Yu, Shangyuan. Jin ri zhi Meiguo bian ju jia Aoni'er [ID D28770].
Yu discussed the introduction of Eugene O'Neill into China and gave brief synopses of a number of O'Neill's plays, including 'Beyond the horizon', 'The emperor Jones', 'Anna Christie', 'The hairy ape', and 'The first man'. He categorized them as plays ranging from symbolism, realism, psychology, and expressionism to the discussion of social problems and the portrayal of characters. In addition to summarizing the mentioned plays, Yu also tried his hand at assessing O'Neill's contribution to drama by commenting 'O'Neill's writing style as wee as his characters thrives with vitality. His dramatic technique is extraordinary and he always creates something new'. With Walt Whitman, American poetry can be seen as full-grown ; with O'Neill, true American theatre appears on the world stage'.
