There was once a question on Zhihu whether Liu Hongchang was a good man. Respondents have different opinions, some think that Liu Hongchang is a responsible and imperfect good man. There is a plot in the play that Hong Chang told Wen Tao: Men are mountains, and women are backers. If you want to fight, you have to kill. Wen Tao kept in mind that some people thought he was ordering his brother-in-law to kill people, but in fact Wen Tao didn't correctly understand the meaning of this sentence.
What he means is that a man should be responsible and have the courage to protect women. Liu Hongchang is a chef who cooks large intestine in the canteen. After all, he is a clown with limited education. He didn't express himself accurately, but Wen Tao might misunderstand. Of course, he sometimes does too well and treats his family in every way, big or small. This is too tired, but it's unnecessary. Just like Vader, you don't have to do anything as long as you study hard. Wanda has never done housework, and he can't even cook. He can't eat until his brother-in-law comes back, and Yu Qiuhua won't let him. As a result, Wenda is vain and loves the poor and the rich.
In fact, Liu Hongchang can also choose Yang Maixiang or another woman after Wen Hui leaves, as long as she comes here to help from time to time. But instead of doing so, he gave up the opportunity to choose, perhaps out of guilt for Wen Hui, responsibility for this family, and Wen Hui's entrustment. However, it's really hard to get enough money to support Wenda to go to school for more than ten years and protect this family until Wen Tao comes back.
