Yang, Xianyi. Xiao Bona : zhi can jie ji de jie pu jia. In : Ren min ri bao (26 July 1956). [Shaw – dissector of boureois society].
Wendi Chen : Yang hailed Shaw as a "dissector of bourgeois society" who "relentlessly tore off the masks of bourgeois gentlemen and ridiculed bourgeois society". Yang admiringly commented on Shaw's superb performance : "As composed and unmoved as a surgeon, Shaw performed an autopsy on the corpse of bourgeois society". Yang then proceeded to catalogue Shaw's individual surgical cases. Widowers' houses, according to Yang, "ruthlessly exposes the rotten corruption of a capitalist Society" ; Mrs. Warren's profession "even more boldly exposes the shameless degradation caused by the oppression of the capitalist system" ; Major Barbara reveals how "capitalism reduces human relationships to mere monetary ones" ; "Heartbreak House symbolizes the whole of bourgeois society", which finally "gets blown up" ; "On the rocks depicts the unemployed workers' struggle to overthrow the government".
