From Sina:

It is a little over 1am in the morning, but I cannot sleep. I rarely am still on the internet at this time, but since I need to watch the Rockets and Lakers game in the morning, and I am already waiting, I might as well write something!!

For me and for all “Prison Break fans”, the 16th was special. Having bitterly followed over 4 years, “Prison Break” finally lowered its wonderful curtains. Now that I think about it, I am a little amazed that I actually followed a television drama for 4 years, yet perhaps this is the charm of American dramas!! In the scene where Sarah held her child, and Lincoln, Sucre, and Alex one by one walked past Michael’s gravestone, there truly was a kind of happy sadness!! Having watched 4 years of Prison Break, part of me feels unwilling to part with it, yet I have learned a lot of things.

Prison Break was a very popular American TV show for many Chinese people. When a new episode was shown, it was quickly subtitled by Chinese fans so fans in China could watch.

ibssb:

Everything is possible…this television drama was beyond the limits of imagination.

偷蜜的大熊:

As a person, definitely do not be too smart…or just be smart enough.

小hi:

Being able to breathe a breath of freedom is a very blessed thing!

地对地1:

Having used one year to completely watch this 4-year classic, I feel a little regret for not having followed Prison Break from the beginning! However, it must be said, every super fan does not regret it, because it is truly worth it, and we have benefited very much! Thank you… emoticons|E___7246ZH02SIB|美好~

After finishing  Prison Break, I came to understand one thing, which is to learn construction. emoticons|E___6010ZHPPSIB|暴力~

安静的肖申克:

Four years in a person’s life is not considered a brief period of time, and even less so for a performer/actor!

“Prison Break” not only had extensive scenes, thrilling plots, genuine emotions, I think the most important thing was having an actor like [Wentworth] Miller who silently struggled for ten years before becoming successful moving us. In our hearts, he had long ago already become more than just an idol’s image, and I think he has already become an embodiment of belief/faith/conviction to us.

清馨闲雅:

Typical American prison culture.
All the colored people are in prison.
Only white people can come and go.

海啸1:

A television drama that changed people’s outlook on life, a television drama that can be called a classic, a television drama worth collecting/keeping for the rest of one’s life.

粉面桃花彩妆馆:

Prison Break helped me look at this society in a new way, helped me learn how to face life.

jorsinbenz:

Not bad! A very good feeling!

This television drama helped me learn how to remain calm and to like thinking carefully when encountering a problem!

And also like clam-shell/flip mobile phones!

同步卫星:

I can only say that the ending was very hasty/rushed.
To the very end, I was guessing the ending, and in the end, it was truly as I guessed.
Prison Break’s appeal was in never allowing people to know what was going to happen in the next minute, but if you can guess it, then we can only say even the director is out of tricks.
But I won’t be too demanding, it has finally ended!

大大加内特【浴火凤凰】:

That moment was indeed very moving~!
[It made me] think back on each moment of seasons 1-4~!
[It made me] think back on each moment of my own past four years~!

乱的一塌糊涂:

I miss Michael, running for so long, paying so much,
finally making it so everyone can gain their freedom
but himself forever departing from those who love him. Enjoy eternal peace.
I can understand the ending.

纯情年代:

It should have ended with the first season, because that way it would have seemed more perfect!

aiyobu:

It should end, because if it doesn’t, who knows how fat Michael will become.

油绳麻花:

While watching it, I really wanted it to end, but after it ended, I felt as if something was missing.

哥哥用力:

I am a believer in pure alliances, so aside from Alex and the black guy becoming good, I cannot accept the rest, the ending was okay.

fjlinxiangde007:

The ending’s plot was too simple, no new concepts!
In the end Michael’s ending is a bit unexpected, maybe because there is a difference between domestic and foreign [audiences]! Foreigners can appreciate something different from the ideal [ending?], but we advocate reunion!

狂草XX:

No matter how it became towards the end, this was an American drama that was with me throughout university.
I will never have that feeling of [waiting for] an episode every week ever again.

风灵云飘:

Prison Break’s most awesome aspect was dead people being able to come back to life…so, I’m awaiting the fifth season, Michael returns!!!

聋锅:

Actually what disappointed me the most was not seeing T-bag abuse [rape] Sara.

海盗肖邦:

I did not miss a single season!!! Spent four years of my time!!! Much more worth it than all those trash shows from China Taiwan province!!!

sun945:

The ending’s background music
made me want to cry.

飞刀甩尾暴头:

A friend of mine said it well:
From the first season to the end, Lincoln risked death but did not die.
In the end, Michael died…this is life…

月夜清枫:

Prison Break ended today, and after watching it I felt a little strange. I now better understand to value the people I love…American dramas have also established an indispensible place in my heart.

Did you watch Prison Break? What did you think about the ending finale?

Also, some people say Wentworth Miller is gay. Is he gay?
