The authors of "Late at Night" use the common techniques in folk music creation, such as adding flowers, deleting simplification, tightening, filling at the end of sentences, and continuing writing, to turn the original sad and angry tune into a new, powerful and passionate music.
In Peking Opera "Beating Drum to Scold Cao" and "Farewell My Concubine", it is used to match scenes such as Mi Fei beating drum and concubine dancing sword. The arranger collected the length of each performance version, processed and adapted it, and expanded the music structure into a plate arrangement with introduction, followed by adagio, adagio and allegro.
