It is. From wikipedia: The effect is achieved by zooming a zoom lens to adjust the angle of view (often referred to as field of view, or FOV) while the camera dollies (moves) toward or away from the subject in such a way as to keep the subject the same size in the frame throughout. [...] Thus, during the zoom, there is a continuous perspective distortion, the most directly noticeable feature being that the background appears to change size relative to the subject.

Thank you, I learned something new! :D

It partly depends on what Ya Qing means by revivification. Any idea on that?

I think she mainly means not being pushed further and further back and having to hide as humans spread out more and more and claim all the land?

But one strategy could be to gather the Hallows herself with the intention of using them to build an alliance with Dixing (or with the highest bidder?).

Oh, that's a cool idea, I can see where that could go! *ponders*

(If it's not weird, why did you highlight it? Just as a point of interest?)

I may be wrong, but I feel like calling himself Lao-Chu means he thinks of himself in relation to the people who call him that, i.e. the SID - as part of that group. Just the Chu Shuzhi outsider-to-part-of-the-family trajectory, you know?

Oh! I just realised his robes must have some special element, because it's shocking to Chu Shuzhi that they're damaged by the explosion at the end of episode 4. Chu Shuzhi reacts as if it's the Envoy who's been hurt there, not just his robes, I think?

Oooh, good thinking! At the very least it implies that the Envoy's self-defences should cover his clothes as well. (I always thought Chu Shuzhi assumed that if something could get through far enough to harm the robe, it would also be far enough to injure the Envoy himself.)
