In Chen Baichen's 1980 play, on the other hand, the focus was on changing human nature, and at the very end of the play there was a section when a narrator said, "Although Ah-Q is dead, he is not without descendants, who are all around us today."
一九八○年陳白塵的話劇版，則把矛頭指向改革人性，在結尾有一段畫外音說：「阿Ｑ雖然死了，但是沒有斷子絕孫，而且子孫眾多，至今不絕。」
