During the seminar, nearly 10 participants spoke successively. Li Shien, deputy secretary of the Party Group of Pingliang Federation of Literary and Art Circles, said that Zhang Liming's works are very heavy. The author is familiar with the current political ecology and has profound literary accomplishment. He has made great efforts in writing, so the characters portrayed are more realistic and the stories are more vivid. It is a relatively successful work. Mr. Hui Chenghua believes that the author's life is profound, the plot arrangement is compact and reasonable, and the reading is cordial, which can attract readers tightly. Mr. Wang Shaohua thinks this work is calm and serious, complex and novel. He tries to describe the broad social life through many phenomena that people are used to, and profoundly reveals the essence of many practical problems. The author dug a well in the real earth, pulled out the crux of a series of universal problems, and revealed the essential problems behind the phenomenon. Mr. Luo Liuyuan believes that the works describe a broad social landscape in a panoramic way, showing a rich life in a limited space at four nodes: city, county, town and village. Mr. Li Guangxing believes that compared with similar novels popular in the market, the novel Boundless Sky also involves bureaucracy, formalism and corruption ugliness, but it does not just stay in the shallow exposure of the dark side, but pays more attention to the deep-seated mechanism that produces these phenomena. Therefore, the biggest difference between it and popular novels is that it reflects the authenticity and profundity of real life, not only depicts a variety of personnel and living conditions, but also reveals people's interests and psychological feelings at different levels. Mr. Hao Jing thinks that the author has handled the problem of the distance between literary works and life well, and expounded the relationship between art and life scientifically and prudently, with strong story and fast plot advancement. Mr. Fan Xiaomin believes that the novel has a clear story, moving twists and turns, clean and vivid language, thought-provoking and clear and compact structure, and it is a work that has taken some effort. Mr. Ma Yulong believes that the novel deeply analyzes the ecological chain of contemporary China officialdom, depicts the broad social life, and truly reproduces all kinds of officialdom and world, with rigorous overall planning, proper narrative rhythm, vivid and true content and excellent characterization skills. This novel is undoubtedly the most successful novel published by Pingliang local writers. Mr. Liang Yongzhong believes that revealing the complicated and subtle relationships between superiors and subordinates, fellow villagers, marriage, classmates, relatives, friends and interests in real officialdom is one of the strengths of Zhang Liming's novel "Days are Bound", and the author has made a profound analysis and performance of these relationships. The author describes not a person, but a city under the historical background of China's reform and opening up, which makes the novel representative and profound.

Most participants thought this novel was a breakthrough in novel creation in Longdong area and even in Gansu province. At the same time, during the discussion, the participants objectively analyzed the shortcomings in the novel creation, and thought that as a current political novel, it still lacked profound ideological content, the main characters were still thin, the words were slightly sketchy, and the descriptions of the scenes and characters' psychology were also lacking. Zhang Liming said that he will continue to work hard to write more and better works in his future works.
