Bai Xingge has a pair of Taixu Spiritual Eyes.
In the seemingly golden "god kingdom" of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, she saw the phantoms with thousands of eyes and mouths hovering over the East Palace, saw the distorted reflection crawling out of the pond of the North Palace, and saw the giant cocoon woven of faith and resentment deep in the Heavenly Palace - she saw those famous Heavenly Kings turning into demons little by little.
A woman disguised herself as a man and entered the shogunate. She originally wanted to be a sober person in troubled times, but she became a participant in dancing with the devil.
For Yang Xiuqing, the King of the East, when his heavenly father descended to earth, the golden light shone brightly, but deep in the shadow, eyes that did not belong to him opened. She respected him as a hero and recited the soothing mantra for him every night, but she watched her arrogance swallow up her reason, and finally sent the sword into his alienated soul with her own hands. That is admiration and protection, but also a tragedy of powerlessness.
The winged king's stone was opened, and his wings were still guarding Qingming. The devil in the mirror whispered to him to escape. They are the only confidants in troubled times. They looked at the water of the Yangtze River side by side and agreed, "If you completely change, I will send you off." It was acquaintance and separation, a cold and long regret.
When Wei Changhui's shadow backfired on his body, when Hong Xiuquan turned into a deformed thing in the cocoon of the Kingdom of God, when the Tianjing Incident broke out, and the kings fell one after another - she was not the savior, but the one who opened her eyes in the blood and fire and closed the eyes of the heroes with her own hands.
"I see the king of heaven as I see a demon, and I see the inner demons living deep within the divine nature."
History + fantasy, tragic aesthetics of group portraits.
From the perspective of the heroine, witness how a woman can stay awake and guard the world when the Kingdom of God is in decline.
"She's not here to save Heaven, she's here to bury Heaven."
Intention: The inner demons are not evil, but the mirror of obsession; the false kingdom of God is the prison of sobriety. Witness the transformation of the king of heaven into a demon through the eyes of a woman, and understand the symbiosis of gods and demons in tragic aesthetics.
