1. Introduction: A human life that no one sympathizes with
The death of Luo Jiaming is the introduction of the entire "Heavenly Curtain Red Dust", the end of a human life, and the prelude to the story.
However, his death has rarely or even no sympathy, and all people mention him with three elements of contempt, believing that Luo Jiaming's life is worthless and can only bring endless pain and trouble to relatives and friends.
Yes, without Luo Jiaming's determination to take up the gun and point it at his temple, there would be no subsequent debt solution, and it would not have caused so much trouble for Ye Zinong, which would eventually lead to the death of a generation of high-ranking Ye Zi Farmers in Paris.
How much people love leaf farmers, they will dislike Luo Jiaming. Even Luo Jiaming's wife, Lin Xuehong, was disgusted with the evil Wu and the house, thinking that Lin Xuehong was really inexplicable for dragging the leaves into the game.
It is no wonder that the significance of the appearance of this character was originally to pave the way for others, Luo Jiaming is a negative character who misinterprets "seeing the road and not walking", a failed figure who is not realistic, and his appearance is completely to reflect the wisdom and greatness of the protagonist Ye Zinong.
People, as for those who know that it is not fair for predecessors to talk about heroes based on success or failure, but once they encounter specific people and things, they will still subconsciously be as superficial as their predecessors and make a simple judgment on a complex person or a complex matter.
After all, the years are hurried, everyone's time is limited, there is no time to do other discussions on people who have already made up their minds, and labeling people is always the easiest and most efficient.
2. Luo Jiaming's life resume
Luo Jiaming was one of the first people to respond to the country's policy of reform and opening up and go abroad. At that time, most of the Chinese people were still using food stamps and cloth tickets, bending their backs for a month's salary of tens of yuan.
Most of the Chinese people are spectators outside the story of "Tianmu Red Dust", as well as every specific person in the Tianmu Red Dust, such as Dong Hubi, who is now coded here, and you who read this article soon after.
Recall, in the early 1980s, what were we or our elders doing, how many people were able to rush to the forefront of the tide of the times like Luo Jiaming, and do a generation of tides?
In contrast, we know that Before Luo Jiaming met Ye Zinong, he was already a representative figure of emancipating his mind and seeking truth from facts at that time, but he himself did not know it.
Of course, according to Mr. Sima Bubei's analysis, this group of hipsters are all speculators with impure motives, and the reason why they have been able to successfully accumulate wealth is that they have completely exploited loopholes in laws and policies, and their faces are hateful and malicious.
Here, we do not dwell too much on the ZHENGZHI tendencies of Luo Jiaming and Ye Ziming, but only talk about their experiences.
No matter what method Luo Jiaming used to make his origins, it did not seem to have violated the laws and policies of his country at that time, so we cannot judge that they have caused disasters to the country and the people one by one because their motives are to make a fortune.
After all, while we make this judgment, we also need to compare our hearts to our hearts and reflect on ourselves. Most of us want to get rich under the premise of abiding by the law, and this motivation is not despicable at all, and it can be made public.
If we accept that morality and rules cannot be done even to ourselves, then how can we use such things to demand from others? Is it because others get it and we don't get it, so we feel sour?
I am a Native of Shanxi, and sour is the taste of our old Vinegar in Shanxi, but we cannot be as sour as Old Vinegar.
In fact, luo Jiaming's suffering is not sympathetic, and a very important reason is because there are very few people who have the same experience as him, and people do not empathize with him.
From the perspective of the state and society, Luo Jiaming is already in the past tense, and he has been merciful not to liquidate them in accordance with the revised legal provisions, so he will never set them as an exemplary example and regard their deeds as advanced propaganda.
In every era, there are many gray figures like Luo Jiaming, who are neither heroes of the world nor thieves of the country, good and evil, right and wrong, merit and fault are left for the world to comment.
Compared with the mediocre beings, they are lucky and unfortunate, fortunately their names will be passed down through the ages in the wild history, unfortunately they cannot live under the Nine Springs, and they may be pulled out at any time to whip the corpse.
3. Luo Jiaming understands that the road is not going
Luo Jiaming is a businessman, a rich man, but he is not a celebrity and nobleman, just a grain of dust in the big times.
In his era, he was able to not go to work in the unit and tighten the screws in the factory, which was already a practical practice of "seeing the road and not walking". Not only that, Luo Jiaming also appreciates the younger generation of leaf farmers who are also "not going to see the road" and is willing to provide angel investment to leaf farmers without any guarantee.
Although the excellence of the leaf farmers is obvious to all, but that is a later thing, when the leaf farmers are poor, only one Luo Family is willing to lend a helping hand, and when he gives money, he does not think of letting the leaf farmer return.
We can imagine the plight of the leaf farmer at that time, he had many ideas, and there were ways to realize the ideas, but no one wanted to believe him, and the leaf farmer had already eaten countless closed doors before asking to see Luo Jiaming.
You can say that Luo Jiaming is very stupid and naïve, but from another point of view, why is this not Luo Jiaming's "see the road and not go"?
Speaking of which, some people will definitely point out that Luo Jiaming's angel investment in Leaf Farmers is too casual and not realistic at all. Yes, those who appreciate Ye Zinong and belittle Luo Jiaming are always confused about the dialectical unity of "seeing the road and not walking" and "seeking truth from facts", and only then will they be swayed by the concept of thinking, and will simply understand seeing the road and not taking the road as "risk-taking" and seeking truth from facts as "conservative".
It is precisely because Luo Jiaming's purpose is pure that ye zinong owes him a great deal of human affection, making it difficult for ye zinong to refuse Lin Xuehong's request. The soul collision between two men is not maintained by agreement or commitment, but by cause and effect.
This is the "cause and effect" and "rulai" mentioned repeatedly in the book, and it is also the real reason why leaf farmers must accept Lin Xuehong's request. Luo Jiaming died, but the good cause he planted was still there, without this good cause, even if Lin Xuehong knelt down and prostrated his head until he was bleeding, Ye Zinong had no need to take responsibility, he was a pragmatic person, not Guanyin in this world.
4, Luo Jiaming's failure, political economy is not separated
Ye Zinong has never belittled Luo Jiaming, and all the negative comments about Luo Jiaming are said by other lay people in the book, and I think they can be summed up with "standing and talking without fear of waist pain".
Luo Jiaming's debt to engage the Norcock Oil Company was a life-and-death bet in his life, and as a result, due to political reasons known to everyone, he went bankrupt, and decades of wealth disappeared overnight, and he also owed everyone a lot of money.
People who owe money and don't pay him back scold him for not knowing the current affairs, which is also a common sentiment of people.
But at the same time, we must also understand that later the leaf farmer proposed a debt solution and took responsibility, which was also a big gamble in the life of the leaf farmer, the difference was that the Hungarians were half a beat slower than the Russians, so that the leaf farmers won by chance.
The direction of politics has always been confusing, how many businessmen can accurately judge its direction and grasp its key nodes?
People only see successful businessmen picking chestnuts in the fire and making money from the unpredictable situation, but they never see the failed businessmen seeing the wrong wind direction and being crushed to pieces by the wheel of history.
From Deng Tong Shen Wansan to Hu Xueyan, Sheng Xuanhuai, which one is not a dragon among men? What man doesn't think he's gifted enough to control everything? The result? Who can retreat from a complex political situation?
Luo Jiaming can't grasp the pen and microphone, so the evaluation of them will never be good, and people will automatically forget the various charities they did when they were alive, and they will be impressed by their insensitivity.
Unlike Zhang Zhicheng, no matter what he does, he serves the people, and the history books praise them as a matter of course.
5. Why didn't Luo Jiaming ask for help from leaf farmers? The sad end of a middle-aged man
When Luo Jiaming died, he thought of his mother, thought of his wife, and even thought of Gorba, but never of the leaf farmer he had helped.
Ye Zinong's four words "see the road and don't go" were posted in his office, but Luo Jiaming had nowhere to go.
Luo Jiaming was not only forced to die by debts, but also his various relationships in the Soviet Union, which had once been Luo Jiaming's resources, but in the last moments of his life, they had become trouble. If he did not die, those troubles would ensue, even affecting his family and friends, making Luo Jiaming die even more undignified.
The night outside Moscow was bleak for Luo Jiaming.
Leaf farmers can only solve part of Luo Jiaming's debt problems, and when it comes to the political troubles that Luo Jiaming encountered in Soviet Russia, Ye Zinong can't help. In fact, Luo Jiaming knows many high-ranking people in both the political and business circles, and their level and realm will not be worse than Zhang Zhicheng, and they can point out various paths to Ye Ziming, but none of them can see the dawn.
The reason why men are men is because many big things can only be borne by themselves, and no one can share them for you.
The choices they make, whether right or wrong, can only swallow tears and blood into their stomachs and endure the pain to move forward.
Looking at Qi Tongwei's dilemma in "The Name of the People", we can understand that a middle-aged man who chooses to commit suicide is by no means impulsive like a young man, but the result of careful consideration, and although there are thousands of ways to live, each one is like the one described in General Ye's poem:
Climb out and give you freedom!
There are definitely far more dogs who choose to live than there are people who choose to commit suicide.
The death of Luo Jiaming has nothing to do with the pair of "seeing the road and not walking", seeing the road without walking can guide small business like Lao Jiu, and can guide a workplace white like Fang Di, but for Luo Jiaming of the ZHENGZHI Fengyun Center, there is no guiding significance at all.
No one can survive by understanding reason, even if they are as smart as leaf farmers, they are not exempt from vulgarity, and there is no turning back when they go forward.
After being caught up in the whirlpool, Ye Zinong also knew his own danger, but he still had to appear on the streets of Paris, which was only one difference from Luo Jiaming's suicide: a bullet came from his own gun chamber, and a bullet came from someone else's gun chamber.
