Mao, Dun. "Opening speech". In : Xin hua she xin wen gao ; no 2243 (July 1956). [Zum 100jähriges Jubiläum zum Geburtstag von George Bernard Shaw in China].
Mao Dun delivered the opening address. He praised Shaw's plays and emphasized Shaw's personal contacts with China.
"Shaw expressed his sympathy toward socialist countries many times. All his life he supported peace and democracy most vehemently. In His satirical comedies, he employs satire to expose and ridicule warmongers and arms manufacturers. He attacks the aggressive policies of the imperialists against oppressed people. In his plays, he repeatedly protests against the aggression of the colonialists, and shows great sympathy toward the people in their fight for freedom and independence."
"The Chinese people deeply love Shaw's comedies, so full of intelligent political discussion and bitter satire. During his lifetime this playwright also had some personal contact with the Chinese people".
