Hu Ge talked about self-healing during the filming process, and also thanked the crew for accompanying him on the journey of "Worthwhile Trip", "During the performance process, the biggest obstacle is being too rational. When I really fell in love with Wenshan I’m willing to give myself to him when I’m there.”
