Si Tsai is a doctor in the Kowloon Walled City, facing lung cancer from a tornado. He repeatedly persuaded Tornado to go to the hospital for Western medical treatment. But each time, Tornado steadfastly refused. There are 4 reasons why tornadoes don't go to the doctor:
1. Tornado is the patron saint of the Kowloon Walled City.
In the Kowloon Walled City, a tornado is the strong wall that guards the peace and order here. Under the threat of Lei Zhendong, he stepped forward and defeated the enemies one by one. After Di Qiu took over the Kowloon Walled City, he relied on the power of the tornado, allowing him to sit here and shock the Quartet. As long as there is a tornado, those forces that covet the Kowloon Walled City will not dare to act rashly. They were afraid of the tornado's mighty force, and even more afraid of the consequences of angering the charlatan. Therefore, as long as the tornado leaves the Kowloon Walled City, those forces that are secretly peeping will take advantage of the opportunity to move, and the peace of the walled city will no longer exist.
2. Tornado has a deep affection for the Kowloon Walled City.
The Kowloon Walled City carries too many memories and experiences of tornadoes. Here he fought alongside Chen Zhan for control of the walled city; He also fought bloody battles here for Di Qiu's status in the rivers and lakes. The Kowloon Walled City is his hometown and a part of his life. He was reluctant to leave. He is willing to defend this land with his life until the last moment.
He was afraid that once he left the land for treatment, he might never come back. This deep attachment made him choose to give up treatment when he learned that he was terminally ill.
3. The fatalism of tornadoes.
The sigh of "heaven is destined" reveals the helplessness and sadness in the heart of the tornado. In the first half of the tornado's life, he was shrouded in the shadow of his brother Chen Zhan, and in order to help Di Qiu, he even killed Chen Zhan with his own hands. And in order to help Chen Zhan's last wish, he secretly sent Chen Zhan's wife and children out of Hong Kong without Di Qiu.
And in the second half of his life, he was bound by Di Qiu's fate.
A fight when he was young caused Tornado to lose his best brother, and this guilt and remorse became a heavy shackle in his heart. Perhaps, deep down in his heart, he has long been tired of this bound life, and he may not want to live for a long time.
4. Tornadoes are a deterrent inside and outside the walled city
In the seemingly peaceful land of the Kowloon Walled City, there is actually an undercurrent. However, it is precisely because of the tornado that the peace and order can be maintained here. Tornado uses his majesty and power to deter those with bad intentions. Under his protection, the inhabitants of the walled city were able to live and work in peace and enjoy rare peace.
Inside the walled city, he upholds justice and principles. If it's a trivial matter, he can ignore it; For example, a dusty girl was killed by her husband, he didn't make a move, and the four young people in the walled city beat the man down, and he didn't blame the four young people in the walled city. Later, he also joked to Chen Luojun that if there is such a situation in the future, he must let himself participate.
But on matters of principle, he will never show mercy. This iron-faced and selfless attitude allowed Tornado to win great prestige and respect within the walled city.
As for his terminal illness, Tornado also knew that once this news leaked out, his majesty and status in the Kowloon Walled City would be gone. Those who once feared him will be ready to move, and the peace of the Kowloon Walled City will be shattered. Therefore, he chose to conceal his illness and stick to the Kowloon Walled City.
For tornadoes, the hospital is not a place where you can recuperate with peace of mind. There are unknowns and dangers there. Moreover, once he goes to the hospital for treatment, it will be an opportunity for his enemies to take advantage of it.
Therefore, Tornado resolutely refused to go to the hospital for treatment, let alone allow anyone to disclose his condition.
That's why Tornado refused to go to the hospital for treatment. He is a strong and stubborn man who guards the Kowloon Walled City and his past in his own way. Despite Tornado's terminal illness, he stayed there and used his presence to tell everyone that the Kowloon Walled City was his hometown and the most important place in his life.
In Tornado's heart, the Kowloon Walled City has long become his roots and his soul. He is like the older generation who stick to their hometown, even at the end of their lives, they hope to return to their roots in this familiar land.
It is this deep affection for the Kowloon Walled City, as well as his righteousness and responsibility to his brothers, that made Tornado a flesh-and-blood and admirable figure. Louis Koo's delicate performance injects soul and vitality into this character, making it impossible not to dislike this tenacious and affectionate guardian.
Tornado is a figure full of legends. He dedicated his life to the Kowloon Walled City, guarding this land and the people here with his actions. His story is full of tragedy, hardship and struggle, but also full of emotion and righteousness. He is a flesh-and-blood character who is both admirable and distressing.
