Beauty and goodness are in between

The male protagonist is an extreme mental cleanliness, and he suffers from mental diseases. He can make someone hate him in three sentences. But how much he wants to be accepted and respected by people in his heart, he just hasn't found an effective way to get along with the world. This way of being a person and code of conduct will make people feel a little weird, but it has its own self-consistent logic. He would repeatedly lock the door five times before closing it. He uses up a lot of bars of soap to wash his hands. He will try to avoid any physical contact with others. Because of his fear, he minimized any kind of discomfort to him in the world, but fortunately he has his own very rich spiritual world, and can rely on his own ability to live a decent and prosperous life. Until he met this girl, he fell in love. The few words that moved me very much in the film are also widely circulated: this should be the praise for me. do you know? 60% to 70% of my sick people need medication, and I really hate drugs, you know? I used the word aversion to drugs, but since the day you said you wouldn't have anything to do with me. I took medicine that night and wanted to become a better man for you. In fact, I understand that his over-defense is to prevent himself from being hurt. All his sharp statements are, in the final analysis, a form of self-protection. Each of you is hurting him all the time, a squinting look, a slight movement. When someone touches his inner realm excessively, when he really stabs him with excessive words, he throws away his armor and removes his armor. In fact, he is a child who pretends to have invincible armor. When others exposed his disguise, he could only be defeated and fled.

That painter is gay, and I have never felt that gay should be a label of a person. I think everyone's sexual orientation is equal. I am very happy that he was able to face the trauma and shadow he had suffered in his heart, and truly came out of the haze that the past brought him.

The ending is very heartwarming. There are so many imperfections in this life, but we hope that there is still a strength that will give us the courage to be perfect and support us for the rest of our lives.
