Snowflake is the poet's self-metaphor, and the whole poem conveys the poet's own happiness. We know that Xu Zhimo's love pursuit was unfair in the environment at that time, whether from the inherent old ethics or from the external public opinion, but he completely ignored it. Influenced by the new foreign thoughts and the May Fourth Movement's thought of individual freedom and liberation, Xu Zhimo believed that "the really great news lies in the noumenon of everything".
In his view, the soul and life of everything in the world are in itself, and everything has no other owner except itself. This poem embodies his personality from the perspective of pursuing love and releases his pure poetic feelings.
