[LCLA TL] Farewell to He Xu, from the one who was once him

He Xu's actor, Liu Chang, wrote a post to celebrate the finale of the Link Click Live Action.

Translation below. Full show spoilers!

Hui feng he chang, nuan yang he xu. Warm sun and pleasant breeze. 

From an objective point of view, no matter how you look at it, He Xu is not a good person: he deceived his friends and teacher, broke the rules of this world… He is despicable, and deserves to be fast-forwarded. But I was once him, so it’s difficult to be objective. 

At a time when sunlight should have shone upon his world, it was instead dark clouds that blocked the sky. Without the love of a father or mother, he grew up in an orphanage, but it was alright, his elder sister carried fire to bring him the warmth that he deserved, perhaps even beyond what ordinary family could provide. So he did not become ashen, and still loved this world that had his sister in it. But it was as though this world did not want him, and so let his sister depart. 

If you were He Xu, would you let go of the chance to save your sister? To be honest, I’m extremely reluctant to discuss the trolley problem. Morality and ego will always be in conflict. But when the only person who loves you is about to perish, how could you so easily bear to lose them. 

You couldn’t, and nor could He Xu. 

He only wanted his sister not to lose her life in the accident. If possible, he certainly wouldn’t want to harm anyone else. But when the two options were placed in front of him, he selfishly chose to not leave any regrets. Perhaps this selfishness is something we can all understand. 

But no matter what, we must return to the objective point of view.

He Xu was too extreme. Not only did his obsession lead him into the abyss, it also led his sister to immense pain. Let alone those innocent bystanders who were dragged in.

I can’t bear to criticize him, his regrets are too sorrowful. But he was wrong to let himself become hateful. 

If there could be another timeline, I hope that he and his sister could find happiness, and happily finish that Christmas dinner. In that timeline, every day is one of warm sun and pleasant breeze.

Finally, as an actor, to be able to meet this kind of deep character is my fortune. Added to the fact that this is an IP that I like, a team that I like, this doesn’t come easy. So I performed to the very best of my ability. I hope that everyone enjoys the show, I hope that everyone doesn’t hate He Xu too much. The power of Link Click allows viewers to ask themselves: If you could return to the past, where in time would you want to go? And I ask myself this question, but the answer is unknown, or maybe I don’t want to return to the past at all. What, if I redid these experiences that I’ve already had, I would like them more? So, why not instead archive our experiences upon the timeline, and bring them along as we continue to slowly go forward. 

Past or future, let them be. 

I hope that everyone’s days are both peaceful and richly colorful.

Aside: I’ve been to Time Photo Studio, yay!

Also, I didn’t lie to you guys, really crying to death 🧎

tagged by @bnbc @katsigian and @silverpixelcloud to do this THANK YOU!! <3 i love not shutting up

rules:

👻 post 5 facts about your oc

👻 go into the recent section of the #cyberpunk 2077 tag and rb some posts. and be nice. [i will do that when i am not afraid of people. dont worry about it. hold me at gun point if you must]

👻 tag people to keep the game going

who else would i talk about other than this fruit of a man.

1. he grew up as part of the valentinos, with his father taking him out on jobs at a very early age, which wasn't a very good idea - but he was the eldest child, and his father figured that getting him involved in gang business early would've been for the best. seb hated it, but was also thankful for it in a way, because it at least meant he could keep his younger siblings safe from as much harm as possible

2. he 'left' [see: got kicked out of] his family at 19, when he decided he didn't want to live the gang life forever, and wanted to work for a corp in order to get more money for his family. they [1000% just his father actually] shunned him pretty much immediately, and he was left to live alone on the streets for 2 years. he handled himself pretty well, using the skills he learned over the years to con people out of money and get by relatively unscathed.

3. i could go into sooo much more detail with all of that but then we'd all be here forever so basically; steals money from someone at arasaka, she is like whoa lol, gets him working at arasaka as an assistant, eventually becomes something of a bodyguard/intimidation device for people who worked there. they get married [not good], and then she cheats on him [with their boss [also not good]]

4. he understandably got angry bc of that, and when he threatened to quit, his boss beat the shit out of him and left him for dead in an alleyway, which is where his cyberjaw/neck cyberware comes from. the attack also left him with a prosthetic leg. if he was just some guy who left, none of that would've happened. but unfortunately he was a very important asset bc they were experimenting on him - drugs and other fun things that greatly improved his combat skills, and made him more useful. and if any of that info got out, everyone involved would've been greatly fucked over basically. and because they'd kind of fucked up by making him highly dangerous, the only option was to kill him. but that didn't go very well and now here we are 👍 i said i wasnt going to ramble but. anyway

5. and then from all of that, he slowly got back on his feet and became the leader of a small gang who mostly deals with fucking over corpos for people whos lives have been ruined by them - sometimes also helping corpos get revenge on each other, mostly bc it's always petty drama, it's funny, And they get a lot of money out of it. they also do security stuff on the side. because of their reputation amongst corpos, seb is often the target of assassination attempts, and always gets out of it unscathed. but he is currently being hunted down by a VERY stubborn merc who is the first guy in many years who has ever come close to killing him, so life is finally getting exciting for him again (^:< ehehehe

BONUS FACT HE HAS A CAT CALLED FRANKIE STROMBOLI
