When I first saw "Goodbye Ah Lang", I thought it was starring Zhou Runfa, and it turned out that I was confused with Fa Ge's "Ah Lang's Story", and the two films were directed by Du Qifeng, one was a racing driver, and the other was a triad boss, both telling the story of the prodigal son turning back to gold. Today we will talk about "Goodbye Ah Lang" starring Liu Qingyun.
Zhang Donglang, played by Liu Qingyun, is a big brother of the underworld, who just got out of prison and fought with taxi drivers, belonging to the kind of violent maniacs who fight without a word. After that, she stayed at the International Hotel, a woman whose husband died prematurely and raised her son alone to run the hotel. The next day, the taxi driver found his uncle, who was a policeman, to get justice for him, and asked the hotel owner to provide a false confession and frame Zhang Donglang. However, this woman did not shrink back because of the big brother's temper and the threat of the police, and insisted on testifying for the big brother.
After a period of contact, the orphans and widows of the hotel gradually found a father and husband role, each time the hostess cooked a bowl of instant noodles and an egg for herself; the room was also cleaned; the table was always on the table with the cigarettes that the eldest brother loved to smoke. Aren't these the homes he's been looking for? Helplessly, the evil policeman played by Lin Xue has refused to let him go, and has also made various evil deeds such as not allowing taxis to solicit customers to international hotels and stripping off the pants of the boss lady's son.
Faced with this situation, the grumpy man could not bear it, and immediately treated his body with his human way, stripped Lin Xue of his pants, and handcuffed him to a telephone pole. At this time, the boss lady Xiaoxue finally couldn't bear it, and could only drive Liu Qingyun away. But when Liu Qingyun called back late at night to ask "can I come back", Xiaoxue accepted the big brother again.
At this time, the hotel has fallen into a serious economic crisis and is facing closure at any time. Originally the eldest brother was rich, but was swept away by a group of little brothers and wives, they understand that the big brother eats soft and does not eat hard, knows that he is soft-hearted, and he is most reluctant to lose people in his life, and he has tried and tried this trick repeatedly. In desperation, he could only plan to rob the bank to solve the problem of the hotel, and after walking around the bank door a few times, he gave up, went to the shop opened by his wife, and asked to return his money to him. A dispute arose in the process of asking for money, which slowly evolved into robbery.
The most common sentence of the big brother is to let Xiaoxue pay attention to the news, and see the big brother robbing from the news, and immediately rush to the scene to persuade him to turn himself in. The eldest brother who was about to fall into hell again told Xiaoxue his heart: I have been in and out of the cell all my life, I have stayed in many hotels, many hotels, I somehow, I live in the International Hotel No. 206 I am the most comfortable and happy, maybe it is like a home. Ten big brothers, nine bumps, how can someone like me have a home. At this time, Xiaoxue replied: Whether there is an international hotel or not, as long as there is me, you have a home.
The eldest brother who has decided to turn himself in was still beaten by the evil police, but at this time, the eldest brother did not fight back and chose to bear it, because at this time he was not the boss of the underworld, but a man who was about to return home, and all he had to do was to go home. Three years later, the eldest brother was released from prison again, stopped in a taxi and found that the driver was the evil policeman Lin Xue, and took out a lighter to help him light a cigarette. At this time, Ah Lang took out a cigarette and handed it to Lin Xue, and the two of them chatted like a pair of old friends who had not seen each other for many years. The eldest brother said to go to see their mother and son, and Lin Xue asked him to help him say hello to them, and the two finally laughed and hated each other.
One is a triad element despised by others, a debauched prodigal son, but in fact, he is a big brother who is serious about righteousness and good nature, and it does not matter if the little brother and the woman cheat their money out of their own money, in the spirit of living an attitude of not living up to people. A widow with a weak body and a strong character, who upholds justice and is not afraid of coercion. In this way, the two people slowly rubbed out the spark of love in the misunderstanding and dispute, and finally Xiaoxue used his silent dedication and kindness to touch the heart of the evil man in the jianghu, although he did not keep the hotel, but he found a home for himself and found a father for his son.
For Du Qifeng, who likes to play fate, "Goodbye Ah Lang" is no longer a pessimistic and desperate ending, but a ending full of light and hope, which is really surprising. Liang Chaowei and Liu Qingyun in "Dark Flower" and the five brothers in "Banishment" all reflect fate. However, for such a happy ending of the prodigal son's return is also of great positive significance, Du Dao is indeed a person with connotations.
