The protagonist of "Praying for Rain" is a Dragon King Temple in Jindouping Village. The novel shows the struggle of rural people against feudal superstition in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China and their final victory. The text is humorous and vivid, and it is a very excellent work. "Floor" explores the debate over who creates wealth between "floor" and "labor" in the context of land reform at that time, through a dialogue between two characters named Wang - landlord Wang Laosi and primary school teacher Wang Laosan. "Little Manager" tells the story of how Sanxi, a young Communist Party member, transformed Wang Zhong, the old owner of the cooperative, through learning and wisdom, and successfully managed the cooperative. These stories reflect that in that era, through learning, practice, and struggle, individuals were able to grow and push the collective forward.

"Pan Yongfu, the Doer" begins with "Cihang Pudu". The older generation of boatmen at the five ferries all have connections with Pan Yongfu. In this way, Pan Yongfu, who is good at work, has exerted his professional qualities in the process of building bridges, building reservoirs, and developing farms. A very outstanding and vivid point in the novel is the formation of a set of "logic of indifference": there is not much difference between the house and the wild land, there is not much difference between the water and dry land, there is not much difference between day and night, and there is not much difference between labor and rest. It's very interesting. The image of cadres who work hard and down-to-earth is vivid in Zhao Shuli's writings. The subject matter is close to life and the language is popular. It is one of Zhao Shuli's excellent works.

As a dramatist, Zhao Shuli has written many drama scripts. He is deeply involved in local operas such as Shangdang Bangzi, which not only retains the characteristics of traditional opera, but also makes bold breakthroughs. Such as the adaptations of "Three Passes Banquet", "Ye Palace Pictures", "Han Yuniang", etc. "Sanguan Banquet" is adapted from Shangdang Bangzi's traditional play "Loyalty and Filial Piety Festival". It tells the story of the peace negotiation between the Northern Song Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom. Empress Dowager Xiao of the Liao Kingdom went to the Sanguan Banquet in person. The accompanying person turned out to be Yang Yanhui, the fourth son of the Yang family who surrendered to the Liao Kingdom more than ten years ago. Yang Yanhui was frightened in his heart, but his wife Princess Peach Blossom was still willing to deal with it after learning the truth. At the "Three Passes Banquet", Taijun She used the wine cup as a guide to reveal the secret secretly, and Queen Mother Xiao was shocked. This play demonstrates the moral principle of advocating loyalty with its exquisite layout. The script "Picture of Ye Palace" is based on the tyrannical rule of Zhao Tianwang Shihu after the Sixteen Kingdoms period. "Han Yuniang" also has a plot twist: in the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, a Henan woman named Han Yuniang was captured by the Jin soldiers. She was used as a tool by Zhang Wanfu's subordinate Ma Erhu and forcibly betrothed to Chen Pengju, a scholar who was also captured, in order to win people's hearts. In the bridal chamber, the two complained about the sufferings of their family and country. Yuniang learned that Yue's army was approaching and persuaded Pengju to join the army to serve the country. However, this triggered a series of tragedies. In the end, Han Yuniang died and her husband rushed to the front line. The balance between artistry and rationality, the game of dominance and resistance, and the intensive cultivation of the quintessence of drama give Zhao Shuli's drama a strong spiritual core.

The patriarch, Wang Laowan, took away Fugui's land through loan sharking and severely punished Fugui according to clan rules, completely legalizing his own exploitation. Fugui was desperate and became a trumpeter, which was considered a despicable profession, so he was treated as a "second-rate" unreasonably. Through these descriptions, we make a powerful accusation against the old society and severely criticize the forces of habit.

"Sanliwan" depicts the conflicts and entanglements in the agricultural cooperative movement in Sanliwan Village in the Liberated Area of ​​North China in the early 1950s, showing the conflict between advanced and backward rural forces, the arduousness of social change, and the important role of outstanding cadres of rural grassroots party organizations in promoting the cooperative movement.

Zhao Shuli's novel "Exercise" tells a story about rural social governance and individual behavior transformation. The story takes place in an agricultural cooperative and mainly revolves around two rural women with distinctive personalities and lazy behaviors - "Calf Pain" and "Not Enough to Eat". These two women used physical pain or hunger as an excuse to avoid collective labor, but in fact they were doing it to satisfy their personal interests. Faced with this phenomenon, Yang Xiaosi, the young deputy director of the cooperative, decided to take action and use clever methods to expose and correct their bad behaviors. The novel vividly depicts their cunning and self-deceptive images through a series of dramatic plot designs, such as "calf pain" who pretends to have leg pain during labor but moves forward in private affairs; "not full" who always complains about insufficient food but steals in private. At the same time, it also reflects the conciliatory attitude of some cadres in rural society at that time towards such issues, and how to promote positive changes in farmers' ideological awareness and behavioral habits through education and appropriate "exercise" (that is, tests and corrections in actual labor). "Exercise" is not only a work full of humor and satire, but also profoundly reveals the practical problems in rural social governance, and how to guide and educate the peasant masses through collective wisdom and strength, and promote the development of rural society in a healthier and positive direction.

The fifteen acres of land that Zhang Tiesuo's grandfather and father had worked hard to buy for two lifetimes was occupied by village chief Li Ruzhen and others.

"Sanliwan Li Youcai's Banhua" contains two works by Zhao Shuli, a literary representative of the Yaodan School: "Sanliwan" and "Li Youcai's Banhua". "Sanliwan" tells the story of a village called "Sanliwan" in northern my country in the early 1950s. Under the leadership of the township government and village cadres, through meticulous mobilization and enlightenment work, many people who still had strong private concepts in their minds changed their minds and resolved various sharp disputes with facts. Finally, under the leadership of the young people of the village league branch, the whole village, young and old, joined the agricultural cooperative and embarked on the road to common prosperity. "Li Youcai's Banhua" describes the tortuous and complicated struggle between farmers and landlord bullies when the democratic regime was first established. The novel reveals the despicable methods used by the bully landlord Yan Hengyuan to manipulate village political power behind the scenes, oppose rent and interest reductions, promote unity among farmers, and undermine policies and laws. It creates an artistic image of Li Youcai, a new farmer with integrity, strong wit, optimism, and humor. It also describes the growth process of the "little" generation who gather around Li Youcai.

"Heirloom" is set in the rural areas of the liberated areas in the 1940s, and revolves around the conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in an ordinary family. It shows the collision of old and new ideas and the impact of social changes on family relationships. The core characters of the story are mother-in-law Li Chengniang and daughter-in-law Jin Gui. Li Chengniang guarded an old dowry box that she regarded as a "family heirloom", which contained needles, threads, rulers, scissors, thimbles, pliers, dozens of kilograms of old cloth, and other "household management experience" she had accumulated over the years. She believed that running a household should be frugal and make one's own decisions in everything, which she believed was the foundation for maintaining a family. Men work outside and women work at home and keep to themselves. These concepts of the old society collided with all kinds of discordant notes when they met Jin Gui, the daughter-in-law who came to the Li family at the time of the transition between the old and the new. The old box that is regarded as a "family heirloom" actually symbolizes the replacement of the old feudal family concepts by the new ideas of democracy and equality; it criticizes the conservative and backward feudal patriarchy and commends the new society's "collective negotiation" and "democratic housekeeping" and other new concepts for the benign transformation of traditional family relationships. The writing of the book is smooth, the contradictions and conflicts are reasonable, the language is very simple, and the strong local flavor is overwhelming, which reflects Zhao Shuli's creative style of "writing for farmers and about farmers".

The protagonist of the novel, Fu Gui, was originally a capable young man. After his mother died, he owed money to Wang Laowan for weddings and funerals. He was exploited at all levels to gain land and debts. He had no choice but to gamble and steal. When he worked as a drummer, he was buried alive by the Wang family, so he had to flee. After liberation, he returned from the liberated area and only wanted to confront Wang Laowan and seek justice. Fugui's experience is the epitome of the old society's exploitation and devouring of the people at the bottom, and his finally daring to speak out and regaining dignity also demonstrates the power of the new society to break oppression and allow the people at the bottom to regain the value of life. Zhao Shuli's writing is full of "earthy flavor", simple and vivid, and accurately restores the rough texture of rural life, making it easy for readers to empathize with him. Times have passed, but the work still shines.

Zhao Shuli's "Meng Xiangying Stands Up" is based on Meng Xiangying, the "hero who survived the famine" in the Taihang Mountains. It does not follow the narrative mode commonly used in liberated area literature, which mainly shows the heroic deeds of characters after they turn over, but chooses the arduous transformation process of "how a person becomes a hero from a non-hero". This makes the novel present an artistic style that is different from many "new women" works on the theme of transformation at that time, giving readers different reading experiences and different gains. It is a very excellent rural short story.

"Registration" is set in rural North China and focuses on the theme of marital autonomy. The story is mainly based on the marriage experiences of two generations, Xiao Moth and Ai Ai, and unfolds in two lines. When the little moth was young, she had a beautiful appearance and had a young man she liked. However, her parents arranged to marry Zhang Carpenter. After the marriage, she was severely beaten by Zhang Carpenter, which left her with serious inner trauma. The rest of her life was dull and depressed. When Xiao Fei Moth's only daughter Ai Ai grew up, she was young, beautiful, lively, and dared to resist. She fell in love with Xiao Wan, a young man from the same village. However, she encountered various obstacles. Ai Ai's peers Yan Yan and Xiao Jin also encountered similar predicaments, and both could not love their lovers. This work by Zhao Shuli details the experience of his mother, the little moth, from the time when the classical Arhat money became a token. The two generations were suppressed, suffered, and finally awakened, as if being pulled by a token. In the end, love won. The new institution of marriage triumphed. With the whole society booming, the ideological progress in rural society is encouraging and hopeful.

"The Changes of Lijiazhuang" tells the story of the protagonist Zhang Tiesuo and his family who were oppressed by the landlord class in the countryside. They had no right to appeal and their land was occupied, so they had to leave their hometown. Later, under the leadership of the Communist Party, the rule of the landlord class was overthrown. "Three Mile Bay" has a profound description of the contradictions and conflicts that emerged in the agricultural cooperative movement and the changes in the relationships between people, from the autumn harvest, distribution, expansion of cooperatives, merger of cooperatives to preparation for opening canals.

"Li Youcai's Banquet" is a masterpiece of literature and art in the liberated areas. This novel tells the story of the landowner Yan Hengyuan who controlled the village power in Yanjiashan, a base behind enemy lines during the Anti-Japanese War. The village cadres committed corruption, theft, malpractice for personal gain, and oppressed the masses. However, they actually defrauded the villagers of the honor of "Model Village".
