What is your problem? I am already sad enough as is, why are you making me sadder... Personally for me it's not…
sometimes sharing each other sadness and talking about it, analizying it it's just a way to overcome our pain together and Oddshare does it in such an interesting way.
If so when the big CY comes back, I wonder if QL jumps him in the parking lot and they drive to find a spot to…
the small theater was released weeks ago, i think it's the first for subscribers only, around the time episode 7 aired. they're not following the chronological order with the bts and i'm confused ahah
I understand the need for it to seem shot internationally but all the Korean signage is distracting 😅 that…
Shazam isn't good with chinese music. i tried to Shazam a song in a show the other day and it didn't exist either (but i know for sure it's the main theme of a wuxia drama, i just don't remember wich one). maybe it's that.
because it represent the gate to the underworld and the author is referencing chinese folk stories. more than…
thank you for assuming i have super power and can detect the nationality of strangers on a website with no hints at all. i'm flattered really, but i'm not that powerful. you're also very good at pretending not to know something this easy of your alleged culture (sorry it's not that i don't trust your word on being chinese, it's that my crystal ball doesn't work really well these days, so i can't really tell with my super power whether you're saying the truth or just don't like my reply and you're going all passive aggressive on me). thank you for your trust in my super powers and sorry for letting you down, i'll train my qi better.
I'm sorry but he was deeply depressed. He could not switch and be all happy and in love in one night. Depression…
(was this comment for me?) maybe, but that wasn't what the author wanted to communicate i think. if we just put aside her religious belief and we look at it with secular eyes, Qintian represent clinical depression and sometimes whether you want it or not, despite all of your efforts to get out of it (Qintian trying to rebuild) you just can't. you may pretend even with yourself untill it becomes unbearable. this is not the kind of show that kills character as a plot device because the writer is sloppy and doesn't know what to do with them or doesn't know how to move the story, or just throws some random angst. so there has to be a reason. it's no my vision, it's hers. i respect her work as an author even though i might not agree with her choices. but as long as she's not making fools of all of us i'll keep respecting her
Guo ge in his livestream yesterday said that in next episode all the people involved will adjust to the situation…
i'm trying to function in society as well but it's getting harder ahahahah so far i'm keeping all my old accounts but my feed's totally changed. i wasn't even active on this website before.
One line in the epi 14 clip was to QL saying something like “your plan worked”. Hopefully QL and CY are taking…
just watched it. it's them bickering before starting the shooting 😂 it's kind of funny (also Guo ge said there's not an actual bts of the scene because it was dark...do we believe him?). ah on youtube there's something new for subrscribers, does anyone know what it is?
becaue he was not actually well. both the authot and her assistant have explained their point of view. should…
First of all, I hope this post can be a place for everyone to let their emotions out.
As for Episode 13, there are still a few things I’d like to say.
Regarding Qing Tian’s departure, during filming Xiao Hu was actually on set with us the whole time. Back then, it still felt like Qing Tian was by our side, so the grief never hit us that deeply. Only now, with the episode finally airing, have we gone through this farewell for a second time alongside all of you, and only now do we truly understand how painful it is.
If you ever miss Qing Tian in the future, go watch Xiao Hu. Thanks to him, that bright young boy will always remain alive in our hearts.
As someone who was deeply involved in both the creation and filming of this series, I’d like to share a few thoughts.
From a storytelling perspective, Episode 13 is probably my favorite.
Its central theme is incredibly clear: Qing Tian’s departure serves as the conclusion to everything that came before it. The pacing, editing, soundtrack, and the iconic falling leaves sequence all come together beautifully. With delicate, gentle, and restrained direction, the director quietly prepared Qing Tian’s path toward heaven, letting him walk forward with a smile, one step at a time.
If Qing Jie’s tragedy was a sudden and devastating blow, then Qing Tian’s departure is a lesson every one of us has to learn:
Let go of our obsession with perfect endings, and learn to accept the impermanence of life.
Qing Tian had been trapped in the past for far too long. When Chen Ning turned into a plant, more than half of his soul had already been taken away. Whatever strength he had left, he gave entirely to his mother, his grandmother, Qing Lang, Wen Mei, and Yu Xiang… while completely forgetting to show the same kindness to himself.
It may seem as though Tea Mountain healed him, but in truth, it wasn’t the mountain itself. It was that pure place that finally allowed him to let go of his worldly attachments, quiet his heart, and clearly see what he truly longed for.
Tea Mountain remains Tea Mountain. The Great Snow Mountain remains the Great Snow Mountain.
Neither changes because of anyone’s regrets or obsessions.
Life comes from nature, and ultimately returns to nature. Respecting life, respecting heaven and earth, should be instinctive to us. Yet we often become lost in the uncertainty of this world, exhausting ourselves while searching for a perfect, definitive answer to ease our fears.
But that perfect answer is ultimately just an illusion.
Humanity has always searched for the truth of life. Perhaps we’ll never fully understand it, but we’ll never stop searching.
We are as insignificant as ants before nature. The same is true for the village, for Yu Xiang, and even for Qing Lang, who is slowly learning to accept this reality.
Heaven and earth will never bend to human wishes.
The gentle salvation you long for may instead become life’s most difficult lesson.
Only by changing ourselves from within can we truly be reborn.
Seen from another perspective, Qing Tian was actually fortunate.
After enduring so much suffering, he still retained the ability to love. He learned to adjust himself, to face himself honestly, and to remain true to his heart.
The final moment of his life was also the brightest moment of his entire existence.
The mountains and rivers remain unchanged.
Tea Mountain has never changed either.
And Tea Mountain will always love that young man.
To all of us, he will forever be Tea Mountain’s little prince.
Those worn canvas shoes left behind are proof that he has finally returned to where he truly belongs.
Life itself is a journey. There are reunions and farewells, joy and regret. He experienced them all, and his life was complete.
By now, my heart feels empty.
But emptiness is also a state of being.
A truly great story shouldn’t only leave us feeling “full.” Like the stillness that follows a storm, it is in silence that we begin to understand that life and death, good and evil, light and darkness, cause and effect are the deepest laws of existence.
Love, hatred, attachment, joy, and sorrow are all fleeting emotions.
Finally, I’d like to leave everyone with a quote by Rabindranath Tagore:
“The world has kissed my soul with its pain, asking for its return in songs.”
I hope that, even after understanding the truth of impermanence, all of us can continue to live sincerely and freely. 🫂
