From 1925 to 1972, despite the changes in the world, Feng Zikai’s prose spanned half a century and was always as light as water, telling great truth from trifles of daily life and casting lingering influence with words between the lines.
“People only know that his comics are fascinating, but they don’t know that his prose is fresh and profound, and his spiritual wisdom and open mind are far more than what he has drawn with his brush.” By Yu Dafu
“(Feng Zikai’s prose) like fallen petals, involves human feelings.” By Yu Pingbo
“Any trivial matter, in his work, embodies a charm, which is incredible.” By Junichiro Tanizaki
“(Feng Zikai) is the most artist-like artist in contemporary China.” By Yoshigawa Kōziro
“Wherever I could find his essays, I read them. Whenever I read his essays, it makes me feel like I meet an old and amiable friend with joy. He wrote in a very simple and sincere manner. His happiness and sorrows, his luckiness and unluckiness tightly grasp my heart.” By Ba Jin
“I often use the two Chinese characters ‘Qing (clear)’ and’ He (harmonious)’ to summarize Zikai’s character. Zikai has his own subtle way of thinking and pursues interpersonal harmony but ‘not associate himself with others’. He is an active man who enjoys quiet, without being sophisticated.” By Zhu Guangqian
