Ah Gui and Xie Xing are cousins, the two look alike, after the death of his father Thayer Ma Yin has been angry about trying to find Xie Xing. Ah Gui was a well-known "brother", Ma Yin's bodyguard, and an important figure within the group.
A very important reason why Xie Xing was selected by Zhang Boming to participate in his mission was that he valued the blood bond between Jie Xing and Ah Gui, which was also the basis for the two sides to build trust when they first met.

01
12 years of life
Xie Xing let Ah Gui live in his own name, so was Ah Gui impersonating his identity? Not necessarily, the first task to be solved is to "explore the Li Dezhu" to plot against Ah Gui to serve our side.
Secondly, Xie Xing let Ah Gui live in his own name in the hope that he could live a quiet and good life, and did not want him to be blinded by hatred, which was the real sacrifice and trade-off.
Finally, after the mission was over, Xie Xing returned with honors, and the painter had made many meritorious achievements, and Zhang Boming believed that even if the events of that year were explained clearly, no one would have any criticism of the treatment of Ah Gui and Xie Xing.
At this time, only two people knew ah gui's identity, Zhang Boming and Hu Liang'an, and Zhang Boming died unexpectedly at such a critical moment, which gave Wu Yan a fatal blow.
Then Lin Zhong targeted Xie Xing everywhere, insisting that the pressure on Zhang Boming was too great, and forcing him everywhere led to Zhang Boming's accident, while another insider, Hu Liangan, suffered a stroke two years ago.
02
Lin Zhong discovered Xie Qianshan, another identity of the painter
Ah Gui believes that Zhang Boming is derelict in his duties, and Zhang Boming finds clues after denying it, suspecting that Zhang Zhixing is the initiator of the tragedy of the Hongshan Execution House.
In order to protect Ah Gui, Zhang Boming plans to temporarily hide the name Xie Qianshan, and then confront Zhang Zhixing face to face, and Zhang Boming, the tiger poison inedible son, did not expect that he would die at the hands of his own father. When Zhang Zhixing exposed Ah Gui's identity on the rooftop, he revealed that Zhang Boming had not forgotten to defend Wu Yan before his death.
15 days after Zhang Boming left, Lin Zhong discovered the name "Xie Qianshan", and Lin Zhong deduced the truth of the matter.
After Lin Zhong discovered the truth, his attitude took a 180-degree turn, not only booing Han and asking for warmth, but also considering and planning for his future future. Wu Yan did not appreciate it and wanted to make a living by punching, and this negative attitude made Lin Yan angrily ask him, "You have been like this all your life, and you never want to restore your real name and identity, do you?" ”
03
Lin Zhong has repeatedly tried to resolve the contradictions between the two sides
In the comic "Swallow the Sea", when Wu Yan incarnated as Jinhai Yumian Xiao Yan Luo punched, Lin Yan watched from the stage, Lin Yan wanted to protect Wu Yan, but at this time, Wu Yan's heart knot had not yet dissolved, and he regarded himself as a lone hero, so he did not appreciate it.
After Wu Yan was injured, Lin Yan tried again to resolve the contradiction between the two, at this time Bu Chonghua heard that someone had visited Wu Yan and quietly came to the ward, he was also very curious about Wu Yan's origin and background.
Wu Yan's extraordinary talent played a role at this time, he immediately heard that there was an abnormality outside the door, when Lin Yan heard Wu Yan questioning "who" outside the door, pay attention to this detail, Lin Yan was standing next to Wu Yan with a protective posture.
04
The painter is right-named
Under the struggle of Lin Zhao and Feng Ting, Wu Yan relied on his own strength to obtain a justified identity. Wu Yan felt that this was what he deserved, at least his years of grievances were finally resolved in half, but Lin Yan said that this was earned by yourself, thank you two words needless to say, but Wu Yan originally did not intend to say it.
05
After-effects
What makes people feel most deeply in "Swallowing the Sea" is Wu Yan's inner inferiority, wanting to remove all disguises, but unable to do anything. On the surface, Wu Yan did not care about his future and safety, and has always passively accepted help and protection.
In fact, Wu Yan's attitude stems from his extreme insecurity, and when he is seriously injured and admitted to the ICU, he will repeatedly wake up to confirm that he is in a safe environment before sleeping peacefully.
The people around Wu Yan treated him very kindly, but no one except Jiang Shu did not trust him, and it was necessary to repeatedly confirm whether this person was reliable, especially Lin Zhao.
People can't be depressed because of inferiority, only the strong will turn against the wind, of course, Wu Yan's cautious and harsh attitude is also the reason why he can retire as a "painter".
Wu Yan, Xie Xing, Ah Gui, Xie Qianshan, each of your names is the saddest poem I have ever seen.
