John young, Qi Zhansheng and Wang Xiaobing are three brothers who grew up together in a big yard. Out of tune, Qi overcame his extraordinary performance and was admitted to a famous university. John young, who has always been the principal of a primary school, dropped out of Sun Shan, and Wang Xiaobing, who wanted to be admitted to the university most, also dropped out of school early because his father died in an industrial accident.
The play interprets three stories of * * * growing up together after 70' s, looking for dignity to protect family, friendship and love in the process of being lost and sinking. The story is tortuous, but the drama makes me think deeply about the bottom line of being a man.
Let's start with john young. After John Yang failed in the college entrance examination, he mistakenly became a model in Yanbei. After being packaged, john young lost her tenderness, and the advantages of being tall and handsome were highlighted. Soon, she emerged in this small town of Yanbei.
Excellent john young was soon attracted by a beautiful rich woman. Her name is Cai Mei, and she is several years older than john young. Her husband died in Hong Kong, and she runs her own business, because in the eyes of the secular, she is a notorious woman.
She tried to please and help john young, hoping to get some response from john young. As long as john young nodded, he could get an enviable luxury life. Because she always goes to john young, it is said that john young fell in love with a rich woman.
However, john young remained unmoved and made it clear that his contacts with Cai Mei were limited to work. After a period of contact, Cai Mei learned about john young's character and knew that what she expected would never be possible. She turned her love for john young into admiration, helped john young in her work, and encouraged Yang Fan to maintain his self-esteem and not be overwhelmed by the big dye vat of society.
In john young's view, Cai Mei is not only a wealthy businessman, but also a person with rich life experience and social experience. These are just what Yang Fan, who just entered the society, lacks, while Cai Mei generously gives advice. Therefore, despite the gossip, john young forged an unusual feeling with Cai Mei, but this feeling was not doped with impurities, but just a kind of gratitude.
Later, john young and the three of them went to Shenzhen for development when they were young. Wang Xiaobing was cheated of 3 million yuan and took the blame. If he didn't get the money, he would go to jail. In order to save Batman, john young risked being misunderstood by his girlfriend Tan Yin Fei and returned to Yanbei to borrow 3 million yuan from Cai Mei. This 3 million was no less than astronomical figures in the 1990s, which solved Batman's urgent need.
Later, after someone took over the property, the funds gradually returned. John Yang Heqi was defeated and decided to pay back Chua Mei-er's money first, but blinded by money, he wanted to continue to borrow chickens and lay eggs. The three men had a big fight and broke up in discord. Finally, Qi defeated and gave john young the money that should be returned to Cai Mei.
John young, Shengli and Xiao Bing parted ways in their careers, and had no common goal, no common goal. Xiao Bing went his own way and privately invested in the partner's deposit of 3 million. No matter what the result is, the three people are drifting away because of different bottom lines.
John young went to find Cai Mei to pay back the money. Knowing that Cai Mei had pancreatic cancer, he decided to accompany Cai Mei through her last days regardless of gossip.
Among the three points related to Cai Mei, John Yang's image is particularly good.
First, he didn't accept Cai Mei's pursuit because he had no money. He didn't choose to be a gigolo, but chose to be self-reliant. Second, we stand firm on the issue of repaying money and are grateful for Cai Mei's help. Therefore, when he has the ability to pay back Cai Mei, he will not hesitate, and will not spend others' goodness indefinitely because of others' goodness. Thirdly, in the last stage of Cai Mei's life, he felt Cai Mei's kindness to him and stepped forward to accompany Cai Mei through the last life.
John young is an affectionate and honest man. He doesn't betray himself, he works hard when he should, and he doesn't take the so-called shortcut. He is honest with his friends. When Wang Xiaobing was cheated, he neither stood by and disagreed with Wang Xiaobing's idea of borrowing money to make money. He acts according to the principle, never delays when it is time to pay back the money, and never turns his face when it is time to pay back.
John young's behavior well explains the word "bottom line", which is precious in his eyes.
Secondly, talk about a win-win situation. Qi Zhansheng is a quick-thinking and far-sighted person. Qi Zhansheng had a secret love story. That man is Wen, his persistent high school classmate. Later, he changed his name to Wenhua and became Wendong. The reunion of the two in Shenzhen surprised Qi Zhansheng. What's more, Guan Dahong, a classmate, has been allied since high school and lost.
It seems that Guan Dahong can never replace Wen, let alone Wen's appreciation of alignment and victory.
In the face of Wen, who has been secretly in love for many years, Qi Zhansheng is still humble, adhering to principles and keeping his initial heart is particularly difficult. In business, the profit-seeking nature of literary businessmen enabled Qi to overcome his disgust, not to mention taking aboveboard measures.
Qi Zhansheng finally gave up his attachment to Wen in the constant suicide of his feelings for Wen. He knew that what he was attached to was only the text of that year. Nowadays, Wen has changed so much that he can't agree with her way of doing things and principles. Qi defeated Guan Dahong and finally chose Guan Dahong, because he and Da Hong had a common bottom line to abide by.
Even the stubborn article failed to make Qi overcome compromise and concession, but Qi overcame his own way of dealing with people. How can he not be a winner in life?
Finally, talk about Wang Xiaobing. Wang Xiaobing was unlucky, his sister's parents died young, his first girlfriend married someone else, and he was laid off again. The lack of affection and love makes him have no spiritual support, and only by constantly making money to support himself can he feel at ease.
After arriving in Shenzhen, the simple soldier was constantly cheated and beaten, and the ups and downs made him have an unusual desire for money. Therefore, Wang Xiaobing failed to misappropriate the three million yuan that should have been returned to Cai Mei, and misappropriated the partner's deposit without permission.
Money has lost the mind and direction of soldiers. He forgot that Cai Mei's money was used to fill his hole, not to make a profit. He forgot that Han Dong participated in this project to help them get out of trouble, and he forgot how precious this honesty is and should not be destroyed.
John Yang's persuasion and Qi's fists failed to wake him up, and he finally woke up until the consequences of his work were highlighted and proved that he had made a big mistake.
It's good when you get lost. There are always some people who have to go through many hardships before they can make correct choices and judgments.
But in retrospect, why do different people pay such different prices in the face of choices?
It is nothing more than whether the choice comes from the heart and whether it is interfered by other factors. We often say that we should not forget our initial heart, so that we can achieve our ultimate goal, but forget that the next sentence is that initial heart is easy to get, but it is always difficult to find.
Dong Qing has a saying in The Scholar: The initial heart is often simple and simple at the beginning, but it will grow slowly, just like a seed can grow into a towering tree, it seems to stand at a zero starting point and slowly stretch into a long, long road. In the end, we will find that the so-called initial heart is the heart closest to our initial heart among all wishes, vows and dreams.
Indeed, no matter how complicated the world is, you should always stick to your own principles and beliefs, not be eager for quick success, not grandiose and frivolous, and do something to keep the bottom line.
Where is the bottom line? Must be above the initial heart.
