This sparked a strong resistance and incomprehension from Li Yan.
She felt that her mother had become selfish and unkind.
Since then, I have a problem with my mother.
Wait until the day you go to close your account.
Li Yan really realized.
The father will disappear from this home completely.
Even his identity no longer exists.

are imperceptibly influencing their daughters.
But with his death, the daughter gradually closed her heart.
No more skiing, and no communication with my mother.
With the awakening of memories of his father.
The daughter has also returned to the positive extroversion that her father used to be,
In a state of sincerity to people.
Secondly, as a person from Xichang, an important aerospace city.
His father, Li Boyu, has a distinct aerospace complex.
He is passionate about aerospace.
However, due to family conditions.
He failed to embark on this path.
But he didn't give up because of that.
Instead, I took this hobby to heart.
The space model occupies a prominent position in the room,
This is also reflected in the details.
All this had a profound impact on his daughter Li Yan.
Before a change in the family.
Li Yan's first choice for university has always been Beihang University.
It shows her interest and talent in astronautics.
From this point of view, space flight is a father's wish.
And the daughter who was influenced by him also took this as a wish.
Continuing her father's wish is Lee Yeon's promise to her father.
Moreover, the father is also committed to his daughter.
He said that he would take Li Yan to his hometown of Xichang to watch the rocket launch.

The daughter thinks that her mother is cold-blooded and ruthless.
It was she who buried the rest of her father's life.
But my mother made such a choice, which was also painful and helpless.
But as a mother, she can't ignore her daughter's life.
You can't stay stuck in the pain of the past.
Reality forced her to "look forward".
In fact, the mother's true feelings for the father have long been foreshadowed.
The acquaintance of the two came from a chance encounter.
The mother was so angry that her father fell in love with her directly.
The two got married within 27 days of knowing each other.
Such a passionate and unhesitating marriage belongs to love.
It has nothing to do with material conditions, family background.
It can even be said that the mother is the one who understands the father best.
She knew that her father, who was lying in bed, would want to be painless and retain his dignity.
That's why extubation is chosen.
And the expressionlessness she showed in the process was not bland.
Rather, it is the most painful manifestation.
The emotional relationship between husband and wife is expressed.
The misunderstanding between mother and daughter was also resolved.
The dog also became an opportunity for the mother and daughter to solve this misunderstanding.
When the Coke was stolen, the mother took the road race at all costs.
Just to chase it back.
Because of "Coke", the daughter began to understand her mother for the first time.
She realized that her mother was not without pain.
Not indifferent to the departure of "family".
All her abandonment was forced.
The theme of parent-child relationships: subtle and complex
"Goodbye, Li Kele" touches on the theme of "parent-child relationship".
It is not uncommon in many previous films.
But its understanding of parent-child issues is significantly more profound.
The parent-child relationship, the relationship between the individual and the family, is very delicate and complex.
It's more complex than we think.
It's definitely not something that can be summed up in simple words like black and white, love or hate.
This film portrays this subtlety and complexity.
Li Yan seems to resent her mother's extubation and gave up her father's life.
Rebellious and un Xi learned, self-defeating, as if taking revenge on his mother.
In fact, the real resentment in her heart is herself.
She resented why she had to wear headphones to listen to music in the first place.

The mother seems to be ruthless and does not miss the old love.

not only didn't let her daughter have a dog, but also beat the mandarin ducks.
forced Li Yan to study hard Xi, and even slapped her.
In fact, she is also one of the most painful characters in the movie.
She lost her husband.
Therefore, she believes that she should take responsibility for taking care of her daughter.
She hopes that her daughter can grow up well.
One day I will be worthy of my husband.
Her husband died in such an accident, and she was the most uncomfortable one.
She can blame her daughter for why she took her father to ski and why she wore headphones.
But she didn't.
Because she knew her daughter was sad enough.
She couldn't make any worse of it.
The silent sacrifice is the wordless father's love
In "Goodbye, Coke Lee".
Father's love has had a profound impact on his daughter, Lee Yeon.
When "Coke" was tormented by illness.
Li Yan faced the same choice as back then.
And in this process, father's love guided and helped her.
made her gradually understand how to face death and parting.
She finally had the courage to write her name.
And wave goodbye to the past.
She also had the courage to go skiing in Altay.
Because in her eyes, it was no longer the place where her father had an accident.
It's a place where she can ski alone and welcome new students.
