Hargreaves noted that he was touched by the relations between Xiaoyezi and grandpa, and Chen believes that Jin's works highlight the inner feelings of human beings – love, life, and sweet memories about childhood, and so can inspire readers to think about human society.

Jin also expressed hope that Phoenix Juvenile and Children's Publishing Ltd will continue building a bridge of communication via books that introduce Chinese fairy tales to the world and thus promote cultural exchanges between China and other countries.
