He pays tribute to that period of history which he believes he is part of it through the rewriting of Mao Zedong's character and presenting a China with historical significance, and becomes the singer of that era in his own way.

　　His manifestation mode is diametrically opposite to that of his peers. He rejects ridicule and criticism; instead, he pictures Mao Zedong full of smile with an open attitude to China's new vision to recognize a historical progress and to express a sense of hope for the future. From XU Deqi's point of view, it shall be bright and cheerful and just like the spring with flowers everywhere.
