After reading a few movie reviews, there are a few bits and pieces that I have my own opinions, and it's a bit messy to write casually.
1. About poison
The poison should be in the small bottle at the back. It is inferred that Mingxia ate the so-called yellow poison at first, which was completely fine. Later, she swallowed the medicine bottle and vomited.
Of course, she didn't die in the end, because Ruoxian was still reluctant to let Shu Yun die, or if she didn't love herself enough, it would be meaningless to die with her.
How to say it is a bit contradictory, but it is also mentioned that Ruoxian is a complicated person. I think this contradiction is a small part of it.
Seducing Shuyun was a poison at first, it depends on whether she dares to take it, or if she wants an antidote. In the end, whether Shuyun will eat the antidote, or will he be willing to wait for the previous pill to be poisoned. The overall process seems to be a test, to test how much I have in Shuyun's heart, but it's not actually asking Shuyun to die with me.
Later, Mingxia took the so-called antidote and did not vomit. It was a kind of punishment. You don't want to die with me, I'm sad, but I don't want you to die either, vomit as punishment.
Including hiding all kinds of things under the piano later, can Shuyun find it by herself? If you are very attentive to yourself, you will discover the secrets under the piano.
Ruoxian is a very tangled person.

2. Ruoxian's possessiveness is too strong, and Shuyun is too fragile. Two people's shortcomings in each other will bring crisis to the relationship.
Any sense of security can only be given by oneself, not obtained from the other party, no matter what form of feeling it is.
Then this film was made in 1999. At that time, the degree of disapproval of homosexuality was even greater, and I relatively understood the gossip of the public in the film and the weakness of the book rhyme.
"Growing up is not just about weight and height, right?" Ruoxian is precocious, and her thinking must be ahead of her peers. Such her is not only incompatible, but also detrimental to the relationship between the two of them.
In addition, for the matter between him and the male teacher, can sex and affection be separated for her? This is not very understandable, not too understanding of their feelings.
But no matter how weak the rhyme is, this is also a blow to the rhyme. Because the weak rhyme will definitely forgive Ruoxian at the moment.

3. In the beginning, Ruoxian fell in love with Shuyun at first sight. From the very beginning, it was Ruoxian. I dare not say the feelings of giving, but I would like to say that Ruoxian's feelings are stronger than Shuyun.

---The above is my personal opinion.
I don't like the paranoid Ruoxian, nor the weak and blindly obedient book rhyme. Mingxia likes it very cute and real.
In fact, I always feel that feelings are the best thing to be plain. It is recognized by the world and recognized by lovers, but love is short-lived, and recognition to the world may not necessarily come to the end. The habits established by each other, the family affection transformed into, and the inseparable intimacy are true. All this is the most true in the bland.
Impress yourself or impress others, it's just impressing.
