"A lonely tree / Even its shadow will turn its back on it / / Unless a child brings a bucket of water every day / Heavier than himself / / Unless it takes root / The seed of tears" - Wang Jiaxin's "Tarkovsky's Tree"

Philosophy enables us to see the sins of human beings, and religion enables us to find the place of salvation for the soul. The wilderness by the sea is green and grassy, and the civilization of the city is decaying and gloomy. Human ambitions and selfish desires give birth to evil wars, and individual despair and panic in the sense of apocalypse. All the wisdom, literature, art and philosophy possessed by human beings are powerless in the face of violent war. Was Lars von Trier's "Melancholia" inspired by the old tower? All great artists have a heart of compassion, such as Lao Pagoda, Tuo Weng and Tuo Weng. Yang Dechang starts from the individual present and discusses the spiritual predicament of human beings; Laota looks down on all living beings and starts from the philosophy of all mankind. The same "preaching", the same compassion, and the same painful hope for the future of mankind.
