I’m curious of the knife Xia Fei is carrying has dark and tragic meanings for season 3. I looked up some of the symbolism for knife and it is so interesting. Symbolism of control, revenge, betrayal, and survival. All of these words fit Xia Fei so well of him wanting to have control of his life, wanting revenge, will betray others for causing harm and betraying him, and Xia Fei trying to survive life.
Xia Fei wants to keep control of his chaotic life. The knife could represent of Xia Fei keeping or loss control of his own situation. From what happened in his past, what happening to him in the present now, and for his far future. Xia Fei doesn’t want to lose more control of his life. Xia Fei lost control of his life many times we know at the moment. Xia Fei’s unknown past of his life in Bahati which he lost control of his life and possibly amnesia. Xia Fei’s financial troubles. Xia Fei dealing with bullying. Vein with his fake death of Xia Fei feels loss of control further in chaos in his life. Now in the present got kidnapped by human traffickers and with Xia Fei lost control of his situation. We will see how Xia Fei will gain control of his situation in season 3.
Xia Fei from three years ago and now in the present wants to get revenge for what happened to Vein death, even though he actually alive. Which Xia Fei doesn’t know Vein is alive. Xia Fei will do what he can to get revenge. I can see Xia Fei will used both his looks and intelligence to get what he wants in order to get revenge. The anger Xia Fei has built up over the three years of Vein death and Xia Fei’s anger will increase once he remembers his past. Xia Fei seeking vengeance for everything he been through.
The knife can mean either literal or figurative when it comes to betrayal. Xia Fei can betray Cheng Xiaoshi and Lu Guang due to feeling lied to by them by hurting either them with a knife or hurt them in another way. Xia Fei also got hurt by both Vein and Liu Xiao. He could later on betrayed them as well in a different way to sabotage them.
Xia Fei all his life is always in survival mode with financial issues and people hurting him. With Xia Fei past in Bahati of him possibly getting hurt and the human experimentation theories. Xia Fei going through financial issues all his life and working in many jobs. Xia Fei getting bullied due to other people jealousy and being harassed by others touching him also due to his looks. Xia Fei defending himself from these people. Now Xia Fei getting kidnapped by human traffickers. We will see in season 3 how Xia Fei try to survive in this dangerous situation.
The knife for Xia Fei is going to be scary, tragic, and interesting for season 3. Xia Fei going through so much emotions all his life and now. I’m going to have major feels for Xia Fei and will mostly cry for him in season 3. I’m really excited for season 3. For what Xia Fei is going to do and what happened to him in Bahati.
