雖然石燕子年紀比何非凡仲後生兩歲，但何非凡都拜佢為師學藝，嗌他做師父，羅家寶亦曾經係佢旗下演員。不過1980年代佢喺香港電臺《紅伶訴心聲》專訪節目入邊曾經評價，話何非凡同羅家寶都淨係專注唱腔，忽略粵劇喺表演各方面演、打、翻、唸等五功、五法藝術。
Although Shi Yanzi is two years younger than He Feifei, He Feifei worships him as a teacher and calls him a master, and Luo Jiabao was also his actor. However, in the 1980s, he once commented in the interview program of Radio Television Hong Kong's "Red Lady Tells the Heart", saying that He Feifei and Luo Jiabao only focused on singing, ignoring the five skills and five arts of Cantonese opera in all aspects of performance, such as acting, playing, flipping, and reciting.
