born independently

The evaluation is too high, the expectations are too high, and I am a little disappointed after reading it.
Although I agree with what most of the comments said, the style of this animation is extremely beautiful, and the meaning is quite profound. But it may be the relationship between the plot control, I really feel that the plot is too simple.

The love of parents for their children is a treasure and a shackle.
Sometimes it even comes when the child can't breathe. I can't stand the child's injury, so I would rather turn it into a stone; I can't stand the uneven future of the child, so I force the child to follow their own wishes and prevent them from having their own independent thoughts.
Especially in China, the shackles are covered with the hat of "filial piety", and the two women endure the pain and cannot break free.

I also saw a piece of news before. It was a smart and beautiful girl. Because of the constant oppression of her parents, she finally embarked on the road of suicide, leaving a note: Born as your daughter, it is my greatest sorrow.
After the girl left, both parents couldn't stand the blow and were admitted to the hospital, but relatives couldn't help but complained to the girl, thinking that it was "a great disobedience".
It's all the fault of the children. And some parents' sins can be misinterpreted as "in the name of love".

Born as a human being, each individual is an individual. To be able to do this is the most free and happiest.
