Shen Jinbo also had an interlude in the foreign cultural exchange activities. At that time, a Frenchman deliberately asked him: "Do you know a contemporary theater master in our country?" Shen Jinbo immediately replied, "Molière." The Frenchman asked, "Do you think he still has the value of existence now?" The people who heard the voice all sweated for Shen Jinbo. At this time, Shen Jinbo still remained calm and replied quietly: "It depends on the French people." The French people think there is, otherwise it is the opposite. Shen Jinbo's decent answer won a round of applause from the audience.
His performances have the characteristics of gao and qi, mainly high school. The stage image of Yushu is windy, steady and dashing. Its singing voice is clear and high-pitched, and it is breathtaking. Gifted with his voice with a distinctive metallic voice. In particular, the image of Shao Jianbo's chief of staff created in "Wise Tiger Mountain" is free and free. The singing is wonderful, let people never get tired of listening, and become a household name. His singing of "Shuo Feng Blowing" has become a classic masterpiece in the history of Peking Opera.
