In Peking University in the1980s, surprisingly, he was the "Three Musketeers on Campus" as well as poets Haizi and Luo Yihe. With the change of times environment and self-pursuit, Nishikawa's poetic style has taken on a new look after1990s, and it has become more and more prosaic in recent years.
Nishikawa once said that people who didn't write poems in the1980s were sick, and those who were still writing poems in the1990s were sick. 1989, Haizi was lying on the tracks in March, and Luo Yihe died in May, leaving only him in the "three of us".

He is a contemporary poet as famous as Haizi. After the death of his good friend Haizi, he spent a lot of time, effort and selfless work to spread the works of his old friends, which made Haizi's poems widely circulated and deeply rooted in people's hearts.
