In memory of the 2nd anniversary of the release of Nirvana in Fire, we dedicate this piece as a tribute to Hu Ge and Mei Changsu.
Nirvana in Fire is airing for the second time. It is my favorite period drama of the last few years. It has been over a hundred days since I first watched it in November 2015. It still lingers on my mind, and the lead character brother Su (Su Zhe – Mei Changsu’s pseudonym) downright compelled me to become a diehard fan of Hu Ge. Hence, I decided to personally pen a piece about Hu Ge’s acting, his character brother Su, the people around him and their relationships. This is a tribute to Hu Ge, for his flat out brilliant delivery of Mei Changsu’s poetic and heroic life, and to celebrate his nomination as Outstanding Actor for the 30th Flying Apsaras Award.
琅琊榜二轮播出啦，这是近年我最喜欢的一部国剧，距离十一月刚开始看已经过去了百余天，却仍是对它念念不忘，酥胸这个角色也把我圈成了老胡的铁粉。于是我决定亲自动笔，写写老胡的演技，写写苏兄和围绕他形成的人物关系。送给获得飞天提名的胡歌，感谢他扛起了这部“一个人的史诗”。
The first few episodes of Nirvana in Fire can be a bit much to digest, with the many characters, their complex relationships, and countless hidden storylines. There is probably a lot that falls between the cracks for first-time viewers, yet when viewers get the hang of it and watch the drama for the second time, they would be amazed by the intricate construction of the plot line. In the entire first episode, Brother Su, including Lin Shu in flashback memories, appears for only 16 minutes, but the plot is assembled piece by piece, an image builds up slowly, obscured in mystery, bearing the burden of a tormented past; a divine talent, unfathomable and possessing unparalleled wisdom, gradually builds up before us.
