"As the 'Red Literary and Art Light Cavalry', the Hebei Heart to Heart Art Troupe has been performing for the grassroots masses in the form of music, dance, quyi and other literary and artistic forms, and this drama is an active exploration to broaden its own performing arts path." Sun Demin said that the group of graduates of the western branch of Baoding College is an excellent example of the young strivers who have emerged in Hebei Province in recent years, and the young cast members of the Hebei Heart to Heart Art Troupe have overcome many difficulties and taken the lead in putting this typical deed on the stage, and the first performance is outstanding, which is worthy of recognition. He encouraged the Heart-saving Art Troupe to continue to polish and improve the play in the future and refine it into a fine work.

Zhao Huifen said that it is very happy to see that in recent years, the Heart-saving Art Troupe has tried to rehearse the big drama through several works such as "Sweet Water Bay", "No Insurmountable Winter - Medical Diary" and "A Different Life". This attempt at a large-scale complete repertoire will play a very good role in promoting the training of the talent team, which is conducive to the multi-faceted development of the heart-saving art troupe in the future and improving the overall quality of the cast and crew. "Through this play, I saw that the actors' stage presentation has made great progress than before, and has entered the realm of artistic performance and character shaping." Zhao Huifen said.

Ma Lizhe said that this drama shows a group portrait of an advanced collective, spanning more than 20 years, and it is a very difficult task to create a large number of touching deeds. Judging from the premiere effect of this drama, it has reached the psychological expectations of the audience. The design of each scene in the play has its own characteristics. Especially as a non-professional drama actor, although the performance of the actors of the Heart-saving Art Troupe is still a bit immature, the performance of the true feelings is enough to impress people. "The play is very meaningful, it itself shows a group of young people 'different life', and our work is also a 'different kind of drama'."

Wang Luxia expressed her appreciation for the structural design of the play's script. "The whole play consists of a prologue, six one-act skits, and an epilogue. The six small dramas are selected from different angles, with unique angles, complete content expressions, and distinct and unified themes, that is, the love and dedication of the western volunteer teachers, and their pursuit of professional ideals. It can be seen that the screenwriter has put a lot of effort into it. ”

Men Hongfeng said that the Heart-saving Art Troupe has overcome many practical difficulties in the process of creating and rehearsing this drama. Although there are still many gaps and deficiencies in the effect presented by the first performance compared with that of the professional theater troupe, the cast and crew of the troupe will, with a high degree of enthusiasm and firm confidence in artistic creation, polish the script in the next few months, strive for excellence, and present a literary and artistic masterpiece with ideological depth and aesthetic height to the audience.
