This essay is an attempt to analyse the first act of the play by the contemporary Chinese playwright Sha Yexin (*1939) Jesus, Confucius and John Lennon (1987) which raised a havoc among the men responsible for the cultural policy in China of the end of the 1980s. It was forbidden after several runs and never performed publicly there. This farcical play imitates the heavenly assemblies as known from the oldest writings from the Near East, Israel and Judah before Christian era and shows the great personalities of religion (Jesus), philosophy (Confucius) and art (Lennon) on the heaven before the fall of the world communist system and prepared to go as the messengers or commissioners of God to both the capitalist and socialist countries of the world, including Red China, to see the life and suffering of millions, or even hundreds of millions of inhabitants. The second, third and four acts are not analysed in this essay.
