Zhou Zuoren schreibt über das chinesische Drama in Xin qing nian ; vol. 5, no 5 (Nov. 1918).
"On the constructive side, there is only adopting European-style New Drama. Now there are people who make a fuss over the European style and are afraid to talk about “Westernization”. Actually, transferring the literature, art, and academic studies to our country does not mean to be conquered by another country. It is only that civilized things evolving from the barbaric stage are first discovered in Europe. Therefore we make a leap and bring these things here to save much effort on our part. These things brought to our country become ours, and there is no question of Westernization or not."
