THE ending of The Cheese Trap is open, which can BE understood as he or be. Bai Renhe, the hero of the play, finally broke down because of a series of things, and Bai Zonghuan, the hero, finally lost his mind because of Bai Renhe's things and some things with Hong Xue, the second female, and finally ended in a crazy state. Although Bai Zonghuan likes Hong Xue in the play, he didn't get together because of his family reasons and Bai Renhe's affairs.
