In this account of social history Ho Fan's adherence to the principle of giving painful but sorely needed criticism and advice to society, using both tact and sarcasm, pointing out the rationale behind events, and spurring people into realization means that his writing is a case of digging up issues as opposed to faultfinding, humorous satire with a light touch of biting irony and not a carping diatribe.
在這部社會發展史中，由於何凡先生執著「鍼砭社會、宜婉宜諷、能夠微中事理，促人省悟，才有意義」，所以是發掘問題而不是吹毛求疵，是微帶辛辣的幽默諷刺而不是尖酸刻薄的漫罵。
