ive seen people say that in the first episode of yingdu lu guang shuts the curtains on the setting sun representing how hes ignoring cheng xiaoshi dying (cxs having been compared to the sun before) and keeps going instead of clapping out. the sun is rising though at that time. hes only considering clapping out because his twelve hours are almost up---its 5:30 in the morning. and what sun in china sets at 5 in april anyway... maybe hes shutting the curtains to ignore the tomorrows that will keep coming without cheng xiaoshi, or hes shutting out and denying the world to stay in the reality he crafts for himself where cheng xiaoshi is still alive (alone in the darkness of his room, where hes not letting light enter).
#the rising sun sounds kind of hopeful though. no? lu guang shuts his curtains on it. shao yuanyuan in comparison shuts them#on the setting sun. i was skeptical on how syy's story was going to be handled in s3 because shes going through her own 'lu guang' story#a story that we already have. but if there is this difference then perhaps theres hope yet for strong levels of syy relevance to the plot 🙏#if cheng xiaoshi is meant to represent the sun... lu guang is keeping everything in stasis instead of letting them progress naturally#shao yuanyuan is putting a pause on being in her son's life indefinitely for her own goals. thus ignoring his deterioration#she didnt know he died either. but i'll blame that on lu guang. he probably never gave anyone the chance to find out#if the sun is supposed to represent tomorrow... lu guang is not letting tomorrow happen#and shao yuanyuan... is not letting today end? because shes not overwriting the timeline like lu guang is. otherwise ten years wouldnt#have passed for cheng xiaoshi to grow up. shes doing dives she can clap out of. shes changing the past for the sake of the present.#probably. while lu guang admits hes reliving memories for the possibility of a better future even if it doesnt come true#anywayz#link click#hanancouldyounot#hanancouldyoupost
