"Tomb Raiders: The God Tree of Qinling" records a story: a stone cave hidden under the ancient tomb of Qinling, there is a huge bronze tree in the hole, which has the power to control the subconscious mind and make the ideas in the mind come true. The man trapped in the cave struggled for four months. When he was desperate, he held his breath and concentrated on forming another self who had walked out of the cave. He didn't expect that he would succeed, and when he opened his eyes, he was already standing outside the cave.

Looking at the man under the cave, he refused to believe that he had copied himself. He felt that the original self in the cave was a monster, so no matter how noisy the people in the cave were, he took explosives and blasted the entrance of the cave flat. Killed myself.

In 2008, Spain had a small-cost science fiction thriller "Time and Space Crime", which also told a similar story. A man accidentally traveled through time and copied another self. He thought that he would truly exist by eliminating the original person, but he did not expect that he would be the third person copied by the second person for existence. In order to survive, he had to help the first person to complete the second copy of himself, because only if the second person was copied, he would appear as copy person 3.

The story seems a bit complicated, but in fact, like the man in "Qinling Sacred Tree", in order to live magnificently, he can only kill himself.

"Doodlebug" Antworm, a three-minute short film made in 2007 for "Film 16-British Film Master Short Film Collection". The story tells that a man in the room is catching a bug, only to find that the bug is himself after catching it. And another person is catching himself behind him. Suddenly confused.

The former Zhuang Zhoumeng was a butterfly, and it was also a butterfly.
Self-proclaimed and suitable! I don't know Zhou Ye. Suddenly, I felt awkward.
I wonder if Zhou’s Dream is a butterfly and? Is the dream of the butterfly Zhou Yu?
Zhou and Butterfly must have a difference. This is called materialization.

Zhuangzi went to bed one day, dreaming that he became a butterfly dancing, happy and contented. After waking up from the dream, he found that he was still Zhuangzi. For a time, he was surprised. I don't know if Zhuang Zhou dreamed of butterflies, or the butterfly dreamed of becoming Zhuang Zhou.

"Doodlebug" resembles Zhuang Zhou's Mengdie in terms of expression. Illusion and reality, sobriety and chaos. As the saying goes, the parties involved are fans, and the bystanders are clear. Often it's the person himself who is stuck. It's just that there is no idleness of Zhuang Zhou's Mengdie, and more brutality. People say that after the praying mantis catches the cicada and the oriole, that person may be the one who eliminated it in the end. And who is he hiding behind him?
