When I was a child, I was most impressed by the episode of Inhumans, not only because the life of Master Ding Oil and Mei Xiang was hanging by a thread, but also because of the strange and beautiful love. A late more than a decade of revenge, subverts the tone of the whole Chinese.
The origin of the story is simple.
Li Yan, a chef at a restaurant, and Ding You both fell in love with Mei Xiang. And Mei Xiang father and put forward the cooking competition set.
Ding oil character taciturn, with a straight face seems cold and inhumane, in fact, treat people gently. Li Yan seems to be a lot more cheerful, although it is not until the eve of cooking to invite the girl to confess his heart. Both men are very good. It’s too close to call.
To the game to decide sister life itself is very inconsistent with the responsibility, and sister already have a heart to belong, and Ding oil this said less do more typical, early silent and sister private fixed life. Since Mei Xiang has made up her mind, there should be no more contests in principle. How ancient sister is insignificant, cannot decide their own life event, said Mei Xiang father harsh or reality, and actually in know their daughter after love also insisted on making this cooking.
The game is the game; the accident is a lot of fear of Ding oil met too strong opponents, fear of abnormal play, fear of accident…. For Mei Xiang, who is entrusted with a cook-off in her lifetime, her chosen resistance is to poison the lobster used in the contest. It was a struggle, because it was the only way she could protect her love against her father’s determination. Is to do Taichung or do spring, is rather when a hand rose to fight for their own interests, or silent at the mercy of fate, this varies from person to person; I can’t go to blame her.
But the accident still appeared that is Li Yan’s love.
In fact, winning or losing the game is a common thing; a match lost will destroy a person? No, having her taken away in a despicable way is Li Yan’s reason for revenge. Losing the game is small, losing life is big. Sadly, Li Yan lost his love long ago and didn’t realize it until he died.
In fact, looking back on the Inhumans revenge, I find it strange that, if Li Yan thought it was because of the tin oil, why didn’t he ask for the match to be stopped and the kitchenware checked to get to the bottom of it? If the butyl oil is naughty, it will just kick him out, won’t it Poison needle will not fly away, botched and flawed cheating is the opponent’s biggest weakness.
Why did this revenge come so late?
The reason is simple enough.
Li Yan has a soft heart. Even after years of penance in the world of dark cuisine, he is still a natural nerd. His love for Mei Xiang is undeniable, and it takes so many years after Mei Xiang’s death to return for revenge.
Whether he was betrayed by Mei Xiang or Ding You, Li Yan could not be cruel to expose it at that time. He lost when he fell into the trap, but those who cheated could only be expelled from the local chef circle. That sounds like a very holy thing to say about him. But it is normal to be Stoic and timid in the face of a loved one’s crimes.
Li Yan he, just can’t expose his fellow – I say this, I don’t know how many people understand. It seems that love and brotherhood are inseparable in Li Yan’s heart.
But the pain of betrayal, not being able to face the ugly faces of those who betrayed him, and the sadness of losing what he loved made Li Yan choose to leave. So I say Li Yan’s love is the outlier in this game. His decisive departure is Mei Xiang did not expect it, so sister will bear the guilt for the rest of her life.
Ding you apparently learned the truth after (or in the middle of) the match, but he didn’t tell Li Yan. It is also because of love, in order to protect Mei Xiang; he would rather be regarded as a despicable villain and hated by Li Yan. Li Yan did hate tin oil, but his heart was too soft and he did not have enough will to carry out his revenge. So he joined the world of dark cuisine, hoping to become a vengeful man. After the death of Mei Xiang for many years, when he thought he was finally cruel enough to face the Ding oil, can retaliate and can tell the truth, Li Yan chose to send a revenge letter to Yangquan hotel on the day of Mei Xiang’s death that had been delayed for too many years.
I think Mei Xiang is really a legend. Butyl oil for her, willing to hide the truth, is hated. Even though Li Yan knew the truth, his heart still did not change. But legends always die so early, leaving grudges in the world.
The grind of the dark food industry has indeed made Li Yan cruel, and he can finally give back all the tricks that he was framed by. Who cares about poisoning a few people? He didn’t even care about poisoning Mei Xiang’s daughter. Although the man was once so kind, he has turned into a demon. Year after year immersed in grief unable to extricate them, the hatred has swallowed Li Yan’s heart, dominate his soul. Suddenly look at Ding oil has been a father for so many years, received a good apprentice, things have changed, everything has moved forward with time, and Li Yan is still trapped in that tragic cooking competition. The revenge would have ended in the destruction of the three men had Liu not stirred up his still-dead pride as a chef.
Li Yan really loves Mei Xiang. In a sense, his life had already ended because of the loss of this love, and more than ten years of preparation for revenge was just an echo of the distant past. Love so, not ridiculous, not sigh
There is no denying that in China, I like butyl oil very much. Maybe it was because he was the last of the three to live alone, or maybe it was because he accepted it all in silence.
People passed away, one year Qingming an inch of new green.
