Dieyi's story in Farewell my Concubine affected me deeply. I don't know how to explain it well. He was shaped into what he is by his art, all his experiences, pain and happiness and fame is inside that. Could he live a simple life without opera? It might be possible for someone else but not him. The pain, trauma, friendship, love and the fame is inseperable for him. He will stay the same for eternity.
You can't seperate your life into little boxes of phases and limited short lived experiences. It is a whole, and it shapes your soul.
