Earthquake

The acting in this episode was very well done. Everything was so happy after the game and then went horribly wrong. The anguish shown by Chen Xiao just tore at your heart. Lu Guang was also in pain because he understood the inevitability of the outcome and how much Chen Xiao Si would fight against it. When he returns he is so angry with Lu Guang and rightly so. As mentor he was more concerned with the outcome to get him to the mission most on his mind, rather than remembering the acute pain of not being able to change a tragedy. Here, he was the one that failed badly and the result was irreparable harm to Cheng Xiao Si’s mental state. He is already suffering serious PTSD and it is compounded because to his friends and family there is no reason for it. They can only see him suffer and try to comfort him and wonder why he is in such a state. He is visited by He Xu who says he is the only one that can help. He thinks it is the referral Lu Guang gave him. Lu Guang is staying close by, but Chen Xiao Si wants nothing to do with him and I don’t blame him.
