According to the critic Peggy Chiao, "His next two films, That Day, on the Beach and Taipei Story, both made their mark on Taiwan's film circle: in its released version, That Day, on the Beach ran for two hours and forty minutes; Taipei Story, meanwhile, had only a four-day run in the theaters."
「他的下兩部電影《海灘的一天》和《青梅竹馬》，都創下了台灣影壇的某些記錄：《海灘的一天》堅持用二小時四十分長的放映版本，《青梅竹馬》四天匆匆下片。」
