Award winning record

Character evaluation

Cao Kefan is a "more direct" person, willing to express his ideas in a direct way. Not necessarily true, but at least true. He has extensive reading, strong memory, mellow voice, versatile, and makes many friends. He is a professional TV host full of bookish atmosphere (China news network, Sina entertainment review).

Cao Kefan shows his dignity, and his "poisonous tongue" has left a deep impression on the audience. For Cao Kefan's "poisonous tongue", there are different opinions on the Internet. Cao Kefan's practice is very reasonable. After all, he is an old man, and his questions are not made up out of thin air. Many of them are really aimed at the weakness of the players, and they also come to the point, which is a good warning and reminder for the players (Shanghai Hotline review).

He did a lot of "no business" things, writing books, singing Beijing opera, singing Yue opera, painting, making movies. As a matter of fact, it is precisely because of these "neglecting the proper work" that he has formed his own style (Dong Qing's comment).
