The film depicts the prosperity of the city from the beginning, with many economic products under the industrial system, such as cruise ships, automobiles and bustling streets. The city girl came to the countryside, was dressing up in front of the mirror, and was about to visit the farm boy. The city and the farm are a strong binary opposition, and this form of expression at that time also symbolized that the industry would also begin to invade the simple countryside. The city girl proposes that the rural boy kill his wife and sell the farm to the city. This also shows the trend that the city begins to invade the countryside and assimilate the people from the countryside to go to industry together, and also symbolizes the first shot of steam gear and nature.

But human nature is unpredictable. In the face of temptation, the rural boy resisted the temptation because of his simple values ​​and moral norms, and learned to cherish the beauty of the things in front of him, otherwise he would regret it when he lost it, and he resisted the temptation again and From a boy to a responsible man, only a good man is qualified to let a woman return to the identity of a girl, a partner who can be taken care of and can snuggle.

In fact, the director gave a good metaphor, asking us to cherish the existing natural scenery and not give up the natural scenery because of the convenience of the industrialization of steam gears. Nature is a gift from God, it is as important as a wife, and if you lose it, you will regret it and will not be able to return it. Sunrise, new beginning, new hope.
