Is it the city that makes people's hearts colder or people's hearts change themselves? Is it the family that traps the person or does the person themselves become selfish? Ignorance in childhood, rebelliousness in youth, mediocrity and selfishness in adulthood, loneliness in old age, this is the case all your life, where are you now? Noriko showed me what a model wife looks like. At the end of the film, my father, Zhou Ji, made me afraid of being alone in old age. That is the loneliness that kills people.

Kyoko: [after the rest of the family had left] I think they should have stayed a bit longer.
Noriko: But they're busy.
Kyoko: They're selfish. Demanding things and leaving like this.
Noriko: They have their own affairs.
Kyoko: But you have yours too. They're selfish.
Noriko: But Kyoko...
Kyoko: Wanting her clothes right after her death. I felt so sorry for poor mother. Even strangers would have been more considerate!
Noriko: But look Kyoko. At your age I thought so too. But children do drift away from their parents. A woman has her own life, apart from her parents, when she becomes Shige's age. She meant no harm I'm sure. They have to look after their own lives.
Kyoko: I wonder: I won't ever be like that. Then what's the point of family?
Noriko: But children become like that, gradually.
Kyoko: Then... you, too?
Noriko: I may become like that in spite of myself.
Kyoko: Isn't life disappointing?
Noriko: Yes, it is.
