He was inclined to have positive discussions about the images of the grandmother and her grandchild and their affective interaction and wrote “the extension of memories and emotions,” “entanglements of and desire for family love,” and “conflicts and interdependence between grandparents and grandchildren under the social structure” to show diverse and rich affection between the grandmother and her grandchild. With respect to the content of Huang's creation thought, he held both positive and negative perspectives on family patterns and ethic thinking including his positive approval of the “grandparenting” relationship and negative care for it, his care for physical, mental and spiritual states of elders and his reflection upon filial piety in the “aged society” and showed his approval for scenery and customs in his hometown, moral wisdom and the extension of social culture in the section of “Identification with Family and Inheritance.”
