1. Politics is disappointing, completely disappointing, but someone still has to do it. Need to maintain faith.
2. In addition to life, people can also choose to die.
3. The dialogue between BOBBY and the priest is my favorite. Everyone wants to convince others, but also wants to convince themselves. It seems meaningless, but it is the whole meaning. This process constitutes life.
4. Choosing to die is sometimes not because of despair, but of expectation.
5. The attention to detail is similar to Han Dong's novels. The trivial truth can actually be shocking.
