Recently, the domestic cartoon Nezha 2 has become a hit, with global box office revenue of 14.1 billion dollars, ranking seventh in the world in terms of ticket sales. As a friend who loves China and Hong Kong, of course I have taken a sneak peek.
But the story content of Nezha 2 is completely different from the traditional Nezha story. Basically, movies have nothing to do with Chinese culture.
Everyone is familiar with the traditional Nezha story. Among them, the most popular one is the section of Nezha's entrustment to the world. The content is: Nezha drew the Dragon King's crown prince's dragon root, and the Dragon King sent an army to investigate. In order to avoid hurting his parents and people, Nezha destroyed his life (returning the bones to his father and the flesh to his mother), leaving only his soul separated from his body. Later, with the help of his master Taiyi Zhenren, he transformed into a human form with a lotus flower. His soul was entrusted on the lotus flower, and he was reborn again and became an immortal immortal. Since he is already the incarnation of a lotus flower and is not Nezha's true body, the Dragon King has no way of pursuing him.
In fact, this is a "family trust" arrangement. The soul is the asset, the account in your own name is the body, and the family trust is the lotus incarnation. When danger comes, the body has to give up. If the soul only lives on the body, it will be destroyed together. But if you place your assets (soul) on a trust (lotus incarnation), when risks come, the assets will not be challenged and can be preserved for a long time (become an immortal). It can be seen that the concept of trust has a history of more than 2,000 years in China, but the world only looks at the superficial story and ignores the true meaning.
Nowadays, assets face more risks, and it is more necessary to use trusts as risk management tools (to avoid bankruptcy risks, marriage risks, legal risks) and as inheritance tools (to avoid property disputes, inheritance taxes, frozen assets, etc.). Trusts are a useful hedging and inheritance tool. If you want to learn more about trusts, you can attend the family trust seminars held monthly by CCKT family Office or contact us.
