Text/Seeking the Inner Buddha
I'm the one who kneels down to people! However, from that moment, I understood one thing, you kneel down to people, it is useless, no one will pity you. One cannot kneel and talk to people, you must stand and talk to people!
Father said: Everyone should have a bowl of their own! I didn't understand it then, now I do!
Tang Wei and Chen Sicheng, as Ning Xiaoya and Jin Guisheng
"Children of Hongqiqu" is an oldER TV series, and many of the heroes and heroines in it have now become well-known actors: Li Xinyi, Duan Yihong, Chen Sicheng, Tang Wei, Han Tongsheng, and Wang Baoqiang.
So far, there are two TV series that have made me cry, one is "Several Degrees of Chrysanthemum Fragrance", and the other is "The Children of HongqiQu".
The plot of this drama is particularly inspirational, mainly telling the story of how rural people walked out of the mountains and struggled to take root and survive in the city.
It's a painful process: rural people are poor, have no academic qualifications, have no special handpower, and even have difficulty supporting themselves. In the play, the male and female protagonists are finally able to rely on themselves to gain a foothold in the big city after experiencing various transformations of human nature. I have to say that this is a good drama that reflects real life and struggle.
Many of us spend our entire lives just ordinary people, and 80% of our time revolve around 3 things: money, love, and career. Many people can find their own shadow in this drama.
Duan Yihong as Daqun
01 Money
Li Xinyi as Yu Xiaolian
At the beginning of the plot, Yu Xiaolian's parents received 8,000 yuan from the Large Group family to "marry" their daughter to the Large Group.
Yu Xiaolian feels that this is an arranged marriage, which is the behavior of parents to "sell" their daughters for money, and they are thinking of running away from marriage with their high school classmate Jin Guisheng. She took Jin Guisheng's hand and ran to the city to join Jin Guisheng's father, Jin Wattle. In today's parlance, Golden Wattle is a contractor foreman at a construction site, and a group of migrant workers under his hands feed on him.
During the period, Jin Guisheng made an appointment with Yu Xiaolian: one day, at a certain moment, the two met in a certain place.
Thunder and thunder fall from the sky. On the day they met, Jin Guisheng's father, Jin Wadao, suddenly fell ill. It turned out that JinWadao had been looking for money from Manager Qin without success. After a few months of delay, the migrant workers not only had no wages, but also had no living expenses, they all went on strike and spoke ill of the golden wattle knife.
Yu Xiaolian did not wait for Jin Guisheng, thinking that Jin Guisheng did not want her. Lonely and miserable, Yu Xiaolian, living on the street alone, had no money to eat, and finally one day starved. Fortunately, they were rescued by a kind girl named Nana and brought back to their residence, and the two of them relied on each other for their lives and worked hard together in the big city: just to be able to have a bite to eat and a place to sleep.
On the other hand, Jin Wadao took his son Jin Guisheng to ask Manager Qin for money, and Manager Qin did not give it, and Jin Guisheng "pounced" on Manager Qin's knees in front of his father. Manager Qin was very impressed, but still refused to give money.
Forced to be cornered, the golden tile knife wrote down the words "father's debt and son's repayment" and went away with hatred. Jin Guisheng held up the sign written by his father with both hands, "Father's Debt repayment", knelt on the construction site, and was watched by all the workers...
This scene was just seen by another girl named Ning Xiaoya.
02 Love
Tang Wei as Ning Xiaoya
By coincidence, Ning Xiaoya's father, Director Ning, pulled jin Guisheng at a critical moment and gave him the project of the university campus. This project made Ning Xiaoya and Jin Guisheng mixed, Ning Xiaoya found that she was actually in love with Jin Guisheng, she rejected the bitter pursuit of her classmate Xiao Feng, but Jin Guisheng has always been in love with Xiaolian.
Many times, love is like this, he loves you, you love him, but he doesn't love you, it's hard to understand.
On the other side, Yu Xiaolian, who was separated from Jin Guisheng, came to the dance hall to work under the leadership of Nana. Unexpectedly, I happened to meet a large group of people who had been searching for him. This made Yu Xiaolian very annoyed, thinking that he was chasing for the 8,000 yuan.
In fact, large groups also come to big cities to make a living. A large group of younger brothers and two groups came to their uncle's construction site and began to work hard in the big city. After that, the large group went to find Yu Xiaolian many times, but they were all turned away.
Yu Xiaolian took her roommate Nana as a shield.
Surprisingly, after the large group and Nana gradually became acquainted, they found that their fates were similar:
In the face of real life, they both live very depressed, and the two people who are very powerless by the reality of life and the cruelty of society, with their own wounded hearts, under the magic of love, gradually come together.
However, every time Yu Xiaolian came to look for Jin Guisheng, she would find that Ning Xiaoya and Jin Guisheng were particularly close. Yu Xiaolian was extremely disappointed in Jin Guisheng!
Heartbroken, Yu Xiaolian devoted all her energy to her career.
03 Career
Feng Xiaomeng as Erqun
Yu Xiaolian could not bear the kind of work in the dance hall. To make a living, she began to learn to sell box lunches by herself. It's a difficult process: a girl's family, pushing a car full of box lunches, goes out early, and worries about what to do if it doesn't sell out every day.
The Emperor did not pay off, Yu Xiaolian's box lunch business gradually improved, at least to be able to make himself self-reliant in the big city, so that his heart had a place to live. After the busyness, Yu Xiaolian still thinks of Jin Guisheng.
The large group of people who work at his uncle's construction site are very smart people, and he secretly learns the technique while doing miscellaneous work. When the conditions were ripe, he took his younger brother and the second group, separated from his uncle, and had ambitions to start his own business.
On the other hand, jin Guisheng, with the help of Ning Xiaoya, gradually regained his self-confidence and grew into an iron-blooded man like his father JinWadao, and his career finally improved.
Daqun and Jin Guisheng began to compete in their careers, better than who bought the car and whose office was bigger.
In the process of working hard in her career, Yu Xiaolian did the box lunch business on Jin Guisheng's construction site, became bigger and stronger, and even opened a chain store, and saved enough money to owe a large group of families with her own efforts. She was finally able to pay it back, but unfortunately the crowd didn't ask for her money.
One day, a worker named Xiao Luo on jin Guisheng's construction site suddenly "disappeared" from the hospital: Xiao Luo had just finished surgery, and the threads on his body had not been removed and he ran away!
According to the workers' analysis, Xiao Luo ran to hide from the medical expenses of more than 10,000 yuan.
Gui Sheng sighed with emotion, for the sake of money even life can not be, are poor words!
Jin Guisheng found Xiao Luo, Xiao Luo's knife edge was rotting and maggots, Gui Sheng scolded Xiao Luo and scolded Xiao Luo for living as a maggot! Xiao Luo said:
You scold, I'm just a maggot!
Jin Guisheng said:
You ran from the countryside to the city, why? Just to get maggots, just to rot here? A person who even looks down on himself, who else can look down on?
In the end, Xiao Luo worked to pay back the money and became a powerful general on the Construction Site of Jin Guisheng!
04 There is no savior in the world, everything depends on oneself
Huo Yaming as Rabbit
At the end of "The Children of HongqiQu", Jin Guisheng, Ning Xiaoya, and Yu Xiaolian, the relationship between the three is an open-ended ending.
Nana bore a daughter to The Crowd and waited for the Group to be released from prison. After being released from prison, Yu Xiaolian finally returned the 8,000 yuan to the group with profits, as well as his women and children...
I summed up that there are two main reasons why this drama can make me cry: one is that I basically didn't watch TV dramas much when I grew up; second, I was also a poor child from the depths of the mountains who came to the big city to work hard, and I really understand the hardships!
Life in the big city is full of lights, and many times we are confused, and even forget where we came from and where we are going.
In this "big forest" of steel and mud, everything is very cruel, and many times we have hit our heads and broken the blood, only to understand such a little truth!
