Fortress Besieged contains profound ideological implications.
The first is the level of social criticism. Through the life course of the protagonist Fang Hung-chien, the work criticizes the shortcomings of national politics and all sentient beings in the Kuomintang-controlled areas in the 1930s and 1940s, including the corruption and depravity of Shanghai's westernized commercial port, the backwardness and seclusion of mainland rural areas, and the corruption and depravity of education and intellectual circles.
The second is the level of cultural criticism. This is mainly achieved through the description of the "new Confucian forest" and the shaping of the image of a group of overseas students or senior intellectuals.
