A symbol I found throughout the film was the bowl. Zaho Di had the same two bowls throughout the movie, which they meant a lot to her. She was using the bowls to see if Luo Changyu would take the food and bowls with him. The bowl symbolized a circle that never ended just how Di and Luo's relationship was. They saw each other, Luo left, he came back, left again, came back, ended up leaving for two years, and eventually they stayed together for many years after that. Another is the broken pieces of the bowl meant no matter what has all happened, they ended up together because the pieces came back together.
You do an excellent job explicating the metaphor of the bowl. Well done. Mimi
