room out of the way

Bi Gan was dug out of his heart. He met a woman selling water spinach outside and asked her, "If the vegetables have no heart to live, what about the person?" The woman said, "If a person has no heart, he will die!" So Bi Gan died.

Because the protagonist refuses to accept the possibility that his daughter will die when he is treating his daughter, he strongly denies the theory of where he will return after death and ghosts in front of his daughter. If the daughter believed, would she not exist at all when she died? He is unwilling to accept this, let alone that he has personally broken his last hope. So he kept going to the haunted place because he wanted to see his dead daughter.

It may also be that he has the heart to die. ———————————————————————— At first I thought it was the protagonist’s change in temperament because he couldn’t accept the pain of the bereavement of his daughter. He searched for a haunted house to obtain sensory stimulation, but unexpectedly encountered it. true horror. It's actually a constant struggle with the mentality of wanting suicide to go along with it. Presented in the form of fantasy. His fears are also real, the innate awe of people trying to cross the line between life and death.

He passed through a gate of hell once and thought he had come out of it: he could communicate and live normally with his ex-wife, and he also visited his old father in the nursing home, as if he could return to a normal life. But the disguised normality is finally broken, and the repressed normality is revealed as the burnt and dilapidated ruins of the soul. His spiritual wounds have never healed, and he cannot be freed. So I shouted in despair, "I'm out, I'm out".

Then I experienced the pain that my daughter died in her arms and turned into ashes that could not be saved. (At the time, I felt that the room was really unbelievable - using the little girl's phantom reenactment to deceive, seduce, and hurt an old father who was thinking about his daughter. Because it felt that the little girl's ghost was not in the room, and I didn't see it in the final ending. To the little girl's ghost form and only voice) At this time, the ruined room, there are some gaps around, revealing the golden light outside. My understanding at the time was that he was trapped in his own destroyed self and could see the reality of the outside world. Untouchable, it seems to look beautiful.

Until the last phone call, the male protagonist was exhausted and asked, "Why don't you just kill me" and still feel the same way. It's like asking God why he let me go through this pain and why didn't he just kill me.

In the middle, he once thought it was an illusion caused by his inability to accept reality. In fact, there is an unhealable spiritual wound behind it. Why do you lose your daughter Why don't you say something to comfort her when she is dying Why is there nothing when a person dies?

#One of the pains of hopelessness is that the soul never comes to dream after death. I really want to see you, my most important person.

The final outcome. No matter what, people always need emotional sustenance, don't they?
