Many of Zhao Puchu's advice and opinions on the state affairs were accepted by Hu Yaobang and other state leaders. On Hu's passing in 1989, Zhao wrote an elegy in praise of his incorruptibility and daring of confronting difficulties on his own. The 83-year-old gentleman wrote this work full of emotion, with expressive brushstrokes conveying a dynamic momentum.
