In the 1990s, some reportage reflecting educational themes reflected the author's broad vision, which expanded from paying attention to teachers to paying more attention to teachers and students. In addition, the author links education with poverty, which reflects the "alternative" scene in China society from a special angle. The documentary "Project Hope" by Huang Chuanhui, a military writer, truly describes this educational project with special significance. "In recent years, at least 5 million children in China have dropped out of school every year because of family poverty", which makes people deeply feel the seriousness of the problem. How can a person who cares about the fate of the nation be indifferent in the face of "65.438 billion pairs of hungry eyes"? This work has aroused great repercussions in society. Another of his works, China Mountain Village Teachers, is dedicated to mountain village teachers who load the Chinese nation with their own backbones. Teachers in mountain villages have great mental and material difficulties. They use their lives to pay off the debts of the society and exchange their poverty for the inheritance of the light of mountain village civilization. Some details provided by the works cannot but arouse people's deep reflection. A mountain village teacher who won the "Hope Project Garden Award" attended the commendation meeting. "Someone needs to borrow the money to come to Beijing" because "she hasn't been paid for several months", while the village "is building a commercial street and buying a car, and the money is not enough, and the teachers' salaries are also on it".

Between the lines of the work, there is deep sympathy for the teachers in the mountain village, and at the same time, it also expresses the author's indignation at the corruption in the "village". He Jianming's novel Tears are Gold is unique in the news. For the first time, the author systematically and deeply reported the living situation and psychological world of poor college students in the form of reportage, and the legendary real cases in his works attracted many readers. By describing a specific theme, the author reflects the main ideas contained in proverb titles. In the author's view, "tears" are a symbol of suffering, and suffering is a fortune in life. And "tears" should not be just poor college students, but should include everyone, because here, "tears" does not mean surrender to fate, but means burden and responsibility, and means self-improvement and forge ahead.
