"As a result of being outnumbered Jiang created a method known as the three in one combination. ("Chiang Ching: A Revolutionary Life") This method was composed of leadership cadres, playwrights and the masses. ("Chiang Ching: A Revolutionary Life") First the leadership cadres would set the theme for the play. Then the playwrights would prepare to write about the theme by going out into real life and gaining experience about the theme. ("Chiang Ching: A Revolutionary Life") The playwrights would then write the plays and the masses would express how they felt about the theme and suggest ways to improve the play.
