The story has many contents: youth and blood, sin and atonement, life and death, family ties and ethics, desires and dreams, compassion and compassionate love, music and art, the collision of Chinese and Western cultures, as well as possible cause and effect and unpredictable destiny - of course the theme is beauty and love. This is a story about flowers blooming in dark soil. In the words of the male protagonist, "Actually, I just want them to believe that there are many beautiful things in this world and how beautiful they are."
Of course, true beauty can only be felt through pain.
