The second brush of "Crazy", let's talk about Cao Chuang, Li Xiang, and Yang Jian

The author of this article: Chuan Meimei

I have a new understanding of Cao Chuang, Li Xiang, and Yang Jian, and I have sympathy and regret for them, but it is no longer a single hatred and contempt. Everything has cracks, and that's where the light comes in, or maybe the muddy water rushes in.

First of all, Cao Chuang (played by Hao Ping), he is an old criminal policeman, does not have the formal education of young policemen, transferred from a grassroots police station, has a very practical spirit, rich in front-line work experience, and has become a criminal police captain. According to his own words, in the early days, he had an advantage in giving benefits to the unit at the end of the year. Later, when he paid attention to academic qualifications, he couldn't eat it. There are very few old policemen like him who are still on the front line, and most of them have been taken dry. Meng Bureau was about to mention the district to become the secretary of the district party committee, and the Security Bureau was transferred to Bobei City as the head of the public security bureau, and his old colleagues were promoted.

At this time, Zhao Lidong (played by Bao Dazhi), the secretary of the municipal party committee, found him to hint that he killed Xu Jiang (played by Jia Bing), a criminal suspect in a recent murder case in Jinghai City, and promised him to be the deputy director of the Jinghai City Public Security Bureau, which is not a small temptation for him. As the captain of the criminal police, it was not difficult to kill someone at the scene of the case, so he was moved. That day at the scene the situation was more complicated, he saw Gao Qiqiang (played by Zhang Songwen), Xu Jiang was very arrogant, and directly ordered him to kill Gao Qiqiang, otherwise there was no way to explain to the leader. He raised his muzzle and aimed at Xu Jiang, but he was hit by Lao Mo (Feng Bing) who was ambushed in the shadows, and when he fell, he had remorse in his heart and should not covet promotion.

At this time, apprentice Li Xiang (played by Li Jian) arrived, he was full of regret, and told Li Xiang the truth, "Take me for a future." This scene is very exciting, An Xin (played by Zhang Yi) accepted the award at the commendation meeting in the city, he put the mobile phone microphone into the microphone, Li Xiang reported at the scene: National Road 302, found the suspect. All the public security officers at the venue heard it, and Meng Bureau (played by Zhang Zhijian) immediately announced, "All the Jinghai City Criminal Investigation Team is here, let's go!" ”

However, the situation at that time was that old Momali wiped off the fingerprints on the gun, forged the scene of Xu Jiang and Cao Chuang's fighting and fighting, and then quickly left. Li Xiang was indeed one step late, and before his death, the Cao team regretted that he was greedy for official positions, and let Li Xiang tell the truth. But Li Xiang chose to hide the truth, seemingly to protect the reputation of the master, but actually had his own little selfishness.

The fact is that Li Xiang was quickly taken in by Zhao Lidong and often contacted him through Secretary Wang (played by Zheng Jiabin) to do bad things for himself. Li Xiang also naturally became the head of the criminal investigation team, which is probably not uncommon in real life. You think, if you are the main leader of the municipal party committee, then it is not a one-time thing to be promoted to become rich and prosperous, and no one will say "no". Of course, in addition to An Xin, he is a sad messenger of justice, and finally became a marginal person in the political and legal system of Jinghai, what is the use of being born into death and receiving awards for meritorious service, first demoted to be a traffic policeman, and then became an irrelevant chief of the propaganda section, only mixed up to the section level for twenty years, no family and no children, with white hair, which is chilling.

"Crazy" is good because not only the male and female protagonists have plump personalities, but their acting skills are explosive, including supporting roles and killers are not shaping, and the bad guys have cold killers and all kinds of tenderness in the face of their loved ones. Such as Gao Qiqiang and Lao Mo's thoughtful care for their families. Good people also have stains. For example, Cao Chuang, his loyalty to the criminal investigation cause, and the care and support of Ai Jiang An Xin have all been seen. That day, he was killed by the leader, and also issued a letter of cooperation and a letter of introduction overnight, for An Xin and Li Xiang to go to Xiping County, fight with the crazy donkey (played by Wang Peilu), and save Guo Zhen (played by Jiang Haoyan), an important witness of Xu Jiang's murder, for the progress of the case.

Next, Li Xiang also gradually clarified his thoughts in his dealings with Zhao Lidong, especially Zhao Lidong instructed him to destroy Tan Siyan (Ye Qishan) of the Municipal Policy Research Office who dared to report him, and he was touched by his honest conscience and brave who was not afraid of life and death. He began quietly gathering evidence with the intention of bringing down the top government official in substantive preparations.

However, how difficult and dangerous it is for corrupt and evil forces to declare war on them, we can imagine that he did not expect how crazy and cunning the Gao family's high-IQ criminal Gao Qisheng (Su Xiaoyue) was, in that noodle shop was already about to arrest the murderer, seeing that Gao had been hit by the special police, he suddenly opened his blood basin and made a death struggle, he used his last breath to push Li Xiang off the balcony and die with himself, this scene was creepy. Even after Zhao Lidong was praised, the second elder of the Gao family killed two birds with one stone, not only fulfilled his brother's righteous annihilation, but also handed over the letter of surrender, killed Li Xiang, and removed Zhao Lidong's trouble. The underworld forces are too outrageous.

Such a ferocious, cunning and arrogant opponent contrasts with the thrilling handling of cases by our investigators, and the matter of life and death makes people sweat from time to time.

Then there is Yang Jian, the anti-drug captain (played by Wang Xiao), I want to laugh as soon as the actor appears, he played Yang Ke in "The Golden Years", and took the heroine Zhu Suo played by Ni Ni to fight a few beautiful battles in the mall, very capable and dashing. In "Crazy", he is also very good at anti-drugs, and he took a fancy to the beautiful Meng Yu (played by Li Yitong), and finally he hugged the beauty back and became Meng Yu's husband. He entered Meng's house, and he took off his police uniform for his wife and became the deputy director of the telecommunications bureau.

In the later period, in order to be worthy of the son-in-law of the Meng family, he turned to Gao Qiqiang, greedy for hundreds of millions, he himself can not show his wealth in food and clothing, his beautiful wife Miss Meng Yu should know in her heart, she enjoys the good life brought to her by her husband, continues to be a reporter with peace of mind, has become the director of the TV station, and the promotion to director is just around the corner. And his old mother still lives in a simple old house, it seems that the family is very poor, does it also mean to show incorruptibility.

Are there many such people in life, and some viewers regard him and An Xinbi, who has cherished his original intention, has been lying down for twenty years and has been bold enough to fight black and eliminate evil and unchangeable belief, has no official, no family, no children and no daughter, and the descendants of officials with high appearance and high education have chosen him wisely, right? Which woman wants to marry an An Xin like him, with only pathetic idealism in her heart, twenty years of humble life on the edge of the situation, what else does it have to follow him except suffering grievances? Maybe more sad than Meng Yu's mother.

The reality is so cruel, the values of society today are so naked, you live well, you have money and are chased and envied; You are poor, you pursue ideals, you are not welcomed, even looked down upon. The audience was impressed by the critical spirit of realism in "Crazy", which wrote through the complexity and greed of human nature and sin.

Good people can become bad, and bad people are not as cruel as they are. Gao Qiqiang was not so kind when he was a fishmonger. But society is a big dye vat. As Maugham said in The Moon and Sixpence, "Meanness and greatness, malice and goodness, hatred and love can exist in the same heart without exclusion." He added, "I did not yet understand how contradictory human nature is, how much artifice there is in sincerity, how much meanness lies in nobility, or how virtue can be found even in evil." Maugham puts human nature in three points here.

The most hateful officialdom is Mayor Zhao Lidong, Secretary of the Provincial Political and Legal Committee He Liming (played by Qin Yan), they protect each other, the protective umbrella covers the underworld forces, they regard other people's lives as grass and mustard, who blocks his way to "do", completely out of control with one hand to cover the sky, the people are extremely indignant, and finally they are thoroughly investigated, they should be killed, they should be sentenced, and they will not be tolerated.

And Cao Chuang, Li Xiang, as An Xin said at the commendation meeting: "Everyone makes mistakes, and at this time they need to restart their lives and redo their choices." At this time, he will especially need someone to reach out and help him and let him choose again. This is the value and meaning of our professional existence as a police officer. Li Xiang listened to An Xin's persuasion at the scene, and the light entered his crack, and he returned to his conscience and original heart step by step. The letter he left for An Xin said that he was mixed with Zhao Lidong and did things that even he was disgusting every day, and he finally woke up, but it was also dangerous, and Zhao Lidong put him on the list of "done". Just when Gao Qisheng saw the opportunity, he sacrificed.

This reminds me of Nietzsche's famous saying "You gaze into the abyss, and the abyss gazes at you", you must learn to protect yourself in the game against the evil forces. An Xin and An Changlin (played by Shi Zhaoqi) in their long careers of twenty years, they seem to be "waste", but in fact, they accumulate strength and preserve themselves in order to fight with them and achieve complete victory.
