Question: objects Shen Wei's office

[china_shop]

Anyone have a theory about who the bust in the corner is of?

Also, I just noticed there's a bookshelf built into the front of the desk -- that's so cool!

There's also a fishtank, out of sight behind ZYL in this shot. Are they Shen Wei's fish? Did they come with the office??

Maybe they're Yashou!

(Every time I watch the scene where he's healing himself in ep 2, and the camera pulls back to reveal the fishtank, I think, "Ohhh, the fish are watching! They know everything!" and then start wondering about Fish Yashou.)

.....would read.

There must be so many Yashou we never saw, though! I mean, the Crow, Flower, and Snack tribes(sorry, couldn't resist)- but then Da Qing and his girlfriend don't hang around as a tribe, and there must be loads of others, especially with how diverse the Dixing powers are.

...maybe the Fish Yashou had a booth at the invisible flea market.

LOL!

*tries to decide whether said booth would be located in a pond or not*

The All-Knowing Fish YASHOU

UNQUESTIONABLY!

One day ZYL will find out and headdesk forever that he didn't just call them in as witnesses. *g*

He's a professor of bioengineering/genetics, right? Obviously those fish are what he does genetics research on! He does fish genetics and then the ones that get to retire go to the fishtank in his office.

Ha! Retiree goldfish. I hope the genetic experiments are about extending lifespans. (Oh, hey, they could totally be! I mean, what semi-immortal in love with a mortal hasn't wanted to fix that? :-)

[extrapenguin]

Well, the elixir of youth is always something popular with funding agencies! My personal headcanon is that Shen Wei's genetics research is something unrelated to Dixing, Zhao Yunlan, or the like. Though the book we see him own at home – Mapping the Human Genome – would imply that he's at least somewhat dabbling/keeping up with human genetics, and might've sequenced some Dixingian genomes on the sly.
