这幅作品是画家大朴（张爱民）风格变化的转折点，也是画风逐渐成熟的体现。从这幅作品中，我们看到画家作为一个艺术家的成长，看他以前的作品多为印象主义风格，而这幅作品则体现出他逐渐走向抽象表现主义，更加注重内心深处感情的表达。
作品通过娴熟的笔触，柔和的色彩，表达了傍晚时分，劳动者辛苦了一天，快快乐乐归家去的美好景象。同时，也反映了远在都市的打工者兴高采烈回家的景象。
When I met Dapu a few years ago, I was very pleased. I could tell he had talent, and he also listened to my critique of his work, which is a good thing for any professional to do. He was happy to meet me, too, because he though that I really understood his work, and, prior to meeting me, most of his works went directly to big collectors, leaving him little chance for exposure.
I have seen good development and experiment with differing styles from him, and this painting shows me that he has really grown, as an artist: it is pure expressionism with its larger bold dashes of the brush and its beautiful mix of colors. In fact, other dealer, when they see this painting, think that it from a much more mature artist.
