most of his works reflect the campus life of young students and their spiritual feelings about beautiful nature, such as China is good, the talk of geese flying in the south, new snow, climbing the mountain, starry sky and Yang Hua. Some works express the author's concern for social reality and deep feelings for the motherland, such as Patriotic Commemoration Song of the May 4th Movement, Song of National Revolution, Song of National Disaster, Song of Joining the Army, Mourning Quotation for Huang Xing and Cai E, Mourning the Prime Minister's Mourning for Sun Yat-sen, and so on.
