All of the principal characters in Man’s Fate are “terrorists.” What distinguish each character is their level of participation and commitment during the revolution. Ch’en, emotionally and philosophically isolated, operates at the organization’s periphery, categorizing him as an assassin rather than a terrorist. A terrorist, typically, is united by similar ideological beliefs and course of action. Marital, familial, and emotional ties are de-layered by the failures of the revolution, and acts of heroism and sacrifice are the bi-products of regrets, self-interests, and more importantly, Ch’en’s unselfish and ultimate sacrifice: his life.
