The youth growth drama "The Wind Chaser" tells the story of the young Wei Ruolai (played by Wang Yibo) in Shanghai's workplace struggle history, in the face of all kinds of injustice, he adheres to the spirit of "riding the long wind and breaking thousands of miles", pursues justice and truth, and gradually clarifies himself and strengthens his beliefs. "The Wind Chaser" is the journey of ordinary people, and it gradually introduces emotions from a balanced perspective, allowing the audience to witness the gradual growth of a character like Wei Ruolai, which is convincing.
When Wei Ruolai appeared, he had a momentum and stunned temperament, and in the daily life of Qibao Street, he revealed the fireworks of human nature and life. Many viewers have noticed Wei Ruolai's bravery at the central bank, his saber-rattling with HSBC and Hua Xia Bank, or the fearless choice of the CCP's underground workers in the face of the crisis, but the warmth of Qibao Street is equally touching.
In the turbulent era, how Wei Ruolai broke a bright road in the mystery of life and death, the legend and daily life of this "little" character were integrated, giving the story a dual temperament of grandeur and ordinariness. This ordinary temperament has taken root in Qibao Street, giving birth to a unique charm.
Such as Ah Wen in Qibao Street, Wei Ruolai's rickshaw driver friend. He hoped that Wei Ruolai would have a smooth interview, personally pulled a car to send him, and invited him to eat wontons if his job search was not smooth, although these are small gestures, but they are full of sincere friendship, no matter when and where, he chooses to selflessly support his friends.
Awen's highlight is that when Wei Ruolai encountered the "gold bar" dilemma, he chose to take the risk and let Ruolai live a good life with the gold bar. He put his personal life and death aside, only the protection of his good brothers. Ah Wen looked like uncarved jade in the dust of Qibao Street, plain but containing great energy. He is a beautiful scenery on the street, a hard-working low-level man who still has a tenacious heart.
He gave Wei Ruolai unwavering support, and he regarded Ruolai as the hope of Qibao Street, and was even willing to make sacrifices for Ruolai's future. His loyalty to friendship and steadfastness in life are both admirable and distressing.
Another character, Aunt Zhou, looks like a stingy marketer at first glance. She pulled Wei Ruolai to buy stocks, experienced the ups and downs of the stock market, and after her hysterical crying and scolding, she still chose to give Wei Ruolai a windbreaker and jacket on the morning of the interview. She has a mean mouth, but she has a kind and soft heart.
Although Aunt Zhou is careful and does a small business, in her heart, she has friendship and dedication to everyone. In the scene of the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, you can feel the warmth of home through the screen. She even bought her own braised pork and hearty meals to entertain her neighbors who couldn't go home for the New Year.
Aunt Zhou has both motherly care and appreciation for Wei Ruolai, and she even wants to introduce her niece to him, and the "blind date" scene at the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is both humorous and highlights Wei Ruolai's popular status in this "big family".
When Wei Ruolai was released from prison, he returned to Qibao Street and was alienated and cold by his neighbors, but only Aunt Zhou unswervingly supported him and helped him restore his reputation. How can such an Aunt Zhou not be loved?
The warm Awen like a brother, the knife-mouthed tofu-hearted Aunt Zhou, and the wise "uncle", these characters of Qibao Street gave Wei Ruolai great support. They may be ordinary, but they shine with the brilliance of humanity in the ordinary.
Through these characters of Qibao Street, the audience has absorbed the firmness and persistence of friendship, life, and a better tomorrow. This group of people who are not related by blood together build a warm "big family".
What kind of challenges will Wei Ruolai and his Qibao Street neighbors face next, and will he bravely call for these warm souls to pursue a brighter future? Let's wait and see in the next episode.
