George Bernard Shaw came to be a leading influence in the Min zhong xi ju she, which devoted considerable space to him in its short-lived magazine. In its opening declaration, the Society's magazine invoked Shaw as a model.
Xi ju ; vol. 1, no 1 (May 1921).
"Bernard Shaw once remarked, 'Stage is a platform for propaganda'. Although this might not be an absolute truth, we can at least say that the time for 'drama to be solely a pastime or entertainment' is gone forever. Theater occupies a very important position in modern society : it is a vehicle moving society forward ; it is an X-ray machine exposing all the diseases of a society ; it is a truthful mirror reflecting the people of a country in their nakedness. China has never had such a theater before, but we are striving to build one now."
