Underneath the poor and rough appearance of the protagonists, there is a chivalrous spirit of magnanimity, sincerity, and promise. Although the novel is not about martial arts, it uses folk ideas of "chivalry" throughout. From the title to the story content and the spoken dialect in the book, "Danfeng Street" is full of pure Nanjing flavor. In the long corridor of Chinese new literature, there is no novel that can vividly depict the urban culture and customs of Nanjing, the capital of the Republic of China, like Zhang Henshui's "Danfeng Street". Although "Danfeng Street" is not Zhang Henshui's particularly famous masterpiece, it shows his skill in the description of genre paintings, style paintings and landscape paintings. It is the "Along the River During Qingming Festival" in Nanjing during the Republic of China.

"Eighty-One Dream" is a new stage in Mr. Zhang Henshui's works. This new stage breaks through the barriers of old novels from the old era and opens up a new situation. The meaning is far-reaching, implicit and heroic. This is a true portrayal of Mr. Zhang Henshui's mentality of persisting in resisting Japan and serving the country to the death during the Anti-Japanese War. After the Nanjing Massacre, Zhang Henshui submitted a petition to the government, requesting to go to the mountains to fight guerrillas at his own expense, but there was no way out. He put his strong patriotic enthusiasm and loneliness on paper, and created a large number of anti-Japanese novels based on real people and true stories, leaving many precious histories of the Chinese nation's resistance to foreign invaders. "Eighty-One Dream" is a work that reflects the "painful lessons" of the Anti-Japanese War. Together with "Bashan Night Rain", it is called the "pinnacle work" of Zhang Henshui's works.
