In the movie "I Am Not a Medicine God", zhang Changlin, a counterfeit drug dealer, said a sentence to Cheng Yong that must be remembered by the audience who has seen the film.
He said that there is only one disease in this world that cannot be cured, and that is the disease of poverty.
Many people regard this sentence as the truth, and Zhang Changlin has expressed the voice of countless patients.
Although many diseases are now included in the scope of medical insurance reimbursement, a serious illness will still make an ordinary family fall into the abyss.
Many people's circle of friends have brushed the information of the water drop fundraising, easy fundraising and other serious illness fundraising platforms.
Seeing the fundraising information posted or forwarded by those familiar friends, you may have also reached out to help.
The cost of hundreds of thousands of treatments has deterred many ordinary families.
There was a copy on the vibrato, saying that it was a farmer who went to see a doctor, the doctor told him that it was cancer, the farmer turned away after hearing it, the doctor asked him how he was not cured, the farmer said that if he was cured, the family would be destroyed and the wealth would be empty, if not treated, the family would not be empty.
Yes, who is not afraid of death, but many times there is no way, the helplessness of life makes people want to cure and dare not cure.
Back to our topic today.
Poverty is terrible, but the laws of human nature hidden under the word poor are also chilling.
And the movie "I Am Not a Medicine God" cleverly exposes this to the audience.
In the film, Cheng Yong flew to India to bring back a batch of imitation Glenin, and after returning to China, a bottle of medicine sold for 5,000 yuan, the price is one-seventh of the genuine Glenin.
At first, many patients did not believe that the drugs he sold could cure their diseases, so Cheng Yong found Sihui in desperation, which opened up the sales of drugs.
Cheng Yong simply won the right to imitate Glenin in the country, which was originally a good thing to kill two birds with one stone, Cheng Yong made money, and patients also bought low-cost drugs with exactly the same efficacy.
However, one of the patients took his medicine, his condition deteriorated and he was admitted to the hospital, and the family brought people to Cheng Yong's shop to make trouble, saying that Cheng Yong sold them fake drugs.
Cheng Yong was very angry, saying that his medicine was no problem for others to eat, and there was a problem with what they had eaten, whether they themselves had eaten some medicine from an unknown source, and now they were in turn relying on their own heads.
After inquiring carefully, it turned out that the family not only bought the imitation Glenin from Cheng Yong, but also bought the so-called German Glenin from the fake expert Zhang Changlin, and Zhang Changlin's German Glenlin was cheaper, as long as 2,000 yuan can buy a bottle.
Why did something go wrong, the families of these patients did not go to Zhang Changlin, did not suspect that There was a problem with Zhang Changlin's medicine, but suspected that Cheng Yong's medicine had a problem?
Because they are all confused by Zhang Changlin's perfect personality, in their eyes Zhang Changlin is a medical expert who treats diseases and saves people, and Cheng Yong is a person, he is just a small merchant and peddler who sells Indian god oil.
One is a medical expert, dressed in bright clothes to open medical seminars, and the other is a god oil peddler, who sells a medicine and sneaks around, making it look like a secret agent joint.
In other words, it is you, when something goes wrong, who is responsible first.
More importantly, no matter whose medicine has a problem, the medicine sold by Cheng Yong is 3,000 yuan more expensive than the medicine sold by Zhang Changlin, which is Cheng Yong's problem.
Even if Cheng Yong's medicine is not a problem, the patient's family also thinks that cheng Yong's problem is because there are cheaper drugs, because they feel that Cheng Yong has made black money.
In Cheng Yong's eyes, although he is not a savior, he has prolonged the lives of many patients, but in the eyes of some patients' families, Cheng Yong is a businessman, and the relationship between them is between buyers and sellers, grateful that it does not exist, and if there is a problem, he still has to find Cheng Yong's trouble, which is the selfish and complicated side of human nature.
Cheng Yong took people to listen to Zhang Changlin's medical lecture, and found that it was overcrowded, Zhang Changlin spat on the stage and flew around, passionately talking about the benefits of German Glenin, and specially invited a few to stage a touching and heartfelt thanksgiving drama for this purpose.
If it were not for the priest coming to the stage to expose his lies and say that German Glenin was a fake drug, Zhang Changlin would have made millions of dollars after a medical seminar.
The Swiss pharmaceutical company Glenin discovered the imitation Glenin sold on the black market, believing that these generic drugs were harmful to the interests of their company, so they pressured the police to arrest the drug dealers who sold counterfeit drugs.
But why did the real counterfeit drug dealer Zhang Changlin openly sell German Glenin, and even give lectures in a dignified manner, why did the Swiss pharmaceutical company not care?
Zhang Changlin made such a big fuss about medical seminars to promote German Glenin, wouldn't the Swiss pharmaceutical company know?
In fact, the most direct reason: Zhang Changlin sold after all is a fake drug, the patient is not a fool, eat Zhang Changlin's medicine found no effect, back or have to buy genuine drugs.
But Cheng Yong sold imitation Glenin it can really cure the disease of patients, if this generic drug is allowed to circulate in the market, it will be a disaster for Swiss pharmaceutical companies.
Cao Bin conducted an investigation into the Indian generic drug, came back to tell the director, said that this drug is not a fake drug, this drug can really cure the disease and save people, the genuine drug is close to 40,000 bottles, this is only 5,000 pieces.
The director took the medicine in his hand and asked coldly: Was it smuggled? Cao Bin: Yes.
DIRECTOR: Is there a medical manual? Cao Bin: No.
DIRECTOR: That's not a fake drug. Cao Bin was speechless.
Is there a problem with the Director's words? No problem, everything is done according to laws and principles, but don't such laws and principles feel too cold-blooded in some way?
So much so that when we look back at this question, we judge whether a medicine is a real medicine, whether it can save people or whether it does not conform to the law.
From the patient's point of view, as long as it can cure the disease, it is a real medicine, and from the perspective of the manager, as long as it does not comply with the law, it is a fake drug.
No one has an answer to who is right and who is wrong.
The reason is very simple, will the patient say that I support 40,000 bottles of genuine drugs, we want to protect intellectual property rights, life is almost gone, will also consider protecting intellectual property rights?
Zhang Changlin, who sells counterfeit drugs, in the name of a medical expert, hangs up sheep's heads and sells dog meat, and pits the common people and no one cares: Cheng Yong, who sells medicines to treat diseases and save people, is said to be selling fake drugs, and the police will turn the city upside down and find him out.
What is even more funny is that Zhang Changlin sold German Glenin for several years without incident, and he was wanted by the police less than half a year after selling Indian imitation Glennin.
At the end of the film, Cheng Yong was sentenced to 5 years in prison for smuggling and selling counterfeit drugs.
When the police car drove out of the court, the patients who were favored by the process bravely stood on both sides of the road and staged a ten-mile long street to send Cheng Yong, which touched many people.
However, when Cheng Yong was released from prison early after receiving a commutation of sentence, the only person who came to pick him up was his former brother-in-law Cao Bin.
Some people say that it is because everyone does not know the news of Cheng Yong's early release from prison, so no one comes to the prison to pick him up.
Personally, I think this statement is actually not true, if you really have a heart, how can you not know the day when Cheng Yong was released from prison?
Didn't these people who had been favored by him come to visit him in prison during Cheng Yong's imprisonment?
But whoever came to visit him in prison did not even know the day on which he was released.
On this question, Cao Bin's answer may give us the answer.
Cao Bin warned Cheng Yong not to sell fake drugs after he was released from prison, and now no one buys Indian medicines, because the genuine drugs have already entered medical insurance.
Entering the medical insurance means something, which means that patients can spend less money to buy genuine drugs, which means that everyone no longer needs generic drugs, and it means that Cheng Yong, who once took the risk of buying drugs for everyone, is forgotten.
And people are the best at forgetting.
