One of my favourite things about Li Lianhua's character has to be his sword dancing. First off, I love how it looks. It's so fluid and elegant, but also kind of untamed, so it's really entrancing to watch. But mostly, I love how Li Lianhua seems to process his emotions through dancing. He dances when he feels overwhelmed with grief, with betrayal, with anger, but he also (as we've seen in the past with Li Xiangyi) dances when he's at his happiest.
When you think about it like that, it hurts even more that he destroyed Shaoshi. He's throwing away one of the only outlets he's ever had.
