During the Anti-Japanese War, he composed a number of anti-Japanese war songs, such as "Battle Song of August 13th", "Defending Shanghai" and "Song of 800 Defending the Top Alone", which played a certain role in publicizing the Anti-Japanese War and boosting morale. In particular, his "War Song in the Lane" is widely circulated. He also donated clothes for soldiers in Shanghai and wrote the opera Peach Blossom Garden (written by A Ying).

Personal article
A letter from Mr. Chen Tian:
Brother Ding Xian, An Xue and Lu Ting: I just got back from China Funeral Home. My head is heavy. In front of me, I saw Master Huang's pale body and countless pairs of wet eyes. I wish I could cry with you now! According to the cloud, Huangshi's mother once fell to the ground in despair, and Huangshi's mother was in great pain. This sorrow belongs to them, to us and to the music industry in China. We will never hear such a farsighted and sincere dialogue again! In the next twenty or thirty years, China's music industry will lose its axis, and God will cruelly take away Huang, who is still in his prime, and this poor garden will be deserted. Oh! Master Huang! Its loyalty to music can not make people cry! According to Mrs. Huang, when she was ill, she cried in a low voice after her classmates went to pay homage. How can we repay Master Huang's love for us?
