When I watched *Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils* as a child, I still can’t make sense of it even now. What is the regret of *Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils*? Murong Fu’s lifelong goal was something Duan Yu already had the moment he was born, while Duan Yu spent more than half his life pursuing Wang Yuyan, and yet Wang Yuyan was something Murong Fu could obtain effortlessly. How many people did Ding Chunqiu kill? The martial arts secret manual he dreamed of getting in his dreams—Xu Zhu obtained it with ease. Xu Zhu only wanted to stay at Shaolin Temple to cultivate, but in the end, he couldn’t go back; meanwhile, Ding Chunqiu’s entire life of evil ultimately allowed him to stay within the Buddhist realm and spend the rest of his life there. Duan Yu—he didn’t want to train in martial arts, but in the end, he became a martial arts master. As for Jiumozhi, he wanted to pursue the highest martial arts, but in the end he lost all his skills and became a cripple. Qiao Feng devoted himself to hating the Khitans, but in the end he discovered he was a Khitan himself. He spent his whole life wanting to protect the land and defend the Song, but in the end the Song had no place for him. Some people are born in Rome; others can never reach Rome in their lifetime. We spend our entire lives fighting for our own goals—only to finally realize that the goals others dream about and strive for are things we already have. So what is there that we can’t let go of?
