One day, Wu Han asked Zhu Ziqing to sign the declaration of "Protesting American aid policy to Japan and refusing to accept American aid flour". He resolutely signed his name and said, "I would rather die of poverty and illness than accept such insulting charity."
In August of this year (1948) and 12, Zhu Ziqing was poor and died in Beijing. Before he died, he told his wife, "I signed a document rejecting American flour, and our family will never buy American flour rationed by the Kuomintang again." Zhu Ziqing was seriously ill and would rather starve to death than accept "relief food" from the United States.

Throughout the development history of modern prose in China, the achievements of prose in the May 4th period have the greatest influence on modern and contemporary prose creation. The writer with the highest prose achievement in this period should be the first to recommend Zhu Ziqing.
In Zhu Ziqing's prose, the chapters describing scenery and emotions are highly praised, among which the part describing natural scenery, with sincere feelings, careful observation and rich imagination, constitutes a rich poetic artistic style.
The Qinhuai River is brightly lit under the moon, and the original painting Ling Bo blends with the pleasure and longing of tourists, while the disappointment, contradiction and disillusionment caused by folk singers' singing means that "the beautiful night scene is also reduced".
The touching point of Zhu Ziqing's prose is that he writes scenery with emotion and narrates with substance. On the basis of profound classical literature, he integrated Chinese and Western cultures and created a prose system and style with China national characteristics.
