Elegant Writing | ‘See You Again’: Everyone Suffers, Only Yourself Can Transcend, And Reconciliation with Yourself Is The Key To Reconciliation With The World
The world is vast, and countless souls dwell within, each a unique being. Like in 'Kung Fu Panda,' there are Violet and Heather, one playful and lively, the other deep and aloof. They are twins, sharing a body but possessing fundamentally different facets, reflecting contrasting sides of a single soul.
Just like us, we often secretly yearn for a different version of ourselves—those gentle and nuanced individuals sometimes envy those free-spirited and unconstrained. We, those inwardly timid and with narrow circles, naturally hope for a more outgoing and popular self.
However, 'It's Hard to Change' – it's a truth that changing one's nature is an arduous task. Even with all our efforts, defying our inherent nature can lead to exhaustion. Therefore, we tend to view this as an imaginative thought, a momentary comfort.
Yet, the broadcast of 'See You Again' has transformed our fleeting thoughts into reality. The two girls with the same appearance have captivated each of us, like two sides of a coin.
Originally, Chen Yunru was an introverted girl, she disliked crowds, quiet and reserved, possessing obvious loneliness. It's unlikely she would attract much attention, so her friends were few.
Huang Yu Xuan, conversely, loved those who couldn't hold back their feelings, open-minded and straightforward, her thoughts and emotions easily discernible, and everyone enjoyed interacting with such outgoing people. If Huang Yu Xuan is a shining little sun, then Chen Yunru is undoubtedly a serene and cool moon.
When Chen Yunru, residing in Huang Yu Xuan's heart, urged her not to end her life in an extreme way, Chen Yunru felt that if she left, she would always be seen as the more popular version of herself, but it was the Chen Yunru she longed to be.
She yearned to be liked by others, but knew that even with all her efforts, she couldn't become Huang Yu Xuan-like. So, she chose to end her life, seeking to leave behind the lively and outgoing Chen Yunru.
At that moment, how desolate she must have been, seeing this, I couldn't help but remember when I was a child because of excessive introversion, I didn't dare to greet relatives and friends during festivals, and my parents repeatedly criticized me until now, whenever relatives come home, my parents still remind me to greet them. Back then, I wished I had a lively and beloved self to take my place.
Later, the plot developed with Chen Yunru's death as a clue, step by step, and finally, it turned out that Chen Yunru didn't die in the end. This plot is surprisingly unexpected but also reasonable. Huang Yu Xuan accepted Chen Yunru's thoughts and decided not to try to change her.
Waking up, Chen Yunru calmly told Mo Junjie about her past unhappiness, with a slight smile, 'It seems this world isn't as bad as I thought.'
Chen Yunru, Huang Yu Xuan – two sides of the same entity, ultimately began to understand and reconcile with themselves. When a person comes to terms with themselves, there's no more internal turmoil, and life's fluctuations will fundamentally change. Just like many scenes in the drama, change one's perspective and things will disappear or alter.
Seeing this, I couldn't help but feel relieved, because I also began to accept my introverted and timid nature, accept my inability to become an outgoing person, and accept myself, and gradually transformed from a 'glass heart' into a 'diamond heart,' even though I'm not liked by everyone, I won't despise myself.
Everyone has a child within them, not to battle against it, but to better understand and get along with oneself. When people kindly offer their advice, if your heart resists or knows you can't achieve it, don't force yourself, because throughout our lives, we must learn to harmonize with our inner self to avoid exhaustion.
'All beings suffer, only by crossing the river oneself.' Others' opinions are references, only we know what we truly want, let us sail the wind, harmonize with ourselves, and embark on our beautiful life's journey.
