01. Lin Rilang in "Manslaughter 2"
As an emotional counselor, I have read too many letters from female readers, almost without exception are accusing middle-aged men of thin affection and widowhood, yes, in countless articles accusing scumbags, we have seen too many such men, thinking that most of the men in this world are greedy, ruthless, unashamed, no responsibility, but this is actually incomplete, just like you go to the hospital, you will see too many patients, you do emotional counselors, naturally you will see more scumbags, in fact, There are still many good men, just like Lin Zhilang in "Manslaughter 2".
Lin Rilang, played by Xiao Yang in the film, is an ordinary father, a last-rate screenwriter, and a man who can barely maintain the life of a family of three. There are too many ordinary men like this, as many as flying insects in the woods, small, unobtrusive, but they have always existed really, and such flying insects are also too weak, so weak that they are hit on the head by such a grain of ash as "major illness surgery fees", which is almost a disaster.
In the film, Lin Zhilang's son Xiao Worm is sick and can only rely on changing his heart to live. Fortunately, the time was not too long, and the worm waited for the heart donor to be successfully matched with him, unfortunately, Lin Zhilang and his wife could not scrape together the 2 million heart transplant despite exhaustion.
2 million is a ladder that makes the middle class into the poor, and it is also a pusher that makes the poor take a risk. For 2 million, Lin Richang did not hesitate to borrow usurious loans. As a grown man, doesn't he know what the consequences of borrowing a loan shark can't afford to pay it back? Of course he knew, but he really had no choice but to fight on his back.
But even so, the heart that should have belonged to the worm was still taken away by human life!
Therefore, Lin Rilang, who fought a battle against the water, became a hostage-taking murderer. Helplessly, he began to understand that when he followed the rules, ordinary people like them would be easily trampled by the evil people and evil forces like stepping on small insects, and only when he became an evil person and made everyone afraid of the evil person could he let others pay attention to it, let others be afraid, and save his son's life!
02. Parents lit up the initial glimmer for us
Is Lin Zhilang an evil person? Of course not. The first scene in the film is Lin Zhilang smoking in an alley before entering the hospital. The lighter in his hand lit, extinguished, lit again, extinguished again. He is contradictory, hesitating, because he is not an evil man. Before an ordinary person has to be an evil person, he will naturally hesitate and will not be able to bear it.
Will Lin Zhilang be afraid? Absolutely. When he first began taking hostages, the hand holding the gun trembled involuntarily. He is just an ordinary screenwriter, he has been writing other people's stories, but he never imagined that one day, he would have to become the protagonist of the story. How could he not be afraid when he himself had to become a robber?
However, as a father, he did not retreat, because if he took a step back, his son Worm would definitely lose his life. His madness, his recklessness, is just to give the worm a chance to grow up.
Thinking of the film, when the disaster had not yet come, the night when the whole family was camping, the son worm caught a few fireflies with a bottle, he asked his father Lin Rilang:
"Dad, why don't fireflies light up in the lights?"
Lin Zhilang said:
"Because their light is so weak that they can only be seen in dark places."
Yes, this light is too weak, but when a person's life falls into the darkest darkness, this light is the most precious force he can support himself to walk past.
The great French writer Romain Rolland said:
"There should be two lights in everyone's heart, one is the light of hope and the other is the light of courage. With these two lights, we are not afraid of the darkness of the sea and the dangers of the wind and waves. ”
But Roland did not say, in fact, the first two lights of man were polished for him, that is, our parents.
03. Family affection is the most inseparable bloodline
Not to mention that the mother gave birth to us in the pain, not to mention how the father led us to grow step by step, these loves are transformed into our bones and blood, becoming the most primitive force that nourishes us. And those of us who are at the darkest point of our lives are the ones who can give us life to save us.
I still remember when my brother was young, he had several chondroid tumors on his body, and when he went to Nanjing for examination, he was mistaken for the laboratory test list, so the list that my parents got showed the words "bone cancer".
This result is like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, so that the father almost fainted with two eyes and one black, after stabilizing his mood, the tearful mother helped the father who was almost leaning over and said to the doctor: "Can you change the bones?" Give him all of ours. ”
It is no wonder that Sima Qian's Biography of Qu Yuanli says:
"When people are poor, they are the opposite, so they are extremely tired and tired, and they do not try not to call out to heaven; they are miserable and miserable, and they do not try not to call their parents." When people are most embarrassed, most people will shout "Heavens"
In the most painful time, they will shout "Ma", why? Because that is our source, our foundation, the source of our strength, the gas station of our hope and courage, just like Aetna in Greek mythology, as long as his foot reaches his mother earth, he can absorb infinite strength and always be a great hero who stands tall in the sky.
For his son Xiao Worm, his father Lin Rilang is the light he faced with death, in the face of power and money, perhaps the light emitted by Lin Rilang is very small, but this light is enough to save him, at the most critical time, it is his parents who have gathered money, it is his father who is desperate for him, even at the cost of breaking the law, to save his life.
When we were young, we all thought that love was the greatest emotion, and when we grew up, we realized that family affection is the most inseparable bloodline. Loving a person, you can borrow usury for him, you can commit crimes for him, the ultimate love of this helpless middle-aged man is thoroughly explained by "Manslaughter 2".
04. A man's shimmer is the sun of a family
What was expected was that the heart that belonged to the worm was actually snatched away by the powerful mayor of the local area, Lin Zhilang's desperate risk was still put by someone, the box that was opened was empty, this humble and great father, in order to save his son's life, really did not want to die - he wanted to exchange his heart for his son Worm.
"Worm, when you think of Daddy, feel the heartbeat, and every sound is Daddy saying he loves you." I will follow this heart and will not leave you for a moment. Listen to it when you think of me, I am saying I love you. Dad hasn't given you much other than life, and now the only thing he can give you is this heart. ”
When I saw this scene, my ears suddenly remembered the chopstick brothers' "Father", the lyrics of which sang:
"Always ask for you but never say thank you, until I grew up to understand that you are not easy, every time I leave always pretend to be relaxed, smile and say go back, turn around and wet my eyes, I want to be the same as before, hold your warm palms, but you are not next to me." 」
The father here will always be by the side of the son worm, the father who gave the worm life, and gave him a heart, this insignificant man, with his unique shimmer, illuminated his son's most distant future.
When more and more girls began to say "unmarried and infertile to ensure peace", some people joked that "good men are already extinct animals". Are good men extinct? No, maybe good men, just like Lin Zhilang, struggle to live in the ordinary crowd, willing to live in the most ordinary days, they may not have much ambition and ambition, or they may not have so much ability and pride, but they have never forgotten their responsibilities, and they have not shrunk their heads when they encounter a "catastrophe" at home, so despite their weak strength, they are also trying to emit their own light.
A man's shimmer may be too insignificant for society, but for his wife and children, it is like the existence of sunlight.
05. Mei Niang said
A lot of people say that Manslaughter 2 is a very good crying movie, because a lot of people come out of the theater with red eyes. Yes, the ordinary us in the ordinary world, seeing Lin Rilang as ordinary as us, just want to let his son live, just want his son to grow up healthy, for such a simple and humble dream, you have to put down your face to borrow so you can borrow money, to earn all the money you can earn, to do everything you can to return to his son's heart, but in the end, you still have to take your own life, exchange your life for your son to give a new life.
Such humility and persistence, such struggle and love, who can not be touched, not followed by crying a sadness of others and their own sadness?
We all know that in fairy tales, gray wolves will never really eat sheep, Tom cats will never really eat rats, and bald heads will never hit bears and bears... However, in real life, the weak side will really die, will die of poverty, exhaustion, or be bullied to death, so instead of crusading against social injustice, it is better to try to be a strong person.
When I was very young, I was aware of my parents' hardships, I saw my mother's arguments with vegetable farmers for a few cents of money, and I saw my father's hardships of sticking to his post day and night for work.
So, I study hard, never live up to their expectations, every time there is a parent-teacher conference, I am particularly eager to be praised by the teacher, I hope that when they sit down and hear the teacher call my name, there will be a long-lost smile on their faces, I think, this will always make their tired hearts can get a little comfort, will let them contain some good hope for the future.
And when I went to college, went to class, made money, and I wanted to run a career again, many people asked me, why, you have to live so hard? All I want to say is, "For the people I want to love!" In order to make them proud of me, for me to have more strength to protect them. In order to have the power to light a lamp for them in the darkest hours of their lives! ”
Isn't that how love is passed on from generation to generation? When we were young, they loved us with all their hearts, even if it was a glimmer, it also gave us a happy home, and when we grew up, we also had to work hard to love them, and use the strong light to make their old age happy and smooth.
