The world is full of strange things. Every game and every character is like a tiny and silent wave in life, beating against the shore of reality. Feng Jin, the wind-attributed traveler, is such a wave. She will appear in the 3.3 version of Honkai Impact 3rd. Her growth and breakthrough actually reflect the unspeakable struggle in each of our hearts.
The amount of materials needed for her growth is jaw-dropping. Fear crushed more than fifty pieces of flesh and blood, courage tore more than seventy pieces of chest, glory baptized nearly seventy bodies, and the drunken era, more than sixty. Counting these cold numbers, it seems that they have piled up into an invisible wall, trapping people in it, forcing her to use all her courage and tenacity to break through the siege.
But behind these numbers, there is more than just the accumulation of materials. They symbolize the unavoidable hardships in life. Fear is an innate instinctive reaction to the unknown. Each of us has our own “fear that crushes flesh and blood”, which hits the heart like a hammer and makes people unable to breathe. Feng Jin needs to use these broken fears as materials to build a bridge to a higher realm, just as we must face our fears in reality to move forward.
And the “courage torn the chest” is the product of fighting fear, the struggle and resistance in pain. In life, how many people choose to surrender in the face of difficulties, but how many people choose to stand up straight and face the difficulties. Feng Jin’s growth is the courage forged with blood after countless times of tearing her heart and chest, and she must use this courage to challenge the cruel fate.
“Glory baptizes the body” – these three words seem to be a yearning for glory. It is not an illusory fantasy, but a precipitation after countless tortures and sacrifices. Glory should not be a praise that is easily obtained, but a trace after going through thousands of hardships. Every breakthrough and every sublimation of Feng Jin is soaked with her sweat and tears. Her glory is the proof of suffering and the testimony of survival.
As for the exclusive light cone, “May the rainbow light stay in the sky forever”, it is not just a game prop, but more like a mirror reflecting the heart. Everyone has imagined a rainbow of their own in their hearts. Maybe it is far away, maybe it is nothing, but the existence of that light is enough to support us to grope forward in the dark. Feng Jin’s light cone is her call for freedom and a symbol of her unyielding.
However, it is not easy to obtain this light cone. It requires a lot of materials and resources, just like any ideal worth pursuing in life, it comes with a price. Feng Jin’s road is just like a microcosm of the fate of many people: the fierce collision of desire and reality, the repeated contest between dreams and hardships. She must pay countless hard work and sacrifices to pull herself up from the sinking and welcome that touch of glory.
“The seed of thought”, “the sprout of manas” and “the Alaya flower”, these names sound mysterious, but they are just like the seeds in our spiritual world. Only by careful watering and patient waiting can they take root, sprout and finally bloom. Her growth is a meticulous and long process, full of countless trivial details and hardships. Only after experiencing all this, she is qualified to stand at the top of the Star Dome Railway.
The nouns “the sound of the same wish”, “the footprints of fate” and “the feelings and experiences of the journey” in the trace materials are not just cold words, but the memories, experiences and insights she accumulated during the journey. Every detail, like a piece of stone, paved the way for her growth. Her story is not only a plot in the game, but also a silent epic about life, struggle and persistence.
This reminds me that life is a long railroad track, and everyone walks on it. Feng Jin’s story is a metaphor for this track: every breakthrough requires strength, and every journey is inevitable. Only by sticking to the original intention and moving forward bravely can we find our own direction under the starry sky.
The world of games is illusory, but from Feng Jin’s growth process, we see the truth of human heart. It reminds us that life will not change easily because of people’s desires. Only with tenacity and courage can we gradually walk out of our own bright road.
Feng Jin is not alone on this starry railway. Each of us is Feng Jin, silently breaking through our own shackles, and telling the world with actions: “I don’t want to give in, I want freedom.” This is her true meaning and the belief of all of us.
Perhaps the future is full of unknowns and even full of suffering. But as long as we hold the belief that “May the rainbow light stay in the sky forever”, Feng Jin and we will eventually welcome the moment when the sun rises in the east.
