Mimi is alive its curently still quite young, it was Snowmoon who died long ago. Jing yuan prolly rescued Mimi from the merchant because he reminded him of Snowmoon.
@@Hojosa From what I experienced the npc talked about Snowmoon like it was an ancient tale and the notes about Mimi from Jing Yuan read like recent diary entries, otherwise why would they currently be at his desk.
@@AkyXf I think Jing Yuan is immortal while the npc, who I assume is a beast person, only live for 300 years. So while the npc is telling an old tale that occurred before they were born, to Jing Yuan it only felt like yesterday, which explains why they tell the same story in such a specific way.
I bet this story was inspired by the Japanese shiba that waited at the train station for their owner, but the guy wner never came back. But the dog stayed there till the day he died, and I think there’s a statue of that dog there now
Yes it's him and they put a statue to remember Hachiko loyalty and I think it's near the station that Hachiko also waited it's so sad everytime I hear the story
They are right ... being immortal is not a good thing, rather it is a curse. I myself can't imagine, leaving hometown for 300 years and then coming back to find all our old friends gone 😢
Immortality is indeed a curse. Whatever fools or ignorants say, no good will come out of it if you live for centuries, millennia, or even long enough to see continents merge and entire species going extinct. We came from dust, and to dust we will return one day.
I haven't seen the Chinese text for this one, but Mimi (咪咪), is chinese for kitten, or how they would call a cat (like pstpstpst, or here kitty, kitty, kitty). This also shows how terrible he is at naming. Calling kitten as Kitten 😂
When you ask the lady if the story is real she said she told her nephew/niece (?) that story and they seem intrigued, and then we proceed to ask if she just made it up since she cannot point out which stone lion is made in honor of Snowmoon, and she dodged the question. Plus, the general’s diary talk about how Jing Yuan’s lion’s name used to be Mimi but changed to Wave-Treading Snow Lion after he found out it’s a lion, not Snowmoon. Which means... there is a high chance this sob story is entirely made up by Qingzu, and his lion is very much alive....
@@chromatideSnowmoon is what the lion in the story told by Qingzu is called. In the general’s diary, it seems that Jing Yuan doesn’t know what a lion cub looks like so he got tricked into buying a lion cub instead of a rare species cub, which means Mimi, or “Wave-treading Snow Lion” is his first lion. And judging by how Qingzu only ever mention one lion pet at the seat of divine foresight I assume Jing Yuan only ever have 1 pet lion. And the name from Qingzu’s story and the general’s diary don’t match, along with Qingzu’s uncertainly regarding her story, I can only assume that she made up the story to tell her relative’s kid, and Jing Yuan’s lion is alive and well
I actually haven't found this in the game yet myself, but yesterday I read a twitter thread about Jing Yuan's lion and some people there also perceived it as two separate lions as well-he got a new lion after Snowmoon's passed away. So I guess there's two possibilities here
apparently jing yuan's eng va stated on twitter that they're the same lion, but he also seemed kinda unsure himself so take with a grain of salt ig (i'd link to it but yt seems to not like that, i just found it by searching snowmoon mimi or something like that)
Facts: in Chinese culture, Stone Lions act as Gate Guardians to sacred places. Their goal is to vanquish evil spirits and intimidate so they won't come close.
I'm tearing up right now but Snowmoon/Mimi is such a wonderful pet to own. Waiting 300 years for its owner is already extremely long but I can imagine Jing Yuan fighting so hard to be able to win and return to Snowmoon once again. Imagine your pet dying in your arms just as you return seeing it all grown up though😭😭
Fun fact but you can also see ok his character design that he has a string with white hair attached at the end.. Some people say its a tuft if snowmoons hair to remember them always
Correct me of im wrong but Snowmoon and Mimi are two different lions arent they? Snowmoon was the one he met on a walk, while Mimi was the one he adopted from that cage and his current lion.
This is just like odysseus' dog argos. He died after seeing his master return from his 20 year journey. I know it also may be a Hachiko reference but in that case the owner never returned...
The lion in the story is not Mimi, in other languages trans the lion and Mimi have separate name and we can't be sure this story is real or not cause when we ask the lady is the story is real she said that the story she told to her nephew and they seem intrigued.
I still think Mimi was a better name. I mean, imagine invading the place (i forgot it's name) and then hearing Jing Yuan call "Mimi, fetch" and then a whole lion shows up 😭
Actually, he get scam by buying pet. Before his pet when young is a cat , but then , he realize that why my pet eat to much, and then his pet turn into lion, so he decide change mimi to ... Snowlion and snowmoon
I dont play HSR but came her bcs curiosity, and MY CHEST HURT AAAAAA SNOWMOON SJNSKAHSBSJAKJAKAKAKAKAKAKAOSH idk if i have to be grateful or regret it (knowing thisbstories)
That lion is a real guy surviving 300 years for Jing Yuan
must be a patient guy then

That is some Hachiko level loyalty right there.
I had the same thought exactly
*Cries*
I had the feeling that this is what it was based of
I am now sobbing. Thank you.
@@kaeyaalberich. Kaeya is crying......man, Snowmoon was truly an amazing companion.
His lion is in the same place as Kaeya's horse.

When i heard Snowmoon’s story I actually almost cried
Rest in peace Snowmoon❄️🌙

Hachiko?
Yes it's him and they put a statue to remember Hachiko loyalty and I think it's near the station that Hachiko also waited it's so sad everytime I hear the story
There's also Odysseus, whose dog waited until he returned so he could die in his human's arms. I think it's a combination
it's indeed Hachiko, cmiiw but it's like a very important symbol for the place in Japan. You can found it in Shibuya
really the story is from the story of argos (dog)
it’s in heaven
Someone need to upvote this it saved a lot of time
man...
It's in his memories.
Scattered in the wind
NOOOOOO 😭
3:52 That fr looks like a tear is dropping from the snowmoon statue and falling onto the mc's hand- bruh I can't- 😭😭😭
The notes in his office have talks about his lion Mimi! ❤
I was wondering for the longest time why they haven't used the lion at all in his kit... now that I know I'm even more sad
Poor Snowmoon
Such a loyal lion, waiting for his master for 300 years
i felt like Snowmoon was so much like Hatchiko but this time its a cat🐈
Aww, I didn't expect it to be this sad. That lion was one of the reason I picked Jing Yuan for my ticket and rolled for him 😞
I love how he had to keep his pet lion Snowmoon.
They are right ... being immortal is not a good thing, rather it is a curse.
I myself can't imagine, leaving hometown for 300 years and then coming back to find all our old friends gone 😢
Like Xiao said in Baizhu's story quest
just don't have friends noob. I would fucking break the immortality meta. ez game ez life
Nah, it depends for introverts that like to travel, that's a blessing, though the curse is you bored work to earn money to eat
For me, it would be both a blessing and a curse.
Even tho it has it's downside, i would still gladly become an immortal
Immortality is indeed a curse. Whatever fools or ignorants say, no good will come out of it if you live for centuries, millennia, or even long enough to see continents merge and entire species going extinct. We came from dust, and to dust we will return one day.

*Cries with Jing Yuan hugging Snowmoon*
snowmoon is such a great name "雪月"
Plot twist: Mihoyo were just lazy to make a model for the lion so they later made this up
Well its expensive to make and useless as people wont pull a mere lion
@@damianw5861 debatable, i would have pulled for jing yuan with the snow lion

*crying noises*
Welcome to another episode of "Wholesome and positive stories by Honkai"
NOOOOO I WAS ALSO WONDERING WHERE HIS LION IS NOW I DIDNT EXPECT THE STORY TO BE SAD 😭😭😭
Its neat. With so much reading material in the game, I mostly skipped reading them lol
Thanks for the video.
RIP Snowmoon 😢
Facts: in Chinese culture, Stone Lions act as Gate Guardians to sacred places. Their goal is to vanquish evil spirits and intimidate so they won't come close.
I've read the general diary but didn't thought it was the lion after all. I guess I read the diary too early to compare with Jing Yuan's splash art
There are 2 different lions. Snowmoon and Ware-treading Snow Lion (he call it Snow Lion for short) are 2 different names
Why does everything Jing yuan love die 😭
Yanqing is in danger 😰
@@sumiko_1384 more like Jing Yuan is in danger 💀

I came here out of curiosity and ended up in tears....
I dont know why i laughed at "where is Jing Yuan's lion" 💀💀
I came out of curiosity, only to be met with sadness.
"hsr is still new, theres no tragic story yet"
this video:
Wow holy shit, right from the start
Genshin and Honkai 3rd have some fukked up shit even before they were released
@@shanedoesyoutube8001 didnt know that
I found out about his lion while I was talking to Npcs but I never realize the lion decorations tho
Jing Yuan should have had the lion in his kit and be of the imaginary element (imagining the lion is still here, ya know).
This is so depressing as an animal lover. 😢 Rip Snowmoon ❤
Thanks for the lore!
Fun fact but you can also see ok his character design that he has a string with white hair attached at the end..
Some people say its a tuft if snowmoons hair to remember them always
Xianzhou: Any attempt at long live will be persecuted.
A snow lion: casually waits 300 years for his master to appear at the door.
To add to the phone case
The symbol on the case seems to be 冰 which means ice
Although if it its snow or moon then it should be 雪 or 月
Great video! My cat passed away in September. This hit hard
Correct me of im wrong but Snowmoon and Mimi are two different lions arent they? Snowmoon was the one he met on a walk, while Mimi was the one he adopted from that cage and his current lion.
NOOOO I WAS NOT PREPARED FOR HACHIKO LEVEL FEELSSSS.
Thus is the curse for immortality. Thank you for sharing this story.
that lion must have been no oridinary lion if it lived so long.
When you took a 6 year break from Minecraft leaving your dog in your old world:
NOOOO I CRIED PLEASE 😭😭 I was so curious where is this lion in JingYuan's splash art, turn out it already.... no please 😭😭
Snowmoon was majestic
dude i literally thought he just owned some random cat that we didnt see after reading that note but i didnt know it was his lion
Was not expecting to cry this morning
This is just like odysseus' dog argos. He died after seeing his master return from his 20 year journey.
I know it also may be a Hachiko reference but in that case the owner never returned...
Maybe his lion acts as limiter to his power, which he will kill when he decided to get serious and fight as a warrior.
Thou didst me good service, Snowmoon.
wait what?

Ay yo since when did Cy Yu became Godfrey???
@@nichoclause Elden Ring confusion
Reminded me of Neko in the cat's shrine in Inazuma. She is still waiting 😭
Damn that's sad. Wish we could've told her the truth
aww, the lion even got a personality of a house cat.
damn why, i'm crying so hard because i ever had a white cat and named it mimi too.. she died because of old age 😭😭😭😭
Mimi.... Snow moon... beautiful lion... WHY DID YOU DIE????😭
What.The.Fuck.
It's some FUTURAMA-level dark shit.
He has no enemies… But at what cost?
yeah he said all his friends are gone and all his enemies are dead... extremely sad ngl

Good question 😊
Great, now im crying
Oh I wanna cry now
