After watching it, I realized that this film actually won the Silver Bear Award at the 1996 Berlin Film Festival. I didn't know it at first.
I think the key person is Frank, the husband of a female teacher. When Sidi and the female teacher went to the kitchen to drink water in their dressing gowns after having a good time, Frank sat at the table and had a drink. I was really taken aback at the time, but the story was eloquent. Frank was quite calm, he said he didn't need to explain. He led Stie into the wider world, Beethoven’s music, woolen socks, Frank outlines a natural and perfect world for Stie, the “natural” and “abnormality” that have been emphasized in his lines are another aspect of the film. Big theme.
The female teacher is empty. She was the object of everyone's pursuit when she was a young girl. She called those suitors empty courtiers, glamorous on the outside but empty on the inside. She breathed new air in Frank, and Frank was also an unacceptable target for her elders. This was also in line with the rebellious psychology of the time, so she chose him. It’s just that he has his own ideals, just like he insists on pure natural wool instead of selling nylon stockings. These may be incomprehensible and worthless things in the eyes of a female teacher. What she wants is love, but she doesn’t appreciate it. The virtue in his husband. The two people gradually diverged in their thoughts, the love disappeared, and then the female teacher was deformed in one aspect. After meeting Sidi, the hesitation and anxiety caused by the desire for love made her destroy her dignity as a teacher, and finally she woke up. Her last shot was still a beautiful and noble teacher, but Sidi made him taste the pain of his dark side. In her, the director wants to show the dark side and fragility of human nature.
Frank's helplessness, the death of his brother, the unbearable pain of his parents, and all the moral idols who were once aloof have become vulnerable in the social turmoil. Sidi slowly learned to be strong and responsible in this change. When he embraced these adults with arms of understanding and comfort, he had suddenly grown into an adult. At the end of the film: In slow motion, Sidi wobbles closer and closer with all the dictionaries. The depressing and heavy gate of the school was permanently closed behind him. Although walking unsteadily, a man is coming towards us, full of courage and strength. He no longer needs school, no more education. He can stand with his own mind. The soft soprano once again entangled the painting room, it was a farewell and memorial to youth.

    The female teacher is the "mother of sexual enlightenment" in the growth of adolescents, and the husband is the "father of spiritual enlightenment" in the transformation of adolescents into men.

    During the rebellious period, I only want to break all rules and overthrow the authority of parents. After growing up, I understand my parents and respect the existing rules. The important thing is not the taboo teacher-student relationship, but Sidi's subsequent resistance to Viona. Although I am obsessed with teacher-student love, I have to say that this is the teacher-student love of Sanguanzheng.
