"The Way of Heaven", which was released in 2008, has a Douban score of 9.2, and most netizens who have watched it have called it a divine drama, which is difficult to surpass.
Aside from the protagonists with their own halos, the ending of Liu Bing, a second-class vendor in the ancient city, is surprising and regrettable.
So why does Liu Bing jump off the building as the finale? What does the author want to explain? What kind of truth can we see from him?
1. Too shrewd, the hair must fight!
As soon as Liu Bing appeared on the stage, he had the temperament of a profiteer, and lowered the price of Ding Yuanying's imported records to the lowest, and then sold them at a high price to earn high profits, even Ye Xiaoming said to him: I don't know anything except money!
For a business wizard like Ding Yuanying, who has seen the world, he recognized Liu Bing at a glance, but he did not demolish him, but later pulled him into the partnership team, gave him shares, and gave him the opportunity to show his talent.
(The unexpected help of nobles made him mistakenly think that he was a usable talent, satisfying his vanity, but also causing him to have no opportunity to reflect on himself.) Because he felt that what he did to Ding Yuanying in the past did not bring him any bad influence. ）
2.For the sake of money, I can show my face
When he saw that Ding Yuanying was going to do big things with Feng Shijie and Ye Xiaoming, although he didn't believe that Ding Yuanying had this ability at first, he still apologized to Ding Yuanying with a cheeky face, expressing his desire to help Wangmiao Village get rich together and make speakers together.
It shows that he is a person who does not miss any opportunity, and he is a little clever. This little cleverness also unexpectedly gave him a stake and the opportunity to see the wider world.
But it is also such a little cleverness that makes him short-sighted and unable to see beyond the edge of the well. He drove his BMW around, printed business cards for himself, and showed off everywhere. It can be said that the company has not yet opened, and it has already imagined that he is the boss.
When the company faced a lawsuit and lost money, he decisively chose to withdraw his shares, and instigated Ye Xiaoming and Feng Shijie to withdraw their shares together. Later, when he knew that the company had hope of turning around, he was remorseful and indignant, and instigated Ye Xiaoming and them to make trouble. In contrast, Feng Shijie and Ye Xiaoming are much more upright.
3. Can't bear failure and has no responsibility
Liu Bing held the stack of blank documents and climbed to the top of the building in a trance, at this time he knew that he was a clown, a loser, his so-called "world view" collapsed, he shouted: Ding Yuanying, you lied, you lied......
At the end of his life, Liu Bing still couldn't wake up why he failed and why Ding Yuanying would give him a stack of white papers. His brain kept repeating a thought: it turned out that Ding Yuanying, who had great powers, could lie.
In his subconscious, he always thought that Ding Yuanying was a gentleman, an omnipotent master, and disdained to lie and other little tricks. Therefore, when he accepted the stack of confidential documents, he thought that he had picked up a big bargain, and it was Ding Yuanying who saw the help he gave him in his past friendships.
He knew that he was a villain, but he was powerless to change himself, and subconsciously he didn't want to change himself.
The selfishness and double standards of the disadvantaged groups are exposed at this time, and they can only accept their own meanness and cannot accept the meanness of others.
The social and cultural attributes in "The Way of Heaven" can be said to run through the whole play, and the strong cultural attributes that the author wants to express are to express the view of salvation.
The socially disadvantaged groups represented by Liu Bing have a typical luck mentality, fantasizing about spending thousands of pounds in twos and fours, bent on taking advantage, taking advantage of loopholes, and getting something for nothing. As everyone knows, when you don't have the strength, you will be calculated by others, and only when you are strong can you have the qualifications and confidence to stand at the negotiation table.
The reason why the author arranged this way is to express the inferiority of people under the attributes of weak culture and the adverse consequences produced by them, so as to warn the world. And strong cultural attributes can guide a person to save himself and be his own savior.
is like Xiao Yawen and Ouyang Xue such positive characters. They are people who dare to endure hardships and are motivated, representing an example of some groups living a better life by improving their cognition and improving their cognition under the strong cultural attributes.
The test of a blank file
Ding Yuanying's blank document to Liu Bing is a test given to Liu Bing by the author from the perspective of a third party, he knows that Liu Bing is not at ease, but he wants to give Liu Bing a chance. Whether Liu Bing opens the file or not, he will not be expelled. This was explained to Xiao Yawen by Ding Yuanying in advance.
Even if Liu Bing finally opened it and found that it was a blank file, what Ding Yuanying hoped most was that he could see his good intentions from it, and hoped that Liu Bing could completely recognize himself and the reality. But even a master like Ding Yuanying couldn't foresee that Liu Bing would choose to jump off the building.
The selfishness and narrow-mindedness of the little people are also vividly shown in the inability to bear the consequences, and only by choosing to end their lives can they escape the pain of loss.
Small thoughts: Wealth is the compensation of cognition, and the overflowing price will be returned sooner or later in another way. Most ordinary people will not be able to harness much wealth until they have thoroughly improved their awareness.
