Xian Jian Qi Xia Zhuan 仙剑奇侠传

Awwwie this is not looking good at all~! I've been virtually hooked to this TV drama series <<仙剑奇侠传>> over the past week during my spring break. Well this TV series is adapted from a popular chinese game developed by Softworld back in the 90s. I believe it's around 1996 where many famous novel dos games were created such as <<金庸群侠传>> etc. The plot is quite good in a way but the ending is super depressing. I recalled tears welling up my eyes uncontrollably...seriously @@

Well although tales and heroics in the fantasy world are spun around demons, fairies and gods, there's more meaning to the superficial good vs evil fighting and saving the world kinda playscripting. The show really rips open all the dark sinful sides of the human nature. I would like to share a few thoughts here, just my 2 cents worth. XD

In the show there's this fox and snake demon couple which had gone aroundover the years to devour human souls so as to reach their "nirvana" howeverthey were killed and destroyed by self-conceited humans whothought they had saved the world by getting rid of the 2 demons. Whenthe snake demon died, the fox demoness tried to revive her husband bysacrificing 500 years of her divine training to preserve her husband soul in anembryo. However she and the embryo were eradicated eventually.

Sad. Even demons have such strong emotions of love and sacrifice. If they could have the same feelings as what humans are having, what makes them more demonic and us more humanic? Are those who committed spouse abuse crimes considered still human? Humanity, devility are only a form of existence. We must embrace diversity; this draws parallels to our reality world. There is no the "others" like blacks, hispanics, whites, asians, etc. Although we are distinguished by ethnicity, we are but afterall belong to the same species.Secondly, when the so-called demons kill humans, we tagged them evil. But that is their only means of surviving. When humans kill elephants, bears, tigers, sharks, and all other endangered species, we don't necessary eat their meat for life sustainence do we? Most of the time we are killing them for their ivory tasks, their hides, their fins and their paws, yet we don't tag ourselves with the evil label!! No wonder cries of the world wildlife conservation are virtually inaudible. Take some moments to ponder when you are about to order shark's fin soup from your favorite restaurant next time or when you pass by an exquisite mink boutique.

Anyway yea just my 2 cents worth.
