From the beginning of the film, we all started to pull the train by horse. It is a historical fact that we built a railway of our own - Tangxu Railway in 1881. This railway was not pulled by locomotives, but by horses, so horse drawn trains came into being.
In this play, I feel that it should be ironic to the society at that time, to worship foreign things and to imitate westerners. Although it is also a train, it runs with a horse. If the horse pulling in front is lost, can the train run? This was also in line with the current social situation at that time. The rich were based on brainless labor.
At the end of the overall situation, Pockmarked Zhang asked Huang Silang, "Do you think money is important to me or you are important to me?" Here Huang Silang can be compared to "power". It is not difficult to understand what is important to me about power and money.
