Maybe what we want to do is that the one we love is imprisoned by some kind of shackles. We don't have enough courage to break through it. We choose to disguise and choose to go down the river. But once the seeds in our hearts are awakened by that little rain and dew again, will we still choose to hide them just as we did before.

The actor finally has the courage to face his true self in his earshun years. He is a person who doesn't want to hurt others, and fortunately he has a wife who understands him. The ending is good. After driving that car, after passing a street, there will be another boulevard, and then another. There is no right or wrong choice, but the scenery is different. When you reach the end, perhaps you will cry with joy at your unique life.
