Analysis of "Fish is homesick on a plate":

People are actually not much different from fish, except that fish can only live in water. Only those who face the world calmly have no desires and desires. Only those who eat, dress, work, love, and live calmly can become "fish" who are free and will not be caught.

Those like me who have too many desires and are always divorced from reality and dream about the future. "Fish" are the easiest to be tempted to be caught, and then become the fish on the plate on the dining table. Only when we have no desires and desires, we "fish" will not feel homesick on the plate.
