"The child thought for a moment:" I will tell the people sitting on the plane to fasten their seat belts first, and then I will hang up my parachute and jump out. " While the audience was laughing, linklater continued to observe the child to see if he was a self-righteous guy. Unexpectedly, then two lines of tears welled up in the child's heart, which made linklater realize that the child's sympathy was far beyond words. So linklater asked him, why did you do this? "The child's answer revealed his sincere thoughts:" I'm going to get the fuel, and I want to come back! ! ! "
