Life and death are each other's mirrors. In Liu's view, aiming at death is to "stand at the end of death and return to life how to live". Taking death as a mirror can untie the knot that the living can't untie.
"Funeral comedy" is a prominent label of "life events".
Although it happened in a funeral shop, Liu deliberately proposed a "strong contrast" approach. Throughout the film, the funeral shop is next to the wedding dress shop. Funeral shops are black and white, but the stories and characters are colorful and lifelike. In Liu's view, he wants to implant a topic of "maybe everyone doesn't talk much" in a way closer to the audience.
"There are two things in life that are most disgraceful, one is birth, and the other is death." Liu concluded. At these two moments, people lost all their autonomy and relied entirely on the help of others. Therefore, "the doctor who delivered your baby is as great as the funeral worker who sent you away."
