The decline of the nobility in "The Poppy Flower" reminds me of "After the Wind and Rain in the Hometown" I watched during the holidays. Affected by the play at that time, I also felt inexplicably sad and regretted the passing of an era. But "Spontaneity" made me face up to this reality. The decline of the British aristocracy is inevitable in history. No matter how unbearable and reluctant we are, they are products of the times after all. The wheels run over, and the dying struggle will only end in a tragic end. After the First World War, the nobles could still survive. After the Second World War, they had no ability to fight back. The noble heirs died on the battlefield. The ancient mansions were bombed in the war. The survivors survived by selling land, jewelry, oil paintings, etc. the dignity of yesteryear. Fortunately, the country has special agencies and funds to maintain those ancient manors and castles, otherwise the Queen's family would appear more abrupt and lonely in modern Britain.
