The story moves around the theme of freedom of choice and its relation with happiness. According to this theme a man can be happy in a true sense if he follows his own ideas and free will. The author establishes this theme with the help of a series of events. Huang is living a life full of contentment until he follows his choice and ideas. His word when he comments on his success saying, "we all did it together, with all our own ideas and hard work," reinforce this theme. However, when on his way to the king's palace he tries to please other people by listening to their comments, he becomes greatly worried and confused. At the end, it is his wise daughter who makes him realize that true happiness lies in following one's own will. His reply to the stranger, "kindly mind your own business and don't trouble with ours." summarizes the whole theme of the story. If you really want to be happy in your life, never let anyone point directions to you. Just follow your own point of view and your own way.
