The most attractive thing about A Sea Island Without Winter is that it portrays a group of characters of developers and entrepreneurs who are full of idealism and belief in a better life. Duan Wenxuan, the deputy mayor played by Shi Jingming, has a shocking performance in every major event. Shi Jingming has shaped Duan Wenxuan's image as an outstanding leader in the reform and opening-up period with a world vision. The other two male protagonists in the play are modern businessmen with different personalities. The richness of Sea Island without Winter lies in the fact that the characterization of those minor characters has not been neglected. The appearance of these supporting roles makes the plot tense, varied and fascinating. (Review of Liberation Daily)
