Lao Jiang, the program host of a certain Television station in Hong Kong, is a middle-aged man with old and young, his daughter has reached the age of talking about marriage, and he has made a boyfriend who is engaged in music, but how old Jiang looks at it is not pleasing to the eye. My son just graduated from high school and wanted to study in Canada, which is a big expense, only the younger daughter is still relatively well-behaved and clever, but the old Jiang is busy with work. The affairs of the children are enough for old Jiang to be bothered, and the wife has to go out to work again, and has been a housewife for most of her life, and the wife must also let herself go. In addition to coping with work matters, the middle-aged man's old Jiang also has to face a chicken feather in the family, but life is like this, no one can be exempted.
The family was already enough for old Jiang to be upset, but there was an accident at work, in a live news broadcast, old Jiang interrupted the broadcast because of stomach pain, the company boss was very dissatisfied, thinking that old Jiang was not useful and asked him to be laid off. Old Jiang was very angry, isn't this unloading and killing donkeys? But thinking about it, a large number of people in my family are waiting for their little salary to live, and if they lose this job, the family can only drink the northwest wind. Therefore, he pulled down his old face and asked the boss for mercy, and the boss Gu Nian old Jiang reluctantly agreed to it for many years.
After work, old Jiang went to the hospital to check that he might have bowel cancer, old Jiang did not believe it and asked the doctor how accurate the test results were, the doctor replied that it was one in ten thousand, old Jiang was suddenly relieved, he did not believe that he would be so clever to win the lottery. At dinner, Lao Jiang announced to his family at the dinner table that he might have bowel cancer, and wanted to seek some comfort, but no one paid attention to him, and everyone ate by themselves as if they had heard nothing. It is no wonder that old Jiang usually likes to tell the story of "the wolf is coming", and everyone's trust in him has dropped to the freezing point. Only his wife asked him how to reply after dinner, and old Jiang pretended to be relaxed and said that the doctor was scaring people.
After a few days, Old Jiang went to get the results of the examination, unfortunately he really suffered from bowel cancer, Old Jiang had some blindfolds, he went to several hospitals to test, the results showed that they were consistent, he only had a three-month survival period, and old Jiang was completely paralyzed in the corner. But life still has to go on, back home he wants to fight for more time to spend with his family, but everyone is busy with each other, they all regard him as a passerby, and Old Jiang has to find some sense of existence in front of his own dog.
Old Jiang took out a calculator to calculate how to cope with family expenses if the family did not have its own income, and he knew in his heart that the family would face collapse without his own salary. Therefore, Lao Jiang decided to make some extra money by submitting articles to the newspaper, but his wife suggested that he did not want the manuscript fee, and it was more cost-effective to exchange two tickets for a vacation to the Caribbean River. They were discussing, old Jiang received a phone call that there was a robbery, old Jiang immediately rushed to the scene to grab the first-hand information, what people did not expect was that he actually subdued a robber. However, at the press conference held by the police, the police did not mention anything about it, which inevitably made Old Jiang feel a little uncomfortable, no matter how to say that this can also be regarded as a righteous and courageous act. And the police mean that the robbers, who were not even caught by the Flying Tigers, were caught by an outsider, which will make the police lose face.
However, as a member of the news media, Lao Jiang was a little angry, but he would soon die anyway, so Lao Jiang went out and made the truth of the incident public. Old Jiang's move in this way aroused strong dissatisfaction from the police station and slammed the TV station owner. The boss was furious and scolded Old Jiang, telling him to get out of the egg immediately.
The old Jiang who woke up was like a frosted eggplant, packing up his things and leaving the company to return home, not thinking that the boss had already arrived one step ahead, and was waiting at home with a smile on his face. It turned out that Lao Jiang's "tell the truth" program was warmly praised by the audience, and the boss immediately realized the value of Lao Jiang, so he planned to spend three times the salary to hire Lao Jiang back, and use the fact that Lao Jiang was suffering from cancer to create a news program that made all Hong Kong people believe.
Old Jiang was a little moved, but through the mouth of the boss, Old Jiang's wife learned the fact that Old Jiang was suffering from cancer, and she hid in the courtyard sadly and cried. After Lao Jiang learned about it, he asked the boss to cooperate with him to play a play for his wife to see, under the operation of Lao Jiang, the wife finally believed Lao Jiang's words, but also questioned that he said that lying and deceiving people is not equivalent to robbing money? Old Jiang smiled open-mindedly, everyone is grabbing money, you don't rob there will always be people who will rob, do not rob white, not to mention that there are many places where the family needs to use money, marrying daughters to use money, sons to go to school to use money, going to the Caribbean for vacation also needs money, the wife is finally persuaded by old Jiang.
Old Jiang returned to work, this time he no longer has to worry about the boss scolding, do not have to be afraid of losing his job, old Jiang openly accused some undesirable phenomena in society without scruples. With the fact that Lao Jiang dared to tell the truth and speak out in righteousness, many black-box operations in society were publicly exposed, and the ratings of television stations soared in an instant, and Lao Jiang's reputation also rose.
As Lao Jiang's influence grew, the TV station decided to hold a funeral for Lao Jiang to further increase the ratings. The wife was afraid that Old Jiang would not be able to cry when he spoke on stage, so she quietly stuffed eye drops for Old Jiang, and when she saw her wife taking such meticulous and thoughtful care, Old Jiang cried and laughed. For this kind of deception of Lao Jiang, the eldest daughter was very disgusted, so she registered her marriage with her boyfriend without obtaining Lao Jiang's consent. Despite this, Lao Jiang still promised his wife to accompany his daughter to take wedding photos.
However, the eldest daughter accidentally found the X-ray photo taken by Lao Jiang, and she believed that her father really had bowel cancer. The next day, she changed her previous indifference to her father, and enthusiastically took his father's arm and asked: Dad, am you happier if I don't get married? Old Jiang pinched his daughter's face and said: Don't be stupid, you grow up, you will eventually marry someone. The daughter said again: Dad, I saw the X-ray. Old Jiang did not speak, but silently took his daughter's hand and sat down. Then he pulled out two plane tickets to Europe, which he had given to his daughter for his new wedding present. Then he instructed his daughter to take good care of his mother, brother and sister if he was gone, and the daughter held Old Jiang and shed tears of remorse.
Old Jiang knew that the days left for him were not much, he went to the kindergarten for the last time to pick up his little daughter from school, he asked the little daughter: Dad may go to a very far place, will you miss Dad? My daughter replied: Yes, can I call you? Old Jiang said: Long-distance calls are very expensive, don't call, what you think, Dad knows, the little daughter nodded seriously.
Back home, old Jiang wanted to enjoy another waxy dinner with his wife, they had not enjoyed the world of two people together for a long time, suddenly so grand, the wife always felt strange, but could not say what was wrong. The last time he entered the live broadcast room, Lao Jiang submitted his resignation that had been prepared, this time he was the last confession, so he did not follow the script of the TV station, but talked about a series of actions since he suffered from cancer and a series of programs tailored by the TV station to improve the ratings.
The old Jiang wife who was watching TV immediately realized something, and she hurried to the TV station. Old Jiang continued his confession, this time he was dissecting his past in the past few months from the bottom of his heart, he unabashedly explained that he had also deceived the audience, there were some things he was really not sure about, nothing in this world was certain, what he could be sure of now was that he was going to have surgery at 5 pm today, and he might never see the sun tomorrow again. For the authenticity of the media report, everyone must have a skeptical mentality, otherwise, it is possible to be deceived, just like himself, for money and ratings to easily deceive everyone.
Walking out of the live broadcast room, Lao Jiang saw his tearful wife, and he comforted her not to cry. The two came to the beach, and Lao Jiang told his wife that he had transferred all the money to her account, and then Lao Jiang took out two tickets to the Caribbean River, even if he couldn't go, he could return twenty-eight thousand yuan, and his wife was sad and unable to speak.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, the corridor of the hospital was crowded with reporters from all walks of life, ta asked Lao Jiang what else to say, many hospital representatives said that they wanted to operate for lao Jiang for free, the salesmen of the insurance company also had to insure lao Jiang for free, and all kinds of people appeared on the scene. Old Jiang pushed everyone into the operating room, and before the operation began, Old Jiang Tuo sent a note to his wife, which read: I love you. This is the last sentence that Lao Jiang left in this world, and it is also the most authentic sentence that represents his heart. The door to the operating room was closed, but Old Jiang never came out again.
This is a movie released in 1993, "Money Grabbing Couple", which describes a series of absurd behaviors of the middle-aged old Jiang who learned that he was terminally ill shortly after learning that he was terminally ill, as a husband he was a good husband, as a father he was also a good father, only as a media person he did not do so well. But there is a saying: people in the jianghu can not help themselves, as an ordinary media person he is powerless to change anything, can only go with the flow, this is also the state of life of each of us ordinary people, as individual people we all hope to have more money, one day can get ahead, no longer be oppressed by the oppression of the hard life, but often backfire, although we have worked hard and struggled, it is just an ordinary person, have to say things against the heart, do not do very moral things. We are all participants in and promoters of social adverse events, as the saying goes: under the avalanche, no snowflake is innocent.
After all, human life is limited, everyone's life has a time to come to an end, everyone wants to grab more money by any means when they are alive, but at the end of life, they will understand that money is not the most important thing in this world, and that a family is safe and secure together, which is the greatest happiness in a person's life. If you are not immersed in the scene, you will not really feel this, we will always find all kinds of excuses for ourselves that are not so honorable, always like to use moral kidnapping to scare others back and forth, however, there is never any real moral kidnapping in this world, each of us is on the shelf, if you have not felt it, when you really face death, you will find that you have already sat face to face with yourself, each of us has to face our own inner questions, so that we will go calmly. Unless you are really strong enough to let yourself go, then that is the real, invincible in the world!
