Hong argues that in Waiting for Godot Beckett designed a uniquely circular dramatic form in which the play's language remains aloof of external referentiality, and argument resonant of early poststructuralist readings in the West.

3 1991 Aufführung von Deng dai Geduo = Waiting for Godot by Samuel Beckett an der Central Academy of Drama, unter der Regie von Meng Jinghui.
Meng Jinghui : Is there anyone in the audience truly willing to go on an adventure with us to shatter this illusory mirage, to rebuild a remembered homeland, and to capture, as far as our eyes can reach, the landscape that surrounds us ? This is what we want to know. To kindle the embers of our passion, safeguard our abode of existence, and look back with more intense candour, wakefulness and vigilance – this is what we can do. It is a pity that for various reasons we have not been able to materialize our dreams on the stage, when the mere throught of these dreams has left us quivering with thrills.
Cao Xueping : The audience sat on the stage and watched the two 'angry young tramps', Hu Jun as Vladimir and Guo Tao as Estragon, waiting for Godot, and displaying the irrational rebellion and depression of youth. The presententeion, in the words of Meng, was 'suppressed, unstilted, marked by its cruelty, poetry and violence – the violence of language and the violence of violence'. As the violence mounted, Vladimir smashed the window panes with his sizeable black umbrella and brought the performance to an end.
