After reading it, I searched the English dictionary for an accurate explanation of vanity. It looks like this: something (such as a belief or a way of behaving) which shows that you have too much pride in yourself, your social status, etc.

Once, when I was studying Buddhism, I asked the teacher: Since everything is empty, why do you have to work hard? The teacher said that because everything is empty, we should work hard, because emptiness has room for us to change. After watching this video, I thought of this again. Beca, a girl from the bottom of the society at that time, beautiful, wise, smart, ambitious, goal-oriented, with a strong heart, knows her own needs, the most important thing is, I also saw the love in her heart in the film, to her her husband, her friend.


I thought of Zhen Huan's biography again. Although there are many differences, I think she and Zhen Huan both have goals, know what they want, and have people they love.

Each of us desires fame and fortune, however, we occasionally lack awe, forget our goals, and forget to go with the flow. I think this movie taught us a lesson.
