 Symbolika1:

(For now on my side, A. Answer if some unaswered about Xiao Yao and Rejuvanation Hall B.I'll be going to the first step=> assembling all in one posts on ch. 1 before answering to have the whole pic...)

=> Question Do I add the Rejuvanation Hall to the begining of ch.1? Or it stayes a part?

We'll see this together, can add later :) Going to point B...

@Winny: Chapter 1 – Life is Short Like a Temporary Stay:

It starts with with our female lead in man form Wen Xiao Liu (Little Six)

-"The town doctor Wen Xiao Liu (Xiao Liu means Little Six) had a bowl of lamb stew in one hand and a biscuit in the other and was squatting on the backyard stoop noisily eating. Past the steps were two pastures planted with medicinal herbs, and in between was a little pathway that led to a small river. The sun was just rising and casting a golden glow on the river surface. The flowers were blooming on either side of the river banks and the birds were flying and landing, lending it a very poetic view. Xiao Liu admired the view while thinking the swans must be very plump and would be tasty to catch a few and roast them."
...skipping a little ...
-"Wen Xiao Liu complained as he washed the dishes “This dish will get dirty at the next meal despite getting cleaned now. Why wash after every meal? If one eats out of one’s own bowl, it’s not dirty, so one can wash every few days.”

-"Wen Xiao Liu never made his bed in the morning. If he folded his blankets he would just have to mess it up that night so why would he make more work for himself. Who’s that stupid? He could get away with never making his bed, but he had to wash the dirty dishes otherwise Lao Mu would have smacked him already."

=> By looking at all those description about Wen Xiao Liu.  He's a a lazy or rather untidy, happy go lucky town doctor ...and his business was a decent like said..

-"Hui Chun Clinic may not be a large clinic but Wen Xiao Liu was especially skilled at treating infertility, with ten ladies coming to seek help and he could cure perhaps six or seven of them so the business of the clinic was pretty decent."

So Xiao Liu is able to treating infertility and his business was decent . I have a feeling this treating infertility to fertility is giving ot new births and making lives. 

She mentioned harmony happy married life with kids. (something she's wanting)

The first scene with Wen Xiao Liu giving birth to babies bunnies are cutest.  

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                                           Xiao Liu and the Rejuvanation Hall- Full exploration:

=> Xiao Liu's profession and The Underlying Theme of Creating Life in Wen Xiao Liu's Expertise in Fertility Treatments: 

Wen Xiao Liu's proficiency in fertility treatments serves as a thematic anchor in the narrative, providing a multifaceted layer to her re initiate- character. The focal point on infertility and the subsequent ability to overcome it not only establishes Hui Chun Clinic as a reputable establishment but also positions Xiao Liu as a facilitator of the life-creating process.

Xiao Liu as a Facilitator of Life: In the town doctor's role, Xiao Liu assumes a unique position—one that allows her to guide and support couples in their journey to create life. The theme of fertility treatments echoes broader cultural and societal associations with procreation, growth, and family continuity. Xiao Liu's expertise goes beyond the clinical; it is intertwined with the very essence of life itself.

=>Connections to Xiao Liu's Childhood:

Xiao Liu's Mother's Promise: The narrative hints at a deeper connection between Xiao Liu's chosen profession and her personal history. Xiao Liu's fear of abandonment is rooted in her mother's promise to return from war, a promise left unfulfilled. This unresolved aspect of her childhood becomes a significant emotional backdrop, shaping Xiao Liu's perspective on separation and loss.

Xiao Liu's Personal Healing Through Fertility: It is very much conceivable that Xiao Liu's dedication to fertility treatments is not only a professional choice but also a personal one—a way for her to navigate the complexities of her own past. The act of helping others create families could be a form of catharsis, a means of healing the wounds left by her mother's absence.

Reconciliation with Loss: Xiao Liu's expertise in fertility treatments might be a form of reconciliation with the loss she experienced. By actively participating in the creation of new life, she could be seeking a sense of control over the narrative of separation and abandonment that marked her childhood.

=>Fear of Abandonment and the Pursuit of Continuity:

Xiao Liu's Emotional Complexities: The fear of abandonment, stemming from her mother's unfulfilled promise, adds emotional depth to Xiao Liu's character. Her pursuit of creating life through fertility treatments could be seen as a response to this fear, a way of counteracting the sense of loss and creating a narrative of continuity.

=> !!!!!Fertility as a Symbol of Hope:!!! :

In Xiao Liu's world, where families are formed and expanded through her interventions, fertility becomes a symbol of hope, resilience, and the possibility of rebuilding what was once lost. The creation of life stands as a powerful antidote to the specter of abandonment that haunts Xiao Liu.

I see Wen Xiao Liu's expertise in fertility treatments as a poignant element in the narrative, interwoven with her personal history and the unresolved trauma of her mother's absence. The pursuit of creating life becomes a nuanced exploration of healing, continuity, and the delicate balance between personal and professional motivations in the face of profound loss.So:

                                               THE HOPE THE RESILIENCE THE REBUILDING

1. Hope for New Beginnings: Fertility treatments, under Xiao Liu's skilled hands, represent the promise of new beginnings. Couples grappling with infertility often confront the profound desire for a family, and Xiao Liu's ability to guide them through this journey embodies the hope for a fresh start. In a world shadowed by past losses, the prospect of creating life anew becomes a powerful source of optimism.

2. Resilience in the Face of Adversity: Infertility can be a deeply challenging and emotional experience for couples. Xiao Liu's expertise in overcoming these challenges portrays fertility as a symbol of resilience. It signifies the human capacity to endure, adapt, and overcome obstacles on the path to creating life. The clinic, under Xiao Liu's guidance, becomes a sanctuary of strength where resilience triumphs over adversity.

3. Rebuilding What Was Lost: The act of facilitating the creation of families through fertility treatments is, in essence, a process of rebuilding what was once lost. Xiao Liu, driven by her personal history of abandonment, invests not only in the physical act of conceiving but also in the emotional and psychological restoration of families. Fertility becomes a vessel through which broken narratives can be rewoven, offering the possibility of wholeness and continuity.

4. Antidote to the Specter of Abandonment: In Xiao Liu's world, where the specter of abandonment looms large, fertility stands as a potent antidote. The creation of life becomes a defiant response to the haunting echoes of separation. It is a tangible manifestation of Xiao Liu's determination to counteract the lingering shadows of her own past by actively participating in the formation of new familial bonds. 

5. Symbol of Healing and Empowerment: Fertility, within the context of Xiao Liu's expertise, transforms into a symbol of healing and empowerment. The process of conceiving and bringing forth life represents a journey of emotional and physical restoration for both individuals and couples. Xiao Liu's role as a healer goes beyond the clinical, extending into the realm of emotional support and empowerment for those who seek her guidance.

In summary, fertility in Xiao Liu's world transcends its biological implications to become a rich symbol of hope, resilience, rebuilding, and empowerment. It serves as a transformative force, offering solace and strength to those navigating the intricate tapestry of life itself and all families, including her, in the face of past losses and the fear of abandonment. She ROCKS!!!!OMG she rocks! <3

 1. Heartly helping families with her untouched inner sens of hope-resilience-renewal. 2. Protection (we 'll go through it too while covering ch.1:Poison learning for that point as a protective tool)- 

Both points are full signs of her empowerment. Kuddos!<3

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------(ch.                           Ch1 continue/Drama ep.2 - Xiao Liu found a cripple begger.

She saw the beggar holding up the flower instead of the biscuit. The drama show that she remember how she have been caged once. And was longing for a red flower too.

                          * Notice: They are BOTH trying to reach alike flower *

=>General symbolism of a red flower: Love and Passion /Hope and Longing /Symbol of Fate or Destiny. The symbolism might be explained or hinted at in later episodes or through character development and their interwinted path. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

=> ON HOLD BUTTON about Xiao Yao caged by a Nine Tail fox after her family separation: (back to past to explain the symbol):

The naive Xiaoyao on the run, and lost cross path with a nine tailed fox.She thought that the fox was kind, because when she forgot her real face due to frequent shape changes, the fox gave her a mirror. This mirror can keep any picture, so that Xiaoyao can take a picture before changing, so as to record her original appearance, so as not to lose herself. However, before Xiaoyao had time to thank her, she was tricked into the prison by the fox, who turned out to be her mother's enemy! .When he learned of Xiaoyao's existence, he was not in a hurry to kill her, but tortured her with various unknown drugs, weakened her strength.Ordinary people might compromise in this situation, but Xiaoyao didn't :).she resolutely used the poison she had developed for many years and successfully avenged her, and the fox never woke up again. 

Back in time and to the topic:  -Notice that at that time she don't know the beggar identity. 

* More forward in time, when she will, she will never make the mistake to put all foxes in the same box...Xiao Yao is aware enough to not tar everyone with the same brush.  

She knows the difference between evil and good, and will not deny all possible goodness because of one unfortunate experience. 

* As so, despite the difficult history with the nine-tailed fox who harmed her in the past:  

Xiao Yao's ability to move beyond her past and not look at Tushan Jing with reluctance , finally shows her positive/trustworthy and (later) loving emotions  toward him. 

=> She will never generalize the idea that all those of the same kind are the same :). Wich of course would be inacurate and meaningless.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------=> BUTTON ON:

 Xiao Liu took a stroll around the river and hummed his tune. As he walked back along the little path, he stopped next to the beggar and stepped on that biscuit beside him. Xiao Liu knelt down “I stepped on your biscuit, what can I do to make it up to you?”

The beggar did not respond and Xiao Liu looked up at the sky, the crescent moon hung cold and low by the edge of the horizon as if the Heavens were smiling with a mocking grin at the mortals below.

of course in these passages ....we can get further insight  about Wen Xiao Liu not wanting to be burden to the one she was going to help by exchanging it by stepping on his biscuits .

And heaven mocking mortals.. sometimes things are out of mortals reach and had to follow how heaven's planned for the individual . All in all sometimes we could be out of our control to lives and live under the fate. But it is not all negative here. Because heaven is smiling. There's mention of crescent moon. Sometimes I feel like it is heaven testing on mortals . 

-Jings description:

"Xiao Liu walked over and took a good look. The man’s entire face was battered and bruised so badly it was swollen like a pig’s head. His features were completely indistinguishable. On a reed thin body, paired with a giant head, it was freakishly scary."

"Xiao Liu pushed aside his clothes, or more like scraps of cloth, and the man’s entire body was criss-crossed with scars and wounds of all types – whips, knives, burns, and there was a completely charred path right on his chest that came from a brand. Because he didn’t have any excess muscle, his bones protruded clearly and the burned skin hung on his rib cage."

-"Xiao Liu was gentle as can be and fully concentrated on tending the wounds. But no matter the care taken, there were a multitude of wounds, some with rotted flesh that needed to be cut away, others with dead skin that needed to be snipped, and his broken leg needed to be set.

"Because of the pain, Xiao Liu could feel the man shaking but his eyes remained closed and he tightly bit his lips quietly enduring. He battered body was naked and everywhere was the signs of torture meant to degrade and shame him. Yet his behavior remained lofty and composed."

Xiao Liu realized he probably reacted this way to the torture as well, the person being shamed having more dignity than the person shaming. The person torturing him would have been filled with even more rage and therefore increased the torture.

 Xiao Liu could see underneath his filthy body was a man of diginity. I think her respect started here. After he recovered , Ma Zi and Chuan Zi were awe. 

"This was the first time either of them clearly look at him. He had long black eyebrows, sparkling eyes, a high straight nose, his simple cheap wool clothes was worn with elegance and sophistication. In a second both Ma Zi and Chuan Zi felt so unworthy and also in awe."

-Despite eating the same dry grass, his movements were refined and gave off the impression that he wasn’t eating dry grass but the fruit of the Gods from the mountains.

-Ma Zi reaction ...he's already assuming Jing was above them.

-Ma Zi consoled him “Brother Liu, some people were born on top of the clouds, others are no better than dirt. There is nothing to compare. Let’s be accepting and live our dirt life as best as can be.”

(First time appearence without bandages and out of the clinic:  the sun lights cover his silhouette.):

HER FACE WHEN SHE SEE HIM without bandage :D!!!!!!!

No matter whether Jing is cripple , body full of scars, and wearing cheap clothes . He is sophisticated, enduring and has dignity. Xiao Liu admired him for it ...and so were others. Ma Zi and Chaung Zi and Lao Mu already consider him above them. -All in all , my take on Jing is that, he represents value of person is not depending on the appearance and wealthy clothing ... even in   old cheap clothing, Jing is still sophisticated ..♡

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

@ Peng Peng : I want to share  the 2  points that for me set  some kind of begining of XY's  little affection towards the Beggar:

Scene A -"Ma Zi opened a jar and a light delicate scent wafted out. Xiao Liu reached in and scooped out a golden ointment with his hands and started applying it on the man, starting with his face,The cold ointment alleviated some of the pain and the man's pursed lips softened slightly.

 - Xiao Liu saw the blood staining his lips and appliedsome ointment there as well. The man
quickly tried to shut his mouth and took Xiao Liu's finger into his lips. It was the only time tonight Xiao Liu felt anything soft from his body.

Xiao Liu was momentarily stunned but the man already opened his lips
and Xiao Liu pulled back his finger.He gently lifted his arm and started applying medicine. "

Scene B- "But then he saw the man's matted hair and he furrowed his brow before
calling for Chuan Zi "Cloth, hot water basin, pail." Xiao Liu sat down on the edge of the pallet , put his legs inside apail, lifted up the man's dirty head and placed it on his knees to wash his

 hair.
Chuan Zi sheepishly offered "Brother Liu, tomorrow you have to see patients, go get some sleep and I can do this.'W Xiao Liu scoffed :"With your clumsy hands, I'm afraid you'll undo my hours of hard work tending his wounds.You can just change the water." 

Xiao Liu's hand movements were gentle ,even more than usual, getting some suds from the soap and 1ittle by little washing the man's hair. After thoroughly shampooing it, he ladled warm water over the hair to rinse away the blood and dirt. He used a scissors to snip away the ruined patches.

After washing his hair, Xiao Liu's hands moved across his scalp and he lowered his hair to check. He could feel the man tense up and Xiao Liu -explained "I want to check if you have any head injuries.' The irony was that the torturers wanted him lucid to feel every bit of the pain so they didn't harm his head Xiao Liu didn't want to use any pressure so he used up many clothes gently drying his hair.  He worried air brush would hurt him so he used his fingers like a thick soft hair brush to detangle the strands. After arranging his hair, he had Chuan Zi get a clean pillow before laying his head on the pillow.

The sun was already rising when Xiao Liu stepped outside that room. He washed his face with cold water and ate his breakfast while ordering Ma Zi" 

There is nothing sexual about that bold part b. I love that XY is stunned . This is not the reaction of a doctor  at all.  Also it kind of set the tone  for this mysterious beggar. Under all this disgusting bruises person there is softness.

This is the 1rst time XY is washing his hair. Has she ever washed the hair of someone else before?  If no them again this is the 1st person she does this to. She is extremly gentle not to hurt him. When Chiang Zi offered  to do this task, she refuse, she send him off. This is the begining   of XY tlc for this man's hair. Lol.....__________________________________________________________________

chapter 1( continue) 

Lao Mu was rolling dough and said “I heard about that man’s injuries from Ma Zi.”

Xiao Liu drank his soup “Uhm hmmm.”

“Ma Zi, Chuan Zi – neither can see it, but you must be able to tell. He is from one of the God tribes , and he is definitely not one of the lowlier types of Gods like us. Xiao Liu drank his soup and didn’t respond.

-“Killing someone is just cutting off a head. These kind of injuries has a big reason behind it. Saving someone who shouldn’t be saved is like bringing death to the door.”

Xiao Liu chewed and said “Clean up that duck and put a bit of salt on it and nothing else, then roast it over a small fire.” Lao Mu glanced over and saw that Xiao Liu didn’t care so he sighed and said “Understood.”

With Jing's conditions and torture , Lao Mu was warning Xiao Liu about the danger it might bring ..saving Jing against some highly god wish. But Xiao Liu was already determine. Of course, her helping Jing is because of her sympathy because she was once tortured too. Beside her job is healer to infertility, the job to give life, therefore she already had this nuturing heart.

**** Some more XiaoJing scenes that gives me goosbump...

- Xiao Liu wanted him to relax and joked “You are a man, how can you be afraid of a guy taking your pants off?” After the pants came off, Xiao Liu fell silent.

Im actually ...being beet red here...XD -But she can light up the mood...

- After another half hour, the man’s entire body was covered in ointment and wrapped in gauze.

-Wen Xiao Liu covered him with a clean blanket and softly said “I will need to check on your wounds often these next few days so I won’t give you any clothes. Don’t worry, we don’t have any females in this household. Even if you flash someone, no one will make you marry her.”

I find it light mood...joke..but Im giggling for some reason.

The cold ointment alleviated some of the pain and the man’s pursed lips softened slightly. Xiao Liu saw the blood staining his lips and applied some ointment there as well. The man quickly tried to shut his mouth and took Xiao Liu’s finger into his lips. It was the only time tonight Xiao Liu felt anything soft from his body.

There was not anything just like peng-peng said....but i still feel something ..her finger touching his lip- and ohh i liked her washing his hair...

-Xiao Liu scoffed “With your clumsy hands, I’m afraid you’ll undo my hours of hard work tending his wounds. You can just change the water.” Xiao Liu’s hand movements were gentle even more than usual, getting some suds from the soap and little by little washing the man’s hair. After thoroughly shampooing it, he ladled warm water over the hair to rinse away the blood and dirt. He used a scissors to snip away the ruined patches.

.....Xiao Liu didn’t want to use any pressure so he used up many clothes gently drying his hair. He worried the hair brush would hurt him so he used his fingers like a thick soft hair brush to detangle the strands

I love how she was extra gentle with him.  I find it sweet.- and of course ...we have lengendary bathing scene: 

-" The man closed his eyes and said nothing. During this entire time he was like that. Every time Xiao Liu touched his body, he shut his eyes and pursed his lips. Xiao Liu understood. After enduring so much torture, his body despised any type of touch and each time he had to endure it.

Xiao Liu put the cloth next to him and said “You wash yourself. Your hair isn’t fully grown back yet so don’t scrub so hard.”

Xiao Liu sat to the side and munched on a snack and kept him company.

Perhaps because each scar on his body was a type of shame, the man always kept his head raised and eyes closed as to not look at his own body. He took the cloth and started washing himself. From the neck down to the chest down to the stomach and finally lower towards his legs.

Xiao Liu’s eyes followed his hand when suddenly he turned to the side and munched loudly on the duck neck, making crunch crunch sounds.

The man’s eyes opened and he looked towards Xiao Liu. The sunlight shone through the window and bathed Xiao Liu in light. His cheeks were red and it was illuminated by the sunlight like a piece of beautiful jade with red spots on it.

and all in all ...ye shi qi give himself completely to Xiao Liu. a woman in man's body. 

Because he would not be cured if its not for Xiao Yao..and he would not let anyone heal him apart from her.

Ma Zi secretly gave Shi Qi some of his secreted away savings “Our little Hui Chun Clinic…..heh heh…..you can tell Brother Liu’s medical skills isn’t all that…..heh heh…….have you heard of the Flame Emperor’s Sheng Nong Clan? If you go to the other end of town, there is the Bao Cao clinic run by a doctor who is a many generation descendant of the Sheng Nong clan. His skills are very impressive and perhaps can heal your leg.” Shi Qi silently handed the money back to Ma Zi.

Ma Zi got impatient “Don’t! You can repay me slowly but your leg is a big deal. You can pay me interest if you want then.”

Shi Qi kept his head lowered and said “This. Is good.”

“What’s good about it? Do you want to be a cripple for the rest of your life?”

“He. Doesn’t care.”

More? :D -Chapter1:

The man closed his eyes and said nothing. During this entire time he was like that. Every time Xiao Liu touched his body, he shut his eyes and pursed his lips. Xiao Liu understood. After enduring so much torture, his body despised any type of touch and each time he had to endure it.

Xiao Liu put the cloth next to him and said “You wash yourself. Your hair isn’t fully grown back yet so don’t scrub so hard.”

Xiao Liu sat to the side and munched on a snack and kept him company.

Perhaps because each scar on his body was a type of shame, the man always kept his head raised and eyes closed as to not look at his own body. He took the cloth and started washing himself. From the neck down to the chest down to the stomach and finally lower towards his legs.

Xiao Liu’s eyes followed his hand when suddenly he turned to the side and munched loudly on the duck neck, making crunch crunch sounds.

The man’s eyes opened and he looked towards Xiao Liu. The sunlight shone through the window and bathed Xiao Liu in light. His cheeks were red and it was illuminated by the sunlight like a piece of beautiful jade with red spots on it.

And then in chapter 8...we know why she got those red spots...

Xiao Liu sighed “I’m a man, don’t you think you’re being weird.”

This time Shi Qi’s response was immediate “You’re a girl.”

Xiao Liu actually felt Shi Qi had known for a long time that she was a girl, but how did Shi Qi know? “Why are you so certain? Even Xiang Liu being that smart can’t be absolutely certain I’m a girl.”

Shi Qi softly chuckled “That’s because he hasn’t seen you……” He suddenly shut up.

“Seen me what?”

Shi Qi refused to explain so Xiao Liu got more curious “Seen me what?” Xiao Liu shook Shi Qi’s arm     coquettishly and wheedled “Not seen me what? Tell me! Tell me!”

Xiao Liu was always acting like a loutish man and this was the first time showing a pouty girlish side. Even in the darkness and Shi Qi couldn’t see her face clearly, he was already defeated. He said “The first time I bathed after I was strong enough, you sat to the side and I saw…..when you saw my body…..I knew you…..to me…..”

Xiao Liu yelped and then covered her face “You’re lying! I didn’t, I didn’t!”

“I’m not lying.”

“You’re lying, it’s totally a lie. I never blush.”

“I’m not lying.”

Shi Qi usually gave in to whatever Xiao Liu wanted so this was the first time he was so absolutely stubborn and unwilling to concede to her. Xiao Liu turned around and refused to face Shi Qi or talk to Shi Qi anymore, using action to show that Shi Qi was lying and until he admitted it then she wasn’t going to talk to him.

Shi Qi was silent until Xiao Liu felt all wronged and grumbled “Such a little matter and you won’t even give me in to me.”

Shi Qi replied “It’s not a small matter.”

Xiao Liu pouted, if this wasn’t a small matter, then what counts as a small matter?-------------

***

.....that day you helped me bathe and when you saw my body you blushed beet red. In that instant I  was truly reborn. In your eyes, I was still a man…..a man who affected you…..”

Xiao Liu yelled “Don’t you dare say another word!”

Shi Qi’s eyes misted with tears and it splashed on Xiao Liu’s hair, but his voice was filled with mirth “When you carried me out of the tub, you didn’t even dare look directly at me before placing me on the pallet. You ran off even before you were done talking. How could I ever think you were a man?”

Xiao Liu hit him on the chest and groused “You are so sneaky! And here I thought you were the most honest! I was hoodwinked!”

**************************************************************************************************

From the Drama same scene :D !:

Yeah yeah....XD! Few seconds later:

Yeap yeap, for a Doc, she just forgot for a moment that she's a medic man :D! // While he regained his man standard  :D!  It's a beautifull  ongoing cleansing moment for both that begins <3

"Xiao Liu got more curious “Seen me what?” Xiao Liu shook Shi Qi’s arm   coquettishly and wheedled “Not seen me what? Tell me! Tell me!”

Xiao Liu was always acting like a loutish man and this was the first time showing a pouty girlish side. Even in the darkness and Shi Qi couldn’t see her face clearly, he was already defeated. He said “The first time I bathed after I was strong enough, you sat to the side and I saw…..when you saw my body…..I knew you…..to me…..”

 Symbolika1:

Chapter 1 – Life is Short Like a Temporary Stay:

                                                      Chapter 1 Xiao Yao - Tushan Jing story analysis:

                    Wen Xiao Liu and Shi Qi: Navigating the Canvas of Life

Introduction:

Wen Xiao Liu, or Little Six, represents a character with a seemingly carefree exterior, masking a deeper, multifaceted personality. His clinic, Hui Chun, specializing in infertility treatments, serves as a backdrop for exploring profound themes.

"Hui Chun Clinic may not be a large clinic, but Wen Xiao Liu was especially skilled at treating infertility."

Fertility as Symbol:

Fertility treatments under Xiao Liu's guidance symbolize hope, resilience, and the delicate balance between personal and professional motivations. The clinic becomes a sanctuary where fertility transcends its biological implications. 

"Fertility becomes a vessel through which broken narratives can be rewoven, offering the possibility of wholeness and continuity."

                                            *Compassion and Symbolic Gestures*

Encounter with the Beggar:

Xiao Liu's encounter with a beggar unfolds as a poignant dialogue on responsibility. Symbolic gestures, like stepping on the beggar's biscuit, showcase a carefree yet considerate demeanor.

"Xiao Liu admired the view while thinking the swans must be very plump and would be tasty to catch a few and roast them."

          And the red Flower as the represantion of their same shared vision of Life and Love.

Shi Qi's Trauma:

Shi Qi's introduction brings darkness, revealing a man bearing severe physical and emotional wounds. Xiao Liu's compassionate care sets the stage for themes of resilience, dignity, and the potential for rebuilding lives.

"Xiao Liu could see underneath his filthy body was a man of dignity."

Symbolism of Scars:

Shi Qi's scars become symbols of shame and trauma. Xiao Liu's meticulous care transforms into emotional restoration, emphasizing the power to overcome past scars and rebuild lives.

"Perhaps because each scar on his body was a type of shame, the man always kept his head raised and eyes closed as to not look at his own body."

Hair Washing as Profound Sensual Exploration:

The act of washing Shi Qi's hair emerges as a profoundly symbolic and sensual exploration, transcending mere physical care. Xiao Liu's gentle touch and meticulous attention to detail during this intimate act become a metaphor for cleansing not just the physical scars but also the emotional wounds inflicted by past traumas.

                                          *Themes and Symbolism*

Heaven's Jest and Mortals' Helplessness:

The description of the crescent moon symbolizes a sense of written destiniess in the face of celestial forces. However, the softened tone suggests a gentle jest,  indicating a more benevolent and greeting cosmic influence. Propice for new paths and rejuvanation.

"The crescent moon cast a soft glow upon the world below, its cold light a celestial whisper, as if the Heavens were gently jesting at the unfolding human narrative."

Trust, Honesty, and Intimacy:

The relationship between Xiao Liu and Shi Qi emphasizes the importance of trust, honesty, and gradual intimacy. The revelation of Xiao Liu's gender is possible because of those 3 points.

"Shi Qi softly chuckled 'That’s because he hasn’t seen you……' He suddenly shut up."

   =>   In Summary:

Chapter 1 of "Lost You Forever" ,  as explored through the dynamic between those two characters, intricately weaves together themes of hope, resilience, and rebuilding through the lens of fertility treatments (family hopes) - and personal relationships. The narrative delves into the characters' vulnerabilities, showcasing the potential for healing and growth in the face of past traumas, and the rising of the gender veil (respond to the one under the Sun light/YeshiQi). Wen Xiao Liu, with his expertise and compassionate nature, becomes a central figure in this exploration within the Rejuvanate Hall. And Shi Qi's introduction bring very forth the  themes of respectfull and enduring dignity even in trauma, and last but not least:  the extraordinary transformative power of trust and intimacy between two people.
