Next, I will show you an introduction to the character archetypes in the novel "Under the City". I hope it will be helpful to readers and look forward to your reading experience!
"Drunk and unable to sing for twelve years, having fun while working and sleeping in prison. Don't leave your name in the sea, who will believe that there is no money for wine in your waist." Just two lines of poems describe Song Chen's bitterness and suffering in these years. He was supposed to be a child prodigy. He was famous all over the world as the most talented person in the south of the Yangtze River. When he was about to be named on the gold medal list, he became a victim of the struggle in the court.
From then on, he was disabled and unable to paint, so he became a cold classic with terrible methods and a ruthless character. Song Chen had a cruel and vengeful "睚禰" tattooed on his back to tell himself that he could never forget the humiliation he had suffered in prison these years and that his life was ruined because of the struggle in court.
The more I think about Song Chen's experience, the more he resembles that of Tang Bohu. His life was completely overturned because of an unfair imperial examination case. He was originally a proud Jiangnan talent, but his destiny was completely changed because of an imperial examination fraud case. After checking, it turned out that the director mentioned in a previous interview that Song Chen's prototype was Tang Bohu. Song Chen's drunken poem at the end of the sixth episode was derived from Tang Bohu's poem.
The scene of drunken poetry writing is really painful to watch. That life was full of poetry and writing, and he could paint with his right hand. Now he has become Song Chen, who writes cases with his left hand. He could have been the most dazzling star of that era. In the end, Xingxing can only watch his life being completely destroyed without being able to fight.
