It has been eleven years since I first saw Huan Zhu. In the past ten years, my living conditions, state of mind, and understanding of emotions have all changed, but every time I think of Return of the Pearl (Part 1), I can't help but be immersed in the sincere love between sisters, men and women, and father and daughter, and I am deeply moved by it. It is undeniable that Huanzhu has shortcomings of one kind or another, but one of the important reasons why it has been popular for ten years and continues to be popular may be that it provides us with a sweet dream about life. This dream is innocent, full of passion and hope, and belongs to that youthful time that everyone yearns for, so it can always make people yearn for it, be fascinated by it, and sing and sing wildly.
As time goes by, the princes and princesses in fairy tales have to grow up and must face a series of realistic tests. Can these people with dreams in their hearts continue their dreamlike legend and complete their own growth? How do they face the pain caused by unexpected growth, and finally find their own direction in life?
"Shocking Dream" follows the first part of "Returning the Pearl", because in my mind, the characters in the first part are the most classic, and at the same time, it also leaves endless clues for the subsequent stories...
