them had different memories of whether they had been invited by Chiang Kai-shek and whether they had attended to Chiang Kai-shek's dinner. Wen Fangyi, a student of Department of Drama, Film & Television of School of Liberal Arts, Nanjing University, was guided to write her term paper by professor Lyu Xiaoping in 2012. Lyu assigned Wen Fangyi to write a comedy titled The Face of Chiang Kai-shek based on the legend of Chiang Kai-shek, the president of National Central University, who invited professors of Department of Chinese Language and Literature to dinner.
