I accidentally saw someone mentioning the TV series "Relative Universe" in the circle of friends. I watched this series out of curiosity about the title. There are ten episodes in the first season. Yesterday, I finished watching the nine episodes that have already been released. . It's not that the story is particularly good-looking, so I couldn't help myself and had to read it, because I really couldn't understand it at the beginning, and it was only later that I realized what was going on.

The story tells that one day the world began to replicate, and all human and biological buildings were completely replicated. A channel was discovered in 1987, when the two worlds were the same.

People in both worlds have the same genes, childhood. The essence of human nature is the same, but the difference in some choices in life leads to different destiny. Two worlds that were originally the same are the same, and the changes have become more and more obvious as time goes on.

People from the two worlds coexist peacefully, establish diplomacy, and people from the two worlds can apply for official visas to travel.

Until 1996, there was a flu caused by pigs on the opposite side of universe B, which had a great impact on the entire B world, and 7% of the world's population died as a result. On the other hand, people in World A lived well and were not affected at all, and could still eat pork.

Some people in World B therefore resented World A, believing that the flu was deliberately created by people in World A and wanted to destroy World B. This group of people is called "radical agents", they have carefully designed a series of revenge plans, the purpose is to stimulate the war between the two worlds, and finally control the two worlds.

The "radical agent group" found a group of children into the school and trained them to become agents. Teach them the knowledge of the A world, and let them imitate the life of the one in the A world. Waiting for the right time, send it to world A to replace another self.

B world Claire (Claire B)'s parents were orphaned by the flu. She had a happy life and was very kind as a child. In order to increase the hatred of these young secret agents, the school attributed everything to the people in World A. The school robbed Claire of everything, including the boy she had a good time with. Claire A has both legs injured and Claire B also needs amputation. Every day, Claire B's task is to learn the life of another self (Claire A) in the world of A, the way of speaking, the look and so on...

Until Claire A's boyfriend (Pete) was about to become the head of the Strategy Department (the third floor of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs), the radical spy faction in world B felt that this was a good opportunity for Claire B to live in world A and find the right time to come replace another self. Before the wedding, Pete derailed and quarreled with Claire in the world of A. This was the opportunity for Claire B to replace him, otherwise it would be useless.

Claire B originally hired someone to kill herself in the world of A, but the killer failed, Claire A fled into the car, and Claire B had to deal with the other self by herself.

Seeing this, do I miss her heartache? When I saw another one being killed by myself, I really did it by strangling my neck with my hands. Perhaps it was the hatred of world B against world A and the organization behind Claire B that made her unable to choose. If the agent can live, it is of use value. If you don't do this, it will lose its use value. By then, it will not be Claire A's death, but herself.

Claire B replaced Claire A, reconciled with Pete, created a "happy" marriage, and gave birth to a baby son. Pete is the top leader of the third-tier strategy department, and Claire A's father is the Minister of Foreign Affairs. Claire B lurks beside Pete, gaining intelligence without Pete knowing it.

This is my incomplete spoiler by one line, after watching nine episodes, I just want to talk about another world and another you. We have no way of knowing which is the real world of reality, or maybe there is none.

We all know that cells can replicate automatically, and the technology of cloning has also emerged today. The world began to replicate automatically, and such a "magic" thing does not seem to be a special accident.

The first time I heard the word parallel time and space came from the movie "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years". In college, Ke Zhendong wanted to prove his masculinity to Shen Jiayi, so he participated in a boxing match, and he was beaten with bruises. Shen Jiayi felt distressed when she saw that, and called him a big idiot, and the two quarreled. Because of this, the two people missed the beautiful marriage, and the moment of missing is a lifetime regret.

During an earthquake, Ke Zhendong called Shen Jiayi. The two clearly loved each other, but pretended not to care. Looking at the sky full of galaxies, Ke Zhendong asked Shen Jiayi, "Do you believe in parallel time and space? Maybe we are together in that time and space" Shen Jiayi smiled and replied, "Thank you for liking me".

"In those years, the girl we chased together"





If so, what would happen to us in another world? What kind of life do they live, and how do they choose their own life? In many things, it seems that we have the right to choose, but it is very limited. We cannot choose our own genes, our own parents, our environment...

In my faith, I have always believed that everything is the best arrangement of God, and that God has long arranged for us to change the way we walk, the people we meet, and the things we achieve. The only choice we have is to follow God, believe in God, and thank God for the free will God has given us. Many of my friends are questioning my beliefs, maybe in their opinion, if this is really the case, there are too few things that human beings can do.

Yes, what can humans change? Even if we copy a brand new world and have a brand new life, we still cannot change the life we ​​have been given to us.

In the movie, Claire B says that when she first met Claire A, she had everything and was alone. As an agent, Claire B is lonely, and perhaps she has no choice as an orphan in that world. What a terrible and cruel thing to kill myself with my own hands, the same gene, the same memory.

People in the two worlds live two different lives, part of which is their own choice, and part of which is the helpless choice of the whole society.

Just as Ke Zhendong and Shen Jiayi can't be together in the real world, they hope in another parallel time and space, everyone can be brave together and live a happy life. In "Relative Universe", many people feel envious and jealous when they see another person himself. No matter what kind of life it is, there is no right or wrong. The self at that time and space, under that circumstance, has already made the best choice.

If there really is a parallel time and space, I would like to say to the other self in that world, live well and love well.
