Louisa Wei’s documentaries are not only thorough scholarly studies of modern Chinese cultural history (including the history of Chinese culture’s cosmopolitan dissemination throughout the world), but also what Shen Congwen would have called “history with feeling.” Wei’s combination of interviews with scholars, relatives, and acquaintances of her subjects with archival footage, music, animation, and paintings/drawings, in her film on the life of Chinese author Xiao Jun, becomes a unique mode of cultural narration, a genre of cultural discourse, that is Wei’s own. In this, it shares important characteristics with the best of Chinese documentary filmmaking.
魏時煜的紀錄片不僅包含了透徹的現代中國文化史的研究，（包括中國文化如何在世界傳播，）也是沈從文所說的「有感情的歷史」。 在這部關於蕭軍的紀錄片中，她把對於學者、親友的訪問，和新聞片、音樂、動畫、插畫結合起來，形成了一種帶有作者風格的文化文本，而作品本身也是華語紀錄片中的範本。

For those familiar with the cast of characters in modern Chinese culture, from Lu Xun to Ding Ling, Xiao Hong, Hu Feng, Duanmu Hongliang, the stories Wei tells are enriching and astonishing. Without particularly emphasizing gender, Wei also demonstrates much better than most existing academic accounts the extraordinary importance of women in the emergence of modern Chinese literary culture, not only as creators, but as mothers, wives, daughters, and sisters.
對於熟悉從魯迅到丁玲、蕭紅、胡風、端木蕻良等當代中國作家的讀者和學者來說，本片的故事中仍舊有很多令人震驚的細節。雖未特地強調性別，魏時煜所展示的五四之後湧現的「新女性」，不僅是成績卓著的創作者，也是母親、妻子、女兒和姐妹，她沒有割裂她們在生活中扮演的不同角色。

I have no way of imagining what someone unacquainted with modern Chinese culture would make of this film, but I can say that if I had seen this as a college student interested in China, it certainly would have enhanced this interest, as well as given me more of an “insider’s view” than most existing English-language published scholarship could.
我不能想像一個對當代中國文化不熟悉的人可以拍出此片，但是我可以說，如果我是一個對中國有興趣的學生，這部片子一定會進一步增加這種興趣，因為其中知情者透露的信息，在大部分英文讀物裏是找不到的。
