Title : War and Beauty

Kong Wu chose to hold on tightly to the two women, despite Ru Fei's request to grab the hand of the one whom he would have wanted to bring out of the palace. “Only one”, she said, "Either Anqian or me."

I teared. This was my second time watching this scene and I teared again. A strong wave of emotion just had to struck me hard, tugging at my heartstrings, making me feel the pain, for each and every one of them. No one wanted to be left behind, yet no one wanted to be the one who was chosen. Three persons, three hearts, three stories to tell. Three pain to be felt.

Ru Fei loved Kong Wu, yet she didn't want him to take her away from the icy cold palace. All she could do was to push him away, to scream at him to leave. That was all she could do.

Anqian loved Kong Wu, yet she had to pull him away from Ru Fei and to leave with her. Despite the fact that it was against her wishes, despite the fact that putting herself in his shoes, she would never leave Ru Fei behind too. But that was all she could do.

Kong Wu loved Anqian. It was not clear whether he loved Ru Fei, too. Kong Wu had to leave Ru Fei behind so that he and Anqian would have a better chance of surviving. And that was all he could do.

Another three individuals. Erchun, Sun Baiyang and Yuying. Another three stories to tell. Erchun loved Sun Baiyang, Sun Baiyang loved Yuying and Yuying, well, she loved him.

******

No one should be blamed for everything that has happened. For each has her or his own story to tell. They have gone through pain that I guess no one would have wished for it to happen to them and they are willing to trade anything in order to lessen the pain. The one who loves is always the one who is willing to sacrifice anything for the one he/she loves. There's no doubt about that.

So, who do you want to be? Anqian, Ru Fei or Kong Wu?
