The song "The Night We Met" by Lord Huron reflects the intensity and nostalgia of a romantic relationship that has ended or changed significantly. When applied to the relationship between Hua Cheng and Xie Lian in Heaven Official's Blessing, the lyrics highlight the profound connection these two characters share, despite the obstacles they have faced. A core theme in the lyrics is wanting to return to the past, to "the night we met" when the relationship was new and uncomplicated by time and challenges. This evokes Hua Cheng's longing for his early interactions with Xie Lian centuries ago, when Xie Lian showed him kindness and acceptance that he had never known before. Their first meeting left an indelible mark on Hua Cheng's heart and soul, one that persisted through his hundred years of devotion and longing before Xie Lian's return. The lyrics capture how pivotal and precious those first moments were, setting the stage for a deep bond to form. The song also refers to feeling haunted by the "ghost" of a lover, unable to let go of powerful memories and emotions. This resonates with Hua Cheng's unwavering loyalty and love for Xie Lian over hundreds of years, carrying the "ghost" of their initial connection with him always. It emphasizes how meaningful and enduring their relationship is for Hua Cheng, transcending time and tribulations. Even when separated, his love persists as a constant, if bittersweet, presence in his life. However, the lyrics also reflect uncertainty and imperfection in the relationship, seeming to reference the speaker's regret over not fully appreciating their lover when they were together. This evokes the complications Hua Cheng and Xie Lian face in reconciling their reunion after centuries apart, no longer being the same people they once were. Their renewed relationship requires effort, understanding and compromise to account for how much they have grown and changed. The song speaks to difficulties in recapturing the purity of "the night we met." Yet within these difficulties lies hope, as the song expresses deep longing to return to better times together. This parallels Hua Cheng and Xie Lian's joint commitment to overcoming obstacles and reconnecting based on the profound bond they share. Their love has proven resilient despite being tested by time, tragedy and misunderstandings. As the lyrics convey, the strength of their initial connection drives them forward through challenges. Beyond reflecting Hua Cheng and Xie Lian's specific relationship, the song also evokes larger themes relevant to their story and its cultural significance. The wistful desire to return to a pivotal moment in a romance speaks to the power of nostalgia and memory in relationships more broadly. The lyrics underscore how universal it is to idolize beginnings, when passion burned brightest. This adds poetic resonance to Hua Cheng's longing for his first interactions with Xie Lian centuries prior. More deeply, the song echoes the theme of persistence in pursuing meaningful relationships despite hardships. Hua Cheng persists in his devotion to Xie Lian for hundreds of years, while Xie Lian remains dedicated to redeeming himself after his fall from grace. Their loyalty across lifetimes, captured aesthetically in the song, models perseverance in fighting for love. This theme holds special relevance for LGBTQ+ relationships, which face societal obstacles and must withstand stigma. Hua Cheng and Xie Lian's enduring bond despite external challenges makes their love story a powerful representation of queer relationships through a fantasy lens. Their romance models resilience similar to what real-life LGBTQ+ couples must summon. The song's depiction of persisting across time and barriers, never forgetting treasured first moments together, translates beautifully to the courage required for LGBTQ+ couples to face a world that does not always accept them. In this way, the song adds emotional depth to Hua Cheng and Xie Lian's significance as queer romantic protagonists. Imagery of returning to the security of the past parallels the real struggles of LGBTQ+ couples longing for understanding within unaccepting families or communities. The characters' devotion speaks to finding strength in love when society rejects one's identity. Their bond matters not just in the story's context but as part of a collective narrative - it represents the importance of visibility for diverse relationships that defy norms. This serves as valuable representation in fiction and media, asserting that LGBTQ+ romances deserve acknowledgment and celebration. Hua Cheng and Xie Lian's love, reinforced by the evocative lyrics of "The Night We Met," is testament to the significance of hard-won queer relationships. Their story provides catharsis by honoring a journey toward acceptance that many LGBTQ+ readers and viewers undertake in their own lives. In this way, the song adds layers of emotional impact by connecting the characters' fantasy romance to real-life struggles for LGBTQ+ couples to be seen and embraced as equal. Hua Cheng and Xie Lian's story, enriched by the song's resonant themes of nostalgia and perseverance, becomes part of a growing movement for representation, understanding and equality across identities and experiences. Their love speaks to something much larger - the emerging chorus of voices rising in solidarity against prejudices that have long marginalized LGBTQ+ narratives and relationships.
Отлично сказано и очень подробно. Но я думаю это не только про LGBTQ а про любовь в целом. Hua Cheng и Xie Lian родственные души и они показывают нам, что нужно любить человека независимо от предрассудков.
