Mr. Dong said, "When encountering a collision during Chinese and Western festivals, we cannot complain. We must learn to make way for love and turn the corner for love."
In the interview, there were many "avant-garde" people like Mr. who "turned the corner" for love, and they, who "separated the two places," adhered to the respect for love and family by "following the path".
