The cuckolded banker Andy (the actor in the movie "The Shawshank Redemption") was so angry that he wanted to kill the adulterer and adulterer with a gun.

However, rationality told Andy to put down his pistol. It was not worth losing himself to this adulterer and adulterer.

But Andy is really sad, what should I do?

He could only drink in the car to numb himself.

Unexpectedly, when Andy woke up, what was waiting for him was the police arrest.

It turned out that the adulterer and adulterer had been killed, and Andy was regarded as the murderer, because the gun that shot the adulterer and adulterer was Andy's gun, and only his fingerprints were on the gun.

Although Andy did not kill anyone, he had no evidence to prove his innocence. As a result, he was sentenced to life imprisonment and could only go to Shawshank Prison unjustly.

If you were Andy, you would definitely feel that life is very hopeless.

Don't worry, after entering prison, there will be even more despair.

In addition to the imaginable prison humiliation and being beaten into pig heads, there was another thing that made Andy feel that life was full of despair.

A young prisoner, after entering Shawshank Prison, told Andy who the real murderer of his wife was.

Andy saw the hope of reversing the case and made a request to Warden Norton to reopen the case.

Unexpectedly, in addition to being rejected, he was also put into solitary confinement in a small dark room for two months.

In order to prevent Andy from being released, the warden also designed to kill the young prisoner.

Why did the warden do this?

Because he was using Andy to launder money for himself, and of course he would not let Andy out.

If you were Andy, you would definitely feel that life is full of despair, and what hope is there in life?

But, for Andy, despair is hope.

Despair can overwhelm more than 99% of people, but it cannot overwhelm those with the holy light above their heads.

And Andy is that kind of person.

In fact, he has been planning an escape since he was wrongly imprisoned.

Andy got a small pickaxe by trading with Red, an authority figure among the prisoners.

He also obtained a poster of movie star Rita Hayworth and put it on the wall of his cell.

It took Andy 20 years to finally dig a tunnel behind the poster, which could lead to the sewer pipe.

After the tunnel was dug, on a stormy night with lightning and thunder, Andy successfully escaped from prison with evidence of the warden's corruption.

Every time the thunder sounded, he hit the cesspool with a stone.

Soon the excrement water spurted out, and Andy got into the smelly excrement pipe and crawled in the direction of the discharge.

The length of this waste pipe is as long as five football fields.

While crawling through the cesspool, Andy felt so sick that he almost vomited several times.

But nothing can stop him on his way to freedom.

After passing through the dark sewer pipe, Andy finally saw the light again.

He asked someone to send evidence of warden Norton's corruption. Norton, who had always been arrogant and domineering, was finally dealt with.

This proves that "evil people will eventually be punished", which is really satisfying.

And kind people will not have bad luck, just like Andy.

As the last sentence of "The Count of Monte Cristo" writes, all human wisdom is contained in two words: "hope" and "wait."

Andy is always in desperate situations, but he always survives. He relies on "hope" and "waiting".

Holding on to "hope" helps him possess immense power and do everything possible to defeat all enemies on his way forward.
