The finale of the TV series "South to North" seems to be a kind of success in the eyes of the audience, but in fact it contains a deep tragic color. Each character's life experience and choices are like a mirror, reflecting the complexity of human nature and the helplessness of reality. 
The appearance of the role of Jia Jinlong adds a lot of suspense to the plot. His initial help made people mistakenly think that he was a businessman with affection and righteousness. But as the plot progresses, his true identity is gradually revealed. As the mastermind of the drug trafficking case, his crime is shocking. And his relationship with Yao Yuling is even more regrettable. If Jia Jinlong had been an innocent man, his life might have been different. But reality has no ifs, and his choices have led to his destruction and also brought harm to others. 
Ma Yan's story is a kind of hope in regret. She was smart and clever since she was a child, but she dropped out of school early due to family reasons and took on the burden of life. Although she didn't make it to university, her tenacity and ingenuity were reflected in the business world. Her experience tells us that there may be regrets in life, but as long as we don't give up, we can always find a way out of the predicament. 
Dr. Shen's romance is an important attraction in the play. At first, the audience thought that she belonged to her heart, and the old horse was her emotional home. However, as the plot deepens, the truth gradually emerges. Lao Ma's deep affection for Dr. Shen, his honesty and perseverance, are touching. But Dr. Shen chose to retreat because of the shadow of his family. Her departure not only made Lao Ma's emotions go down the drain, but also made the audience feel the impermanence of fate and the helplessness of life. Dr. Shen's story made us think about the impact of family on personal choices and how to stand up in the face of adversity. 
And the old blind man who repeatedly appears in the play is even more impressive. His daughter was abducted by traffickers and spent most of his life on the train in search of the truth. His story shows us the greatness of fatherly love and gives us a deeper understanding of the crime of child trafficking. However, his ending is full of regrets. He died without finding the traffickers or his children. Such an ending is undoubtedly an affirmation of his personality, and it is also a helpless sigh for fate. Every character, every story, tells a different face to life. The finale of "South to North" may be a kind of fulfillment in form, but it is full of regret emotionally. These regrets make us cherish every choice and encounter in reality even more. Because, life is like this, full of inability and impermanence. And it is these regrets and impermanence that make up our unique life. 
Every character in the play is facing the challenges of life in their own way. Their choices may be right and wrong, but they are all part of their lives. These choices allow us to see the brilliance of human nature, but also the darkness of human nature. But in any case, we cannot deny that they are trying their best to live and pursue their own happiness as best they can. The finale of "South to North" is not only the end of a story, but also a reflection on life. It makes us think about how to make the right choices in the face of adversity, how to find hope in regrets, and how to grasp the true meaning of life in impermanence. This drama is not only a suspense drama, but also a philosophical drama about life and choices. 
In general, although the finale of "South to North" seems to be a happy one, it is actually a life map full of regrets and helplessness. These regrets and helplessness make us understand the true meaning of life more deeply, and also make us cherish everything we have now. Because, in this uncertain world, all we can have is now.
