Liu Ye, the actor who played Chen Wangdao, said that he admired Chen Wangdao's two qualities: "First of all, he is a person of faith, so he has a special charm, which is a very noble quality. The second is his love and hatred. It is clear that he is usually a very dignified person, unsmiling, but when he is with the students, he smiles brightly, which is a kind of love; for some injustices, he dares to fight, and he is called a "red match". I admire that very much."
