I am fortunate to work with him on the drama "Winter Journey". Mr. Lan has taught me a lot, and I can really experience the atmosphere and subtlety of old Beijingers from him. Mr. Lan told me too many stories about various different Past times. What does Beijing look like without the Second Ring Road? He told me. Teacher Lan is gone, and the shadow of a great era has gradually passed away. I received news that Teacher Lan had passed away while working at the San Francisco Opera House. I stood in the lobby of the Opera House, looking at the blue sky outside the window, looking for a connection with him in that sky. Missing. Forever."

After learning the news of Lan Lanye's death, Wan Fang said, "Teacher Amano, you asked me to write a play for you. I wrote "Winter Journey".

Lan Lanye left a deep impression on him at that time. "His style is very unique. People who don't understand him think he is acting by 'Fan Er', but if you rehearse with him, you can feel his thoughts and the homework he has done. His acting is not as good as I have a lot of me, and even he was idle at home for a period of time. For more than ten years, he occasionally filmed, and most of the time he painted and wrote at home. I think it was a great time for a person to dive in. His outlook on life It must have entered some kind of open-mindedness.”

After hearing the news of Lan Lanye's death, Wang Keran felt very sad, and the past came up little by little, but he couldn't talk about it for a while. He said that the deepest feeling Lantian gave him was, "I saw from him the tireless and enterprising spirit of Beijing Renyi's generation in drama, the exploration and desire for innovation without any obstacles to drama, and the fact that they practiced themselves. Action, which has always encouraged me, nourished us to move forward in the drama. The master is far away, it is heartbreaking!"
