She also has a gentle inspiration for the frustrated Boya, allowing Boya to break through himself in loneliness and grief and create moving music.
""Cheng Lian and Boya" packs a lot of things into a limited and short story frame. Although the outer shell is a growth story from having a piano to not having a piano, from artifact skills to metaphysics, it is packed in The language is like a storm, reflecting many aspects. If you cut it from one fragment or one aspect, you can get rich expressions, such as silence and speech, art and violence. The sentences and rhetoric of the poet Huang Lihai are fluid. Sometimes it is very creol-like, like a collage. When you listen to the performance of these lines with your senses in the audience, you will feel overwhelmed."

""Cheng Lian and Boya" is the first local original poetry drama to be put on the stage in the history of Guangdong literature, and it is also a bold breakthrough in China. The staggered stairs and the reeds swaying in the wind, two elements present the The stage effect combines elegance and pastoral, and the music is sometimes ethereal and vast, and sometimes it is mysterious and deep, reflecting the high level of stage beauty," the poet Li Wenqiao said.
Huang Lihai said: "Bo Ya's famous song "Mountains and Flowing Water" is not an ordinary thing. It has traveled through the stars and years, and was also sent into space and broadcast to the universe. It must have its inherent temptation and mystery. It comes from the song after the Western Zhou Dynasty. After staring for a period of time, in the abnormal light, I recognized Boya, Chenglian, Bran, Muti, and Fang Zichun. Their chivalrous and heroic spirit, literary spirit and fairy spirit permeated together, but their outlines appeared one by one. This is The human state is also the spiritual form of the Spring and Autumn Period. This poetic drama should be emotional, mysterious, and vibrant. Just like the water of life lifted up from the deep and cool well of wisdom, it can still nourish the innocence and innocence that are missing today. Ideal, hope and love. Boya's "High Mountains and Flowing Waters" is more than just the epiphany of human beings in nature. What I touched in "High Mountains and Flowing Waters" is not only the unity of nature and man, but also a performance of love. —Glory to love, still exuding eternal temptation, still looking for a better translation on the earth."
