"Wang Hui's four-volume book The Rise of Modern China Thought is voluminous. The first volume focuses on the central proposition of the relationship between "reason" and "thing", and discusses the theme of "natural justice" of Confucianism in Song and Ming Dynasties. The second volume turns to the issue of "empire/country", first proving that they are the dominant modern binary opposition concepts used by the west (including Japan) when analyzing China, and then demonstrating that they have basic defects in understanding the national characteristics of the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China; The third volume analyzes the important thinkers in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, and reveals that when they transformed the old world outlook of "justice" into an axiomatic world outlook, they not only integrated the western scientific view of justice, but also maintained the traditional ethical and political concern for "justice" in "justice"; Under the above background, the fourth volume discusses how modern "scientific discourse * * * is the same body" became the core theme of China's thought in the 20th century. The four volumes are spread out 1608 pages, and there is only one chapter "Introduction", which is more than one hundred pages long. " (Huang Zongzhi: Exploring the Modernity of China)

On March 10, Literature and Art Research published the long article "Wang Hui's style of study in the struggle against despair-Lu Xun and his literary world" by Wang Binbin, a professor of Chinese literature at NTU. It is alleged that there are many plagiarism in the book "Fighting Despair", and many experts have responded to this, saying that plagiarism theory is difficult to establish. Sun Yu, a professor of Chinese Department in Peking University, director of Lu Xun Museum, Zhao Jinghua, a researcher at the Institute of Literature of China Academy of Social Sciences, and many other Lu Xun research experts were interviewed by reporters on whether resisting despair constitutes plagiarism, whether Wang Hui can distinguish Liang () from Lu () and his motives. All three experts said that the book did have "technical problems" such as insufficient citation, but it was hard to say that Wang Hui had maliciously copied it. Wang Binbin had written an article insulting Wang Meng and another professor of Chinese Department of Tsinghua University, Lan Dizhi, so some people questioned Wang Binbin's motives, and "factional struggle" and "taking people by name" were all mentioned.
