Spoilers, this show is based on a manga about a half-Uyghur and half-Han rebel princess who eventually puts aside her vengeance against Tang dynasty for killing her whole family to preserve harmony in the land.

When I first watched Ang Lee's "Hero", I was horrified by the ending, and my mom explained to me that "peace for the people" is more important and I wish grownup me can go back in time and argue that "harmony" and war is not a zero sum game.

I reject all harmony propaganda.

I’m so so sorry for smearing Ang Lee like this, “Hero” was directed by Zhang Yimou
