Chen Shagao was not a ghost who was suppressed in his heart, but he was desperate to be accepted and understood by this society, so he forced himself to kill Gao.
Here and in front of his ex-wife who said, "Everyone in the world has ghosts, but you don't have one. If it's true, then you have a problem." There is a big connection. Some film critics said that this sentence woke Chen up and asked him to release him. Out of mind. I think this sentence stabbed Chen deeply, so Chen let go of his ex-wife who others couldn't see, that is, his ex-wife's ego. From the front, the ex-wife's ego has always been Chen's spiritual pillar. Chen shouted to his ex-wife's self, "She can't hear or see you!" It's more like saying to himself, "No one else can understand you why you insist on being yourself!". Makes people feel very sad.
Coupled with the fact that the young police officer treated him as a mental illness and no longer trusted him, it also caused a fatal blow to him. Thinking that when the young police officer came to find Chen, Chen's ex-wife's ego tried desperately to dissuade him and said, "You will die!", indicating that Chen knew that he would die. But he was still very happy to go, because he thought that finally someone could understand him.
So this series of blows, as well as the long-term repression and pain of not being accepted, turned Chen's hope of being understood into almost despair. He said, "I am also a human being, why should there be a difference" contains too much resentment. But he still had a little hope that it was the young policeman, because he didn't see the evil spirits of the young policeman, so the young policeman could explain things clearly, so that everyone would know that what he said was really not crazy. But when he turned around and saw the evil ghost of the young policeman, he had such an unbelievable expression, complete despair.
This movie is so wonderful that people deeply feel Chen's incomprehensible pain and desire for normal interpersonal relationships, and it is the public's incomprehension and malice towards dissidents that kills him.
