The last clip of the film is quite interesting. Facing the prison warden who was caught by the Red Guards and paraded through the streets, Pu Yi stooped and defended him weakly: "Comrade, this must be a misunderstanding! I know this person, he is a good person!" However, the passionate crowd did not give him a chance to speak, and the old man who had gone through the years was severely pushed to the ground. The transformation and gap of identity seems to have run through his life from birth to death. When he returned to the Golden Palace to take out the cricket as an ordinary person, the meaning of symbols and symbols was maximized. In this world, there will not be crickets that have survived for a hundred years, but there will be emperors who have experienced many troubled times. The cricket is more like an imaginary image, which means the loss of growth and the reincarnation of the years. Puyi, who has experienced the vicissitudes of life, is not only releasing crickets, but more of a relief and letting go of the obsessions that bound his life. The grand history may finally be put down, and the narrative has returned to the straightforward description of Puyi as an individual.
