Reader’s Question:
I have a question about Tian Guan Ci Fu. I’m currently watching episode 11 of season 2, and I’m curious why Anle reacted by saying something like, “So it was you,” when he saw Xie Lian without his mask. Also, why was the statue of Xie Lian crying?
Let’s Dive
into Tian Guan Ci Fu!
Hey there, fellow fans of Tian Guan Ci Fu! I just had to hop on here to talk about that moment in episode 11 of season 2 where Anle sees Xie Lian without his mask and goes, “So it was you!” It totally caught me off guard! I mean, we all know Anle is tied to the royal lineage of Xianle, so it makes sense that he’d recognize Xie Lian as the legendary Xianle Prince. It’s like a huge “aha!” moment for him, realizing his ancestor is right in front of him! Can you imagine the mix of shock and awe? I would probably just stand there with my mouth hanging open, like, “Wait, you’re my ancestor?!” And then there’s the statue of Xie Lian crying—wow, that one hit me right in the feels. It really shows how deeply the people of Xianle felt about their fallen prince. They put so much faith in him, only to see their country fall apart. That statue isn’t just a representation; it’s a cathartic release of all that pent-up anger and sorrow. I mean, can you picture someone using the statue as a footrest like Qi Rong did? It’s kind of darkly humorous in a way, yet it really underscores the pain of the people. Honestly, the emotional weight of this series is something else. I remember binge-watching the first season with a mountain of snacks beside me, laughing and then suddenly tearing up over these intense moments. I think the blend of humor and heartbreak is what keeps drawing me back to it. I’d love to hear about your thoughts!
