Journey of the Red Balloon was filmed in memory of Albert Lamorisse, and naturally it was related to Le Ballon Rouge in 1956. Le Ballon Rouge is not only a short film for children, but also a feature film with compassionate human thinking. Of course, albert lamorisse's photography and color mastery are praised by the world. Hou Hsiao-hsien's Journey to the Red Balloon expressed his views on western families in the name of commemorating the Red Balloon, and his films could not be classified as "children's films". The symbolic meaning of Red Balloon in the two films is similar, but slightly different. The balloon in The Red Balloon symbolizes pure friendship and freedom, while the red balloon in Journey symbolizes affection, friendship, freedom and simple life. The film should focus on interpersonal relationships, such as mother and child, daughter and father, neighbors, colleagues, strangers, etc., which are indispensable in both the East and the West. From the film, the interpersonal relationship of the French seems simple and clear, but it also has certain complexity. People's selfishness and self-confidence have played a catalytic role in these relationships, making different relationships develop in different directions. What role do children play in a world dominated by adults? This problem seems to be involved in the film. The child's spiritual world seems to be the content of the film. Therefore, most of Hou Hsiao-hsien's films have such characteristics, and there is always an embarrassing and looming philosophical thinking hidden in his films. In The Wind Cabin, the brothers were tricked into seeing a movie without a screen. They stood in an abandoned building and saw the buildings and streets outside through a huge hole. What kind of movie is it? They broke into a strange river's lake, like an audience who didn't know the follow-up plot, watching the movie called City with chagrin and curiosity. When the relationship ended, the two grandparents stood at the head of the field and looked at the distant mountain. There is a rainy sky above them. The sadness of parting, the pain of lovelorn love, the hardships and helplessness of life are all taken away with the slow rolling dark clouds, leaving green fields, indifferent old people and strong young people.

In Goodbye, South China, Gao Jie and Lin Qiang return to their hometown in Lin Qiang. Two people each ride a motorcycle, walking through winding roads and dense Woods. Their relationship is ambiguous, but what is certain is that they need each other, and in Gao Jie's view, he must be responsible for their friendship. In many cases, they are integrated.
