The film has a clear intention, showing the contradictions and conflicts between outlook on life, values ​​and love. The first is class contradiction. The upper-class people and the lower-class civilians coexist in the world, seemingly developing harmoniously, but each form a living circle. There is an irreconcilable difference in the relationship between them. This concept has been formed since the slave society, and with the development of society, it has also developed more firmly. Of course, individual people despise it, and they cannot change it. They have to express their views through art forms such as literature, drama, and film. This is the main reason why the people in the film oppose the marriage of Kaley and Ron. The second is ethical contradiction. It is unethical for the world to see older ladies falling in love with younger men. This law exists more or less whether in China or in other countries. Of course, it is not sharper and stronger than the previous contradiction. People can give more tolerance, but they will still have strange eyes unconsciously.

How did the creator arrange for two different classes of characters to have such a strong love? This is where I am interested.

First, the director sets up the relationship between the two. The relationship between master and servant cannot be better if two people are of different classes and they can talk face-to-face. Ron is the son of Kaley's late gardener, and he inherited his father's righteousness (this also laid the foundation for a later rumor that Kaley had an ambiguous relationship with Ron before her husband died). Then, the creator used four settings as the reason for the two to fall in love. In order of appearance, the first is the leaves. At this moment, the two had just met, and Ka Lei put the leaves cut by Ron in the vase, and the clever audience should have been aware of the story behind. The second is Ron's dilapidated old house. The third is a broken ceramic. Ka Lei showed his love for them. Afterwards, Ron cleaned the old house and repaired the ceramics, thereby expressing his love for Ka Lei. The fourth is Ron's outlook on life. Ka Lei showed recognition and appreciation for Ron's outlook on life, which was one of the reasons Ka Lei could fall in love with Ron.

Now it seems that these settings are so ordinary and simple, but they are taken for granted. If you leave it to you to create, how should you set it up? Do you want to conceive a scene where a hero saves the beauty or is lonely and unbearably seduced?
