Feng Daqing's plays, just like her in life, always call for human kindness, conscience, and conscience, promote the sincerity, sincerity, and true love of human nature, and worry about the alienation, materialization, and deterioration of human nature. In her three plays "Chopin", "Zhao Yiman" and "Jingzhe", which feature real history and real people, she uses delicate and in-depth writing to show the brilliance of the protagonist's humanity. In particular, Zhu Qingyang in "The Jingzhe" worked hard for decades to take care of his mother in a vegetative state and support his father who had lost his labor.

What's rare is that when Feng Daqing portrays such a character, he does not exaggerate or add any pretense, and writes naturally and realistically.

Such a true and friendly artistic image, whether it is a hero or an ordinary person, has great personality charm.
