Just Looking ...

I remember a few years back there was a Chinese sitcom that aired. It takes place around the year 2000 and a man regrets losing his girlfriend/love of his life, who is now married to another man. He was offered a strange job from one of the richest men in Hong Kong. The job was to be sent back in time to take a photo of a famous war, which led to the rise of the Dragon Emperor in the Chin dynasty. The payment was supposed to be that he would get sent back in time before his girlfriend left him so that he could fix his mistakes. Sounds easy right? On the night of the time travel, the machine malfunctioned and he was sent several years back further then intended and his device to carry him back through the time warp was malfunctioning. Thus, he had to live there in ancient times. During his stay he encountered many odd and difficult events, and he became mixed up in royal feuds and in the end helped the Dragon Emperor rise to his throne. When he had the chance to travel through another time warp portal he decided to stay instead because he had fallen in love and decided to live out his life there. This turned out to be actually the way history was supposed to have been played out. The rich man had chosen him precisely because they had unearthed a statue from the Dragon Emperor’s tomb in his exact likeness. It was seen as written in fate that he was suppose to travel back in time to trigger the events and the rise of the Dragon Emperor, the burning of the scrolls and scholars (Chinese historical event) and in the end give birth to the man that would later on over throw the Chin Dynasty (fictional). Thus time travel was depicted as fate and that man cannot control time because it will ultimately fix itself. Time can be seen as a loop that is infinite and flexible ∞, and any changes made in time travel can be described as fate.
