Zhang may finally get his answer when Crazy English and Seventeen Years open to Chinese audiences later this year. Like A Lan in East Palace West Palace, Zhang will finally get to turn the table on both the State and his compatriots: "You've asked me a lot of questions. Now why don't you ask yourself...
