Wang, Zuoliang. Lun Xiao Bona de xi ju yi shu. In : Wang, Zuoliang. Yingguo wen xue lun wen ji [ID D27920]. [On Shaw's dramatic art].
Wendi Chen : Wang distinguished Shaw from many other bourgeois writers who had not participated in actual working-class activities by stressing Shaw's active social participation. "The difference is to be found here", he wrote. "Other playwrights usually make their first literary attempts in theaters or in their studies, whereas Shaw experienced the evils of capitalist society first-hand during those years when he was unemployed, and he developed his argumentative skills while speaking in the streets and debating at various social meetings".
