"I Am Not the God of Medicine" is a feature film directed by Wen Muye and starring Xu Zheng and Zhou Yiwei. In this film, Xu Zheng plays a boss named Cheng Yong, who sells Indian divine oil, and he is still poor in middle age.
His wife couldn't stand his unenterprising and divorced him, their only son was raised by his wife, and Cheng Yong had a father who was arranged in a nursing home by Cheng Yong with limited mobility, but he already owed half a year's hospitalization fee to the nursing home.
It can be said that the most important thing for Cheng Yong at the moment is to make money quickly.
On this day, a man with a 3-layer mask found Cheng Yong, he claimed that his name was Lu Yingying, a leukemia patient, and said that he wanted to smuggle a batch of Indian pirated drugs through Cheng Yong's purchase channel, and this genuine drug sold for 40,000 yuan in a bottle in China, but the pirated version only sold for 2,000, which can be said to be very profitable.
But Cheng Yong knew that it was illegal to sell pirated drugs, so he impatiently wanted to get rid of Lu Yingying, and Lu Yingying saw that he was deadlocked, so he left in a hurry after leaving his contact information.
Cheng Yong didn't take this incident seriously, but what happened next made Cheng Yong start to take risks and sell pirated drugs.
His father suddenly became seriously ill and urgently needed a sum of money for surgery, and his store was locked by the landlord because he had been in arrears for too long.
After Cheng Yong confirmed that the pirated drug had no side effects and had the same efficacy as the genuine drug, he came to India with a plane ticket.
In India, Cheng Yong learned that this drug for the treatment of leukemia was only sold for 500 yuan, and Cheng Yong smelled a huge business opportunity.
So he found the pharmaceutical factory that produced this drug, and successfully got back some of the medicine by relying on his usual eloquence of selling divine oil, and agreed with the Indian pharmaceutical factory that if he could sell out this batch of drugs, he would be the general agent of the pharmaceutical factory in China.
In this way, Cheng Yong returned to China with his batch of drugs with confidence, and in China, Cheng Yong set the price of this batch of drugs at 5,000 yuan.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the news was announced, a large number of patients flocked to it, and at this time, Cheng Yong realized how large the group needed this medicine to treat the disease.
It was also during the period of selling medicine that Cheng Yong got acquainted with Pastor Liu, who prayed sincerely for his patients, Peng Hao, a righteous boy who stuck a knife in his friend's ribs, Liu Sihui, a dancer who danced in a nightclub to treat his daughter's illness, and Lu Yingying, who wanted to make a living for himself.
After that, the five formed a temporary group to learn from each other's strengths and began to sell a large number of drugs in the country.
Within a few days, the medicine that Cheng Yong brought back was sold out, and he successfully became the general agent of the pharmaceutical factory in China.
But the good times didn't last long, as Cheng Yong and his counterfeit drugs sold more and more, the genuine manufacturers who produced this medicine began to notice that something was wrong, so they decisively called the police and claimed that someone was selling fake drugs.
The police handed over the case to the police officer Cao Bin to be responsible, and this Cao Bin was Cheng Yong's brother-in-law before, and when Cheng Yong was with Cao Bin's sister, he looked down on this brother-in-law who sold divine oil.
At this time, he didn't know that Cheng Yong was selling this fake drug, so he started an investigation.
After Cao Bin's investigation, he found that this medicine was not a fake drug as the informant said, but a medicine that can actually cure diseases, but this fake drug did not have any formal procedures, so the director still ordered Cao Bin to investigate as soon as possible.
At this time, Cheng Yong's side was also jealous of his peers because of his big business, and the agent who also sold fake drugs came to the door, hoping to spend 2 million to buy the general agent of the Indian pharmaceutical factory in Cheng Yong's hands.
Cheng Yong didn't agree, but he didn't expect that the next day the pharmacist would threaten Cheng Yong with the police to agree to his conditions.
Facts have proved that this method of the pharmacist is very effective, and after this trouble, Cheng Yong was scared, he agreed to the pharmacist's request, and his five-person team finally broke up.
A year has passed in a blink of an eye, and in this year, mileage Yong relied on the 2 million to open a garment factory, and life was very comfortable, and as for others, Cheng Yong had no contact with them for more than a year.
On this day, when Cheng Yong was receiving customers, Lu Ying's wife came to the door and knelt on the ground to beg Cheng Yong to help them.
It turned out that after Cheng Yong sold the agency rights to the pharmacist for 2 million yuan, the pharmacist was soon reported by the patient because of the indiscriminate price increase, and the pharmacist ran away with the money and no one sold the cheap medicine anymore, so many people stopped taking the medicine because of this.
And Lu Yingli is one of them, and his life is in danger because of long-term drug withdrawal.
After seeing Lu Yingying's haggard appearance, Cheng Yong decided to go to India again to help Lu Yingying, but Lu Yingying did not insist until Cheng Yong came back. One night, while his wife and children were asleep, he hanged himself.
At Lu Ying's funeral, Cheng Yong saw many patients who had bought his medicine before, and the despair in their eyes deeply pierced Cheng Yong's heart, and he decided to start selling medicine again, and this time the price he set was 500 yuan!
After Cheng Yong started to do this, the people in the previous group of five also came back to help him.
At this time, Cao Bin's side also stepped up the investigation because of the sale of counterfeit drugs again, and soon Cheng Yong entered their field of vision, but they did not have any substantive evidence for Cheng Yong.
This night, Cheng Yong and Peng Hao came to the container to unload the goods as usual, Peng Hao accidentally saw the police blocking at the dock, he did not tell Cheng Yong the news, but drove alone to attract the police.
During this period, Peng Hao was hit by a large truck while crossing the road because of his fast speed, and died on the spot, and after Peng Hao's death, Cheng Yong knew that he had little time left.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for Cheng Yong to be caught red-handed by the police while trading with a patient, and Cheng Yong did not resist when he was caught, because he had already prepared.
In court, Cheng Yong also gave up the lawyer's opportunity to defend himself, and calmly admitted his mistake to the judge. In the end, Cheng Yong was sentenced to 5 years in prison for drug smuggling.
On the way to prison, the people Cheng Yong had helped spontaneously stood on both sides of the road to see each other off, and vaguely Cheng Yong seemed to see Lu Yingfu and Peng Hao, who had left them. At this moment, Cheng Yong is worthy of himself and others.
He is not a god of medicine, he can't change the world alone, but he gives everything he has and does his best to just change a little bit!
Because even if you can change it a little bit, that's good.
