Zhou Guoping used the topic of returning to nature, travel, and daily life, and expressed and expanded his understanding of life and love for nature from a unique philosophical perspective: Time flies, and the world is noisy. I have to be vigilant. It is not easy to maintain a childlike interest and leisurely mind on the journey of life. If one day I just immerse myself in various matters in life and no longer have the interest to stand by the car window to watch the scenery along the way and listen to the music in my heart, then I will be truly old-fashioned, and I will have failed to live up to this wonderful journey of life. Two lives have existed at the same time in the world. Even if they never meet, there is still a touching connection between them. I believe that this cherishing and understanding of life is the deepest source of all love in the world.

The subtitle of "Mom Courage and Her Children" is "Chronicle of the Thirty Years' War", and the background is the Thirty Years' War in Germany in the 17th century. Anna Fairling, known as the "Courageous Mother", took her two sons and a mute daughter, pulled a truck and hawked goods with the army. She regarded the war as a means of livelihood and a source of wealth. A soldier looked at her truck and prophesied: "Whoever wants to live on war will have to hand it over something." This woman, who placed all her hope in life on war, eventually ended up with her family and her family destroyed. This is the tragedy of a woman who was not afraid to take risks and was reckless in order to make a living during the war. The name "Mother Courage" comes from the 17th-century German novelist Grimmelhausen's picaresque novel "The Liar and the Wanderer Kulasche". The word "Courage" in the Baroque era meant the "scheming" of women to seduce men. In Brecht's writing, it means the "courage" necessary for little people to survive.
