He never speaks. When he speaks, he will only call his parents ethically. No one taught him. How did he learn it? It seems that the director does not want to explain from the perspective of a child. Maybe this is not a child at all. He is just the embodiment of the distorted "rules" in the traditional mountainous area (the country generally emphasizes "rules"). Put the hypothesis here first.
If so, it can explain why the son who never laughed laughed when he saw Jinshan drown. Because "rules" can eat people. So when Tianqing was struggling before death, Judou kept shouting, and this son was also indifferent, because "rules" have no emotions. But this is ironic, because the rules themselves are based on kinship. But when the rules develop to a certain level, they become a kind of norm, and the ruler of the norm is in the hands of outsiders, and the rules lose their emotions. In addition, both Azure and Jinshan were drowned. It can be seen that the director also deliberately chose this method of death. This method of death is a process of suffocating slowly, as if you were suffocated by the surrounding environment. In addition, it was quite interesting for the son to sit on the coffin during the funeral of Jinshan. Because the average son walks in front of the coffin, this setting in the movie also emphasizes that "rules are above everything else."
The character Ju Dou is younger than Tian Qing, and the "rules" constructed in her mind are not as heavy as Tian Qing. This can be seen from her seducing Tian Qing. So Judou has always offered to take the children away, but Tianqing has always refused. Including that there was a chance to kill Jinshan, Azure also chose to give up. After he died in Jinshan, Tianqing was worried that the child would inherit the family business and did not take the child out, but he also said that "days are getting harder and harder." In fact, he couldn't breathe between his inner desire and the concept that he had established since childhood (it is also an "old rule" for children to inherit the family business). The two men, in turn, set off their son's stubbornness. And stubbornness is also one of the characteristics of "rules". The results of these two people are also predictable.
