Kuang, Xing. Ping Hugo de chang pian xiao shuo 'Beican shi ji'. In : Wai guo wen xue ping lun ; no 1 (1979). [Artikel über Les misérables von Victor Hugo].
Wong Tak-wai : To the Chinese scholars, Les misérables is primarily a chronicle reflecting the political and social conditions of the early decades of nineteenth century France, being valuable for its angry and forceful protest against the corrupt system which deprives the poor of the right to life and against the law and moral of the evil capitalist society. The major drawback they find in the novel ist that Hugo failed to locate and analyse the source of the social problems, be it hunger or crime, - the capitalist system – and placed too much emphasis on the power of human virtues as effective remedies for social misfortunes.
