Although "The Long Season" is a suspense drama, it spans more than 20 years, but it interprets the half life of ordinary people to the extreme, entering the factory or entering the system, and the ending is tearful.
There are many choices in life, and no matter what period, young people have different choices about entering the factory or entering the system. As Wang Xiang said in the play, when the efficiency in the factory was good, there were big fat slices in the morning in the canteen, and in that era when there were no drops of oil in the stomach, such treatment was simply not too good.

In the northeast of the eighties and nineties, people of any age guaranteed a sincere heart, and many people had the idea of taking the factory as their home.
At that time, people did not seem to be so concerned about gains and losses, feeling that it would be extremely honorable to become a worker, remembering that it was still popular to take over, and after the father retired, the son could go up, and there was no need for examination selection, as long as it was a living young person, he could work directly.
At that time, there was no comparison, let alone who was very rich and who was particularly poor, and they were all working hard to live for tomorrow.
In "The Long Season", it was also found that the four characters in the play have different life choices, some of them have entered the factory and the system, because of the different choices, they have different endings when they are old, there is heartache and joy, pain and fast, happiness and pain.
Wang Xiang Loud Loud Walking Birch Scanner
Wang Xiang took over his father's class and smoothly entered Huagang Steel, and through decades of hard work, he became a train driver and a model worker, which can be said to have reached the peak of his life.
He thinks that the factory is everything, regards the factory as his home, is proud of his work, and even wants his son to work in the factory.
It is such a person, when the factory is restructured, it is inevitable to be laid off, he is still in the list of the first batch of laid-off personnel, that's it, Wang Xiang still has a deep affection for the Birch Steel Factory, he is still looking for how not to be laid off, how to stay in the factory to work.
The elderly Wang Xiang drives a taxi for a living, his life is very dull, the house still lives in the original house, but the furniture in the house has not changed much, his life is still busy.
Wang Xiang in old age is also a person who is very optimistic about life, he has no complaints, nor does he complain about the misfortune brought to him by Hua Steel Mill, perhaps people like him will choose to adapt wherever he goes.
If the elderly Wang Xiang really retires smoothly in the factory and has a retirement salary, his life may be more colorful, and for people like him who love driving, he can't be idle with retirement salary.
Gong Biao Fan Debiao's Biao Ripping Champion
Gong Biao was directly assigned to the office work of the chemical factory after graduating from university, which at that time was equivalent to the middle level of the factory, and to some extent, he was more powerful than Wang Xiang.
His job was very good during that period, and ordinary people could not get it, so he also successfully found a nurse, which can be said to be a double harvest of career and family.
Gong Biao is lazy at home, and he has a good face outside, and Gong Biao is provocative and Xiaoli has a deep routine.
With the brilliant end of the Huagang Factory, Gong Biao in the later period could only drive a taxi with Wang Xiang, and finally "stolen" his daughter-in-law's money to buy a taxi of his own, but he did not expect to be deceived.
Gong Biao should not have worked until retirement and was sent home by the factory, the hospital where his daughter-in-law worked also belonged to the Huagang Factory, so he also lost his job, and in the later period, Gong Biao had diabetes, his daughter-in-law gave beauty at home, and the marriage life of the two was full of contradictions.
The life of the two of them does not seem to be very rich, and they also belong to the kind of life that can be lived and lived, if Gong Biao did not choose to enter the factory at that time, his life after retirement may not be so helpless.
Ma Desheng Victory Victory Capture the Ma Criminal Police
Ma Desheng was originally the captain of the criminal police team, and his life after retirement was much more moisturized than Wang Xiang and Gong Biao, and he loved to dance and raised a puppy, and there was almost no much worry in his later life.
When he did his work, everyone respected him very much, and after retirement, he seemed to have lost a lot of power, but the pride in his bones still existed.
From the outside, the spirit is very strong, although when I was young, I worked a lot of heart, but after retirement, I have a lot of space for myself, and I don't have to run for firewood, rice, oil and salt.
Bold guess, in the glory of the birch steel mill, the ordinary workers in the factory should be more profitable than Ma Desheng, have more free time, stable work and rest time, people are more keen to enter the factory to work, Ma Desheng is more like a small head in the service industry, except for wages and small power, nothing else.
Xing Jianchun Spring from spring to autumn aggrieved people
Xing Jianchun was the chief of the security section of the Birch Steel Plant when he was young, it seems that this person is more timid, but he hides a lot of careful thoughts, and the chief of the security section in the factory at that time is also equivalent to the police inside the factory, with great power and status.
More than 20 years later, when Wang Xiang and others met Xing Jianchun again, he was doing the business of issuing fake license plates for others, driving a small broken car, and his body was still sick and hung with urine bags, and his body was full of miserable words.
Don't sympathize with Xing Jianchun, he can become like this, it's all self-inflicted.
Four people had four lives, some of them chose to enter the factory, and some chose to work in the system.
Gong Biao and Xing Jianchun did not have a stable income in the later period, let alone a pension, and they were still riddled with diseases, it can be said that the word stability can only be written, and may never be able to be expressed on the face.
Wang Xiang is optimistic, he has no dreams after losing a lot of things, and it is also a helpless move to open a rental after being laid off. Ma Desheng is the most stable and happy of these four people, as the birch steel mill is eliminated by the times, the people in the factory scatter to find money, each looking for a way out, but Ma Desheng's treatment is getting better and better.
The fork in the road in life is constant, one road into the factory, rich treatment awaits you, one road into the system, too much power around the temptation.
But the choice is not easy, entering the factory means plain and comfortable, entering the system means competition and risk, whether you pursue ordinary or ambitious, how young people should choose may have the answer in their hearts.
"The Long Season" is not simply a case, he is a real life portrayal of a generation, some people have been eliminated by history, some have been replaced by new things, looking back years later, if there is a regret medicine, then Wang Xiang, Gong Biao and Xing Jianchun should rush to eat, but Ma Desheng will go the same way.
The life trajectory of these four people may be because of the choice of work and formed different endings, except for Ma Desheng has a stable old age, the rest of the people in the birch steel mill have a bad fate, they are also busy for eating, even if one can't hold urine, one diabetes, one hanging urine bag can not enjoy the rest of their lives, it's really embarrassing to see these.
Do you think it is better to enter the factory or the system?
Is the retirement treatment the same as entering the factory?
