His collection of popular songs "100 Family Love Songs" was published in 16 volumes by Shanghai Civilization Book Company, which had a huge impact in China at that time. The Little Painter, which he wrote and composed in 1928, is considered the origin of Chinese opera in the 20th century. Li Jinhui also introduced Chinese pop songs to the country. In recent years, an American musician published a book "Yellow Music", which means the music of the yellow people. He called Li Jinhui "the first person in yellow music" and pointed out: Li Jinhui pushed the development of Chinese music forward for "at least twenty years." Li Jinhui combined Western jazz with local Chinese folk music and promoted it in China and even Southeast Asia, making Chinese music develop internationally.
