Character evaluation
Zhao Lirong performed many supporting roles on the stage of Pingju, but on the stage of sketch, she is the leading role, and many comedy stars are eclipsed in front of her. On the TV screen, she is a kind, humorous and witty grandmother, and a real people's artist. (Sina entertainment evaluation)
Zhao Lirong has created many comic characters with different personalities, humor, vividness and popularity. Many years of stage experience and comic talent have finally been fully displayed on the sketch stage. Her sketches are not kitsch, exquisite and never tire of reading.
