Chen Yueyi, director of the Art Center, said that Qiu Huorong has a comprehensive skill in Beiguan music, as if the blood of Beiguan is flowing in his body. It can be said to be "eight chairs sitting thoroughly", with a unique style. His Beiguan music skills not only reflect the characteristics of the music itself but also inspire the younger ones. At the age of nearly 90, he is still devoted to teaching and selfless dedication. Impressive.

Qiu Huorong's friend and the head of Xiaoxiyuan's palm theater troupe, Xu Wang, came to the scene to support him. For so many close friends and the kindness of his younger generation in the opera industry, Qiu Huorong bowed frequently when he delivered a speech, humbly saying that he only read Japanese for 4 years when he was young, and he did not speak Mandarin. Clumsy in words, I constantly thank all circles for their support and encouragement to him.

The documentary "Art Legacy Beiguan Glory" can be purchased at the Xiqu Center, and 8 government publications have been designated to deposit libraries in the northern, central, southern and eastern regions of the country for free reading and use by the public.
