Did Zhuang die at the gate of rebirth?

Zhuang shouldn't die at the gate of rebirth.

Zhuang Wenjie received a short message from a stranger at the finale of The Gate of Rebirth, which read: "Congratulations, because you insisted, you did it."

Many people speculate that this message may be sent by Zhuang, because Zhuang once said to Zhuang, "As long as you insist, you can do it." At this time, someone will ask: "Isn't Zhuang's father Zhuang dead?" In fact, the finale only shows the cause and effect of Zhuang's murder, but it does not directly show that he is dead.

The sequel will definitely be linked with the first "Gate of Rebirth". Since the finale has paved the way, and it is likely to be Zhuang, then the next step should be around Zhuang.

The Gate of Rebirth uses the "two heroes", so the sequel will continue this tradition, so the next "two heroes" is likely to be Hezhuang. If so, the sequel "The Road to Rebirth" will be a collaboration between Zhang Yi and Pan Yueming, which will make the audience's expectations soar again.
