A slightly older person first met him, and it was through the "storytelling sound" emitted from radio waves .

He was a household name at that time and was also known as the number one in China's radio novels. Since the late 1950s, has spoken about more than 20 novels including "Military Explosion Team", "The Great Sword", "The Fire King Kong", "The Fierce Island Angry Tide". His novels have caused spectacular scenes in which thousands of people were empty.
"The most important thing in speaking novels is to shape the characters, so that the characters can be established and stylized." Years of recording of radio dramas have allowed Xue Zhongrui to master a set of broadcasting skills. Because telling big books is the art of sound, in addition to telling stories, oral skills is also very important. Through the microphone, wind, rain, thunder, horses, dogs, guns, fire, and waves, etc., the real atmosphere of the story will be improved.

"One minute on stage, ten years of hard work off stage." Whether it is storytelling, drama performance, or film and television shooting, he devoted himself to "do it to the best". He treated every role in this way and passed on this attitude towards art with his own practice.
Xue Zhongrui's summary of his artistic career is: "Artist is clumsy at first, and gradually becomes clever. Crafts lead to brilliantness, and after the brilliantness is simple." He said that the knowledge that a person knows in his life is limited, and most of the classic things are "simple". It is like this for people to be skilled, "So I often warn myself not to be arrogant when rising, and not to be sad when falling, and continue to walk along the path in his heart."
