A moment of brilliance for the pure ideal

People often interpret the chrysalis breaking out of its cocoon into a butterfly: as a metaphor from life to death, it symbolizes that the body is left behind and the soul is self-liberating. From this it can be seen that there are two dichotomies in life. Everyone faces the duality of spirit and material (body), as well as the duality of leaving a name and forgetting. On balance, most people reconcile with themselves in temporary physical and material gratification.

Rudy appeared on the screen as a minority who chose "Spiritual Persistence".

It may seem difficult for middle-class families to produce heroes in peaceful times, but Rudy's story reminds you that you are not helpless in this world. At the same time, Rudy is not a stylized inspirational hero. He is extremely ordinary, and the difficulties he encounters are no different from ordinary people. A lack of athleticism and poor schoolwork keep him stumped, but his father's influence and the death of a close friend foster and intensify his ideals. His perseverance infected many people, and the phenomenon became more and more intense. In the end, everyone supported him.

Rudy shakes the numbness and obedience of those people, awakening a certain idealism in them. He told every ordinary person that you are not trash, you are not born trash, no one orders you to pay for mediocrity, and no one stops you from realizing your ridiculous dreams.
