With the flexibility and persistence of a hero, he presents one by one the lightness of the era after its ups and downs, and the inclusiveness of its beauty after its fragmentation. That is his most dazzling youth and blood burning fiercely, even after the ashes are enough to start a prairie fire[2](Netease Entertainment Review)。
Zhang Jiarui has been famous for his literary style since his debut. From the Fragrant Journey to the Red River, many of his works have been focusing on the hearts of small people and the living conditions of the bottom people, and he is also very good at packaging literary films in the form of commercial films.Zhang Jiarui is good at using new people when making films.

Every Spring Festival《Fragrant Journey》Zhang Jiarui, the director of[26]This is his unchangeable habit for many years, because "there is only one old mother at home".As a filmmaker, I usually travel around and work hard, and the Spring Festival is the only day I can go home and get together.However, the unexpected arrival of the COVID-19 epidemic made the reunion an unprecedented long time. While enjoying the reunion with his mother, he also saw the sad scenes of those compatriots who suffered from the epidemic, which made him worried and painful.During this time, he read Camus' novel Plague at home. Although he read it many years ago, this time he felt totally different. He found that Camus had already made a brilliant description of the unknowability of the epidemic, the absurdity in life and various human struggles in his novel, which shocked him very much.He also reread Garcia Marquez's One Hundred Years of Solitude, from which he felt a "new loneliness and human greatness".
He sighed repeatedly when he mentioned the epidemic situation in Wuhan.Nearly one third of the scenes of his new work, The Call Through Time and Space, which has not yet been released, were shot in Wuhan.He took photos of the Yangtze River Bridge, the Yellow Crane Tower, and Wuhan University of Technology, from Wuhan to Yichang.
In the face of this once-in-a-century dangerous epidemic, Director Zhang Jiarui has repeatedly stressed that we must seriously reflect on it after the epidemic. Especially in recent years, with the rapid development of the economy, people's lives are operating at a high speed like machines, and are threatened by the trend of the times,"We seldom stop to think about the meaning of life, life, life and death as a person. I hope that each of us can do some reflection after the epidemic. The Chinese traditional culture stresses love for life and compassion, which tells us that we need to make some changes[26]。”
