Feng Jin, as a character who is about to appear in Star Dome Railway, needs materials for her growth that are not only consumables in the game mechanism, but also a reflection of the times and the depths of human nature. Her “fear crushes flesh and blood” and “courage tears the chest”, these words seem to be virtual props in the game, but they carry cruel metaphors that are difficult to avoid in the real world.
In this era of material desires, indifference and anxiety, everyone who wants to grow and break through will inevitably experience the tearing of “fear” and “courage”. The so-called “fear crushes flesh and blood” is the feeling of being exhausted and trampled when people are trapped and deprived in real life. The flesh and blood being crushed does not only refer to physical injuries, but also a metaphor for the ruthless trampling of souls and dignity.
And “courage tears the chest” is very much like those lives that are strangled by reality but still try to struggle and resist. Courage is a kind of persistence that is painful but cannot be abandoned. It is to tear oneself apart in the sea of suffering in life, looking for a breathing space. Feng Jin’s growth is completed in this tearing and pain.
“Glory baptizes the body” sounds glamorous, but it is actually an ironic label. This so-called glory is often the fur exchanged for countless sacrifices and hardships. It covers up the cruelty of reality and the unspeakable pain of ordinary people. Behind the glory are trampled roads and broken hearts.
In addition, the materials such as “Thought Seed”, “Manas Sprout”, “Alayahua” and so on that Feng Jin needs in the game are full of philosophical and religious symbolism. They seem to remind us that outside the cold material world, there is still spiritual sustenance and space for thinking. People look for hope in despair and cultivate faith in helplessness. As these materials symbolize, buds sprout in the dark, waiting to break through the ground.
“The sound of the same wish” and “the footprints of fate” are the traces left by Feng Jin, like the echo of an era, a river forgotten by history. They record the trajectory of Feng Jin’s growth and also imply the impermanence and ruthlessness of fate. Life is like a play, with thorns all over the path, but it is inevitable to move forward on this track.
All this is not just a setting in the game, but more like a reflection of the struggle and persistence in reality. Feng Jin’s growth trajectory is like countless people who are swept away by the torrent of the times. Although they have experienced hardships, they still hold dreams and hopes. The setting of the game inadvertently reveals the deepest pain and beauty of human nature.
This reminds me of those neglected groups, those people who are “trampled and crushed” in reality. Their pain and persistence are the materials that Feng Jin relies on for growth. We use the names of props in the game to metaphor the hardships in reality, which just shows the unknown deep connotation behind this game.
In this era of rapid change, everyone, like Feng Jin, must arm themselves with “courage” and “glory”. Only after experiencing “fear” and “tearing” can we usher in real growth. Feng Jin’s story is a mirror that reflects the morbidity of society and the tenacity of human nature.
Perhaps, each of us has a piece of “fear-crushed flesh and blood” and a “chest torn by courage” in our hearts. These pains are an indispensable part of our lives and the source of power that shapes our personality and soul. Feng Jin’s growth material, like a metaphor, forces us to face our hearts and the suffering and glory that are covered up.
Finally, this is not just a game strategy, but a profound dialogue about human nature, society and the times. Every breakthrough of Feng Jin seems to be calling for our inner awakening. May we all find a beam of light in the darkness and use the hope of “May the rainbow light stay in the sky forever” to illuminate the way forward.
