What is the purpose of Tony Leung's one-man show at the end of "The True Story"?

I don't know if it is the later partner or husband of the heroine (Maggie Cheung)?

In the one-man show, he seems to want to present a lifestyle and personality similar to the hero (Leslie Cheung) whom the heroine fell in love with at the opening~. Such as trimming nails, combing hair, etc., the act of taking care of the appearance carefully. However, the whole picture is set in a room with a low ceiling, and there is a feeling of oppression, as if to convey some kind of necessity or financial embarrassment. I remember a scene in the play, when Carina Lau conveyed that she wanted to give financial support, she was rejected by Leslie Cheung and quarreled about it. Possibly echoing the ambivalence that was attempted in the final picture.

This specially arranged one-man show may also replace the regret that the last two people failed to become lifelong partners.

    There are always people who think they are birds.

    The rain in this city is so long, it seems that all affection has become thin.

Days of Being Wild quotes

  • Su Lizhen: I always thought one minute flies by. But sometimes it really lingers on. Once, a person pointed at his watch and said to me, that because of that minute, he'd always remember me. It was so charming listening to that. But now I look at my watch and tell myself that I have to forget this man starting this very minute.

  • Yuddy: I've heard that there's a kind of bird without legs that can only fly and fly, and sleep in the wind when it is tired. The bird only lands once in its life... that's when it dies.
