The genius of "Don't Tell Her" is to use what Billy saw and heard, her inner entanglement, and her relationship with family members during the wedding process. The various interactions of the film make the aspects involved in the film extremely broad. "What if she wants to say goodbye?" Billie asked a question whose answer seemed obvious, but could never be answered. People regard the wedding as a once-in-a-lifetime big day, but they ignore that getting along after marriage is the key point.

"Don't Tell Her" very truly reveals the most unwillingness to bring up the contradictions in Chinese families, whether it's family members who are scattered all over the place until their mother is about to pass away, and they don't care about their family members.

The Farewell quotes

  • Billi: [frustrated] Are you going to tell Nai Nai?

    Haiyan: I can't, Billi. I won't go against my family.

    Uncle Haibin: Billi, there are things you misunderstand. You guys moved to the West long ago. You think one's life belongs to oneself. But that's the difference between the East and the West. In the East, a person's life is part of a whole. Family. Society.

    Uncle Haibin: You want to tell Nai Nai the truth, because you're afraid to take the responsibility for her. Because it's too big of a burden. If you tell her, then you don't have to feel guilty. We're not telling Nai Nai because it's our duty to carry this emotional burden for her.

  • Jian: You're broke again? Are you always going to live like this?

    Billi: Poor but sexy? I hope so!
