The novel "Lilies" intercepts the story of a frontline bandaging center in half a day against the broad background of the liberation war. From one side, it reflects the profound theme of civil-military unity, life and death and ****, and receives the artistic effect of seeing the big in the small.

In the characterization is quite ingenious, works with the method of contrast and set off, through the lily quilt, wild chrysanthemums, steamed buns and a series of details such as ragged holes in the clothes, delicate delineation of the character, so that the character image is vivid and rich, with flesh and blood.

The plot arrangement is centered on details, cleverly using "I" to run through the whole story, making the plot development coherent and natural, especially the "quilt with white lilies on top of a date-red background" mentioned three times in the novel. It is used repeatedly to emphasize the symbolic meaning of the title and also to make the plot more coherent.

The whole work is tightly structured, clear and echoing. Around the incident of borrowing the quilt, the characters of the young correspondent and the new daughter-in-law are vividly portrayed. In the end, through the concentrated description of the new daughter-in-law, the moving image of the little correspondent is strongly emphasized.

The language of the work is fresh and natural, with strong lyricism.
