In the sudden death of a person, "Light of Illusion" focuses on one person, facing the alienation and sadness of the new life. "Most Cannon Fire" is more ambitious, dealing with the family facing the sudden death of the mother, each family character has a different age and mood, and even involves facing the outside world to look at death, and the work may become more difficult. The work is slightly trivial.
There is almost no story advancement. It is very delicate to grind the relationship between father and son, husband and wife, brothers, mother and son. Every relationship is inseparable from the shadow of death. I don’t want to mention the concealment of death, whether it was before the mother’s death. Family estrangement, or family members become insincere after the mother's death, and the work is permeated with a sense of alienation.
Sometimes living under the same roof, they don’t know each other. Yubei’s monologue piles up this emotional peak. You love each other, but you can’t meet the requirements of love in your heart. The more you care, the more you distance yourself. The mother is at the peak of her career, but she can’t meet the need to love her family. I only admire your status, I can only keep honoring and follow my love, thinking that it’s okay to go on, but I can’t continue. I can deceive myself with some joy. Sadness and joy can't be matched. Even if I am sad, I don't want to disturb my loved one because of my personal emotions. Perhaps the mother in the play is drifting away from her family in this way, unconsciously facing parting, and too late to understand each other.
Yu Bei’s monologue is as follows: "They don’t know how much they have changed during this period. You have to learn from them, the name of the new interest, but after a month, they will all be different again. A few days later, you begin to adapt to this role. It’s not a character, you like it very much, they also want you to be with you, they love you, you can feel it, you love them more than other things, but you still feel that you are in the way, hindering their normal work and rest, and you will feel that you are walking The wrong place, it’s not that they don’t want you to be there, but? They don’t really need you.”
