In The Hidden Corner, Lao Chen, also known as Chen Guansheng's ending died.
In the drama, Yan Liang thought Pupu was dead and threw three hundred thousand dollars in cash into Lao Chen's yard and left a note before seeking revenge on Zhang Dongsheng. Later, while fighting with Zhang Dongsheng on the boat, Yanliang accidentally hanged on the boat, but at this time Zhu Chaoyang did not save him, and found out later that it was Lao Chen who saved him.
Lao Chen was stabbed by a glass bottle and struggled to go to the bathroom. In the end, when Lao Chen followed the police to the boat, his gait was unsteady and he was covering his abdomen. But when Lao Chen fished Yan Liang out of the water later, he seemed to be in good health, which doesn't make much sense here. And if Yan Liang is dead, it doesn't make sense for Yan Liang to have a conversation with the square-dancing Lao Chen at the end.?
At the end of the finale, Old Chen and Yan Liang are frighteningly white, and the two of them sit on the steps talking about what they wished for in life. The real cause of Yan Liang's death should have been death by falling into the water, while Lao Chen should have died of an old infection that came back to save Yan Liang.?
The original author of "Hidden Corners" also said on Weibo that some people did die at the end, but the ending was made warmer for the sake of smooth airing.
