In Wang Qi's view, although "Leaving Autumn" tells the story of family changes brought about by the immigration wave at the end of the last century, its reflection of human nature is still of practical significance: "The conflict between family and individual is a common problem faced by many young people at present, and I hope that through this film, the audience can harvest some experience and thinking about family life." ”

Some Chinese immigrants have lived in Japan for decades without learning to speak Japanese, but their children are educated in Japan, and we will also present these conflicts in various details in the film. ”

He said that the grandfather he plays can only speak a few simple Japanese, but it does not hinder the communication with his grandson, "There are many such elders in Shanghai, who can't speak foreign languages, but can understand some foreign languages, plus gestures than paintings, and it is not difficult for the grandparents to communicate." Liu Deji revealed that he will also cooperate with the director in the film "The Wind Comes Late", telling the new life of foreigners after returning to Shanghai.
