Even though in her chronicling of ways of life that are fading away Lee inevitably comes across sorrowful subject matter, she does not infuse her films with sentimentality or regret. One feels, rather, serene penetration and perceptiveness. Perhaps what infuses all of her creative work comes from those qualities that Li herself exudes.
雖然她的影片是紀錄一段已隕落或即將沒落的歷史，難免會觸碰到傷感的情境，但影片中看不到激情或悲憤，反而有一種淡淡的、豁達且洞悉世事的情緒貫穿全片，這也許是源自李香秀本身的淡泊個性，卻也造就出屬於她個人的創作風格。
