"The Hermit Mountains and Rivers" is different from the linear narrative structure of traditional biographical documentaries or the evaluation of surrounding characters. Instead, it is arranged in a muscle-like narrative manner. The six chapters are slowly progressive but independent of each other. They are restrained in expression and novel audio-visual, creating a new expression paradigm for biographical films, and its creative practice provides methodological inspiration for how to balance artistic reality and ideological depth in documentary films.

The soundtrack of "The Hermit Mountains and Rivers" is all composed of Chen Qigang's music. The intertwining and interaction of music and images allows the audience to experience the composer Chen Qigang's life philosophy of "sorrow and joy are the same origin" through audio-visual, and the courage conveyed by the film to be yourself and go back to your own world is also deeply resonated with the audience.

As a world-renowned composer, Chen Qigang is well known to the public for serving as the musical director of the opening ceremony of the 2008 Beijing Olympics and composing the theme song of the Beijing Olympics,"You and Me". In fact, Chen Qigang's artistic achievements go far beyond that. The large number of musical works he created show the rich core of China culture. Western media commented that Chen Qigang "tells the story of China culture in a language that the world can understand" and has become a window for the world to understand the spirit of China culture. Using music as a carrier, he created the possibility of communication between human souls and spanning different cultures, nations, and regions.

In recognition of Chen Qigang's achievements in the professional field and his positive role in cultural exchanges between China and France, the French government awarded him the "Knight of Literature and Art", a symbol of national honor.

The famous video artist Tang Hui said that he can make his peers empathize with the composer's tortuous life experiences. It can be seen that Director Guo Xufeng's ability to control music, audio-visual, events and the protagonist's views is extraordinary. He sees sincerity and feelings, and is also nourished.
