“She is my butterfly.”
There are many sighs and emotions, but this is the only tear point in the whole film.
He chased after her who was forced to leave, loosed his hair and scattered light behind him, he said "She is my butterfly", this year he was eight years old.
He was told "you can do whatever you want" but he couldn't keep her.
This is the first time he has faced an irreversible parting, the first time he has been cut off from attachment, the first time he has faced his inability to do anything, and the first time he has felt shackles.
He doesn't know his future.
There will be partings in the future, and there will be closed palace gates in the future.
In the future he will throw the white rat against the palace gate, just like killing himself.
But he will be silent. Because he has no butterfly anymore.
See Xi Yaoyao's film review "You can't keep up with all the departures, and you can't open all the doors."
At the age of eight, the butterfly flies away, the door is closed, and your footsteps can only stop.
