After watching this drama, I chatted with my friends for an hour, mainly discussing a few questions, I figured out some things in the process of self-questioning, and recorded it.

?1⃣️ What made the heroine persevere?

In my opinion, the reason for her perseverance is that she really wants to say goodbye to her former self, to say goodbye to her drug addict, promiscuous, cheating self, although at the beginning of the trek, she may not be able to adapt to the trek at any time. Every time she looked back, she wanted to give up, but every time she looked back, maybe she saw her past self, and in the end, she did not return. The letter from the station ahead, and the ALICE friends she met during the trek who responded and helped her, she gradually no longer had the idea of ​​giving up, and moved forward all the way.

?2⃣️In the middle of the movie, the heroine is thinking and growing, and some plot designs are like metaphors of life. Is the inner growth reflected in the external experience or does the external experience affect the inner growth?

If it is the latter, the whole film will be very far-fetched and cannot be brought in by the audience, so it can only be an inner growth. After thinking clearly and understanding some things in your heart, you will see new insights after you experience external things. .

?3⃣️Why do people experience spiritual growth after a 1,000-kilometer walk alone, want to understand, and want to change?

I think the key to this problem lies in the environment and conditions of long-distance hiking alone, because only in this way can people continue to talk to themselves, think, ask questions, and summarize. Except for eating and sleeping, they spend the rest of their time walking and interacting with the outside world. It exists almost only in designated post stations. Compared with the daily living environment, people are always disturbed by various trivial things, unable to continue to recall for a long time and face the pain of those experiences in life, without enough thinking, there is no result of thinking.

Therefore, in the process of human beings, they figured it out and understood, not because of what they experienced, but because they have enough self-thinking. The same is true if your trip to Yunnan or Tibet does not bring spiritual purification and growth.
