Would the ending have been different if the parents were less demanding?

This movie is relatively niche and more like a family fairy tale. If it weren't for the light, shadow and color in it, I probably wouldn't watch it for my liking. Most of the shooting scenes in the movie are afternoon, dusk, a lot of sunset and backlight, even if it is not sunset, the color is a lot of orange. I really like the pictures inside, the orange-colored fairy tales, backlit, and silky. The film tells the story of a couple who are looking forward to having a child. At first, they hoped to have a child. Although they emphasize that they do not require perfection, they require talent, such as humor, musical talent, playing football, and never giving up. This is what most parents do. Not only expecting him to have his own advantages, hope that his son will become a dragon and his daughter will become a phoenix, but he has also placed his unfulfilled wishes on them. Later, I finally had a child, and I hoped that he could bring pride to himself, satisfy his vanity, and be proud of his relatives and friends. But every life is an independent individual, no matter whether they bring pride or vanity satisfaction, we should love him unconditionally and tolerate him. So when Timothy threw out the leaves in order to satisfy his parents' demands (musical talent, playing football, etc.), he left. He said, "When the other children grow up and move away, and I, lose my leaves, I will leave too." Would the outcome have been different if his parents had demanded less of him? Of course, the parents in the film are fairly enlightened parents who correct as they make mistakes. When Timothy left, he said: "The two people who cherish you the most in the world, they do their best to make up for the mistakes they made, and you can only be with them for a short time, but they love you more than you can imagine. Deeper." Seeing this, I was inexplicably moved and sad. The film is worth watching. Whether it is a photography film or a feature film, although there is no such exaggerated scene that makes people scream and laugh, the small and fresh warmth is inexplicably touching and memorable.
