Hong Shen’s realist dramas have a distinct rational color (“the imagery is not enough and the subject matter is handled too mechanically”), showing a tendency of “mechanical realism” ( When starting to compile, always decide the desired final effect in advance, and then carefully and patiently find specific methods within the scope). The combination of social issue drama and propaganda drama is both a characteristic and a weakness of his drama.
