Like "Story of Sicily" and "Sunny Day," it's a coming-of-age story. Although the protagonist Jesse is the only boy in the family, he is not as petted as he is in a Chinese family. Instead, he is ridiculed by his sisters and neglected by his parents. He is also a bullied student at school. Li's arrival changed everything for him. From then on, life was no longer gray and sad. They had a kingdom that only two people knew, where they were a prince and a princess. But unfortunately on the day Jesse and the teacher went to the museum, Leslie drowned under their kingdom bridge.
As each of us experienced when we were young, although we are in different countries, we all want to have our own kingdom, or we are not ordinary characters, and we have close childhood playmates.
Either Leslie wasn't dead, but Jesse had grown up, or Leslie was basically just Jesse's imaginary friend. Because we grew up, they had to disappear or die, the only thing left were our memories, that's all.
When a person can't face the various turns or "betrayals" in his life, we can't face the friends and confidants who are in distress in our life, so we have to "kill" them, and at the same time kill the past. Own.
However, in old age, when people reflect on the many turns or "betrayals" in their lives, they have to "resurrect" them, so the encounter of old friends becomes a scene of hugging and weeping.
