Huang Kai's literary talent is flying and his personality is free and easy. His ideas and creativity are always amazing. Huang Kai is very popular. He always laughs and has a good sense of humor. However, when he is angry, he always has something to say. Huang Kai's Ci works are the best embodiment of the combination of his chivalrous spirit and philosophy of life. Writing words in classical Chinese is like a steel line, which will fall on one side if he is not careful. Only by learning the five classics can we appreciate it. (Sina online review)
