A very simple fairy tale, but the meaning is not simple. Norman is yin and yang, so he always talks to himself. People in the town, including his family, treated him differently, bullied him, and alienated him. The witch legend in the town turned out to be true. It turned out that a girl like Norman was innocently tried and turned into a ghost to take revenge on all the residents. In the end, Norman persuaded her, the grievances were over, and the soul rested in peace. The story is very simple, but only adults can understand grudges and hatreds, because adults' psychology is more narrow, and they are full of hostility to things they don't understand and fear, and ultimately harm others and themselves. Let go of the grievances, let go of the past, and take a step back to see the sky.
