In the gripping social TV series "Hurricane", Gao Qiqiang's image follows him like a shadow. A brave and resolute boss who kills people without blinking, his heroic demeanor is still fresh in people's memories. However, it is interesting to note that in a world where black and white moral boundaries are intertwined, he chooses the principle of killing people without touching his hands, but avoids drug trafficking. Why is that?
Gao Qiqiang, originally from an ordinary bottom, worked hard for his livelihood. He gradually rose from a small vendor to become the leader of the Jinghai gang. The process is full of twists and turns, and it is a microcosm of how an ordinary person can go on the path of gangsterism because of environmental persecution. The pressure of life and the responsibility of his family made him grit his teeth in the face of adversity, and finally became the hegemon of the party admired by everyone.
The brotherhood is deep but incomprehensible, and the relationship between Gao Qiqiang and Gao Qisheng is like a double-edged sword in the plot. Gao Qisheng is very smart, but he stumbles on the road of no return to drug trafficking. The disputes and contradictions between brothers analyze the complexity of human nature and the dilemma of the family. Gao Qiqiang's stance of protecting Gao Qisheng and avoiding drug trafficking makes the two brothers the most eye-catching fetters in the play.
Gao Qiqiang is the leader of the gang and holds the power of life and death, but his fear of drug trafficking is one of the plots that the audience did not expect. In the TV series, Gao Qiqiang was filled with righteous indignation after learning that his younger brother was involved in the drug business, and did not hesitate to stop this wrong path. Why, then, is a scheming, ruthless character afraid of drug trafficking?
The story begins by chance, Gao Qiqiang unexpectedly becomes the leader of the Jinghai gang. The injustice of life and the oppression at the bottom allowed him to find a place in the world. However, by portraying Gao Qiqiang's principles of life, the director skillfully avoided the two extreme crimes of murder and drug trafficking, presenting a richer and more complex character to the audience.
There are multiple reasons for this. First of all, by creating Gao Qiqiang's bottom line, the director made the audience see in him an existence with a moral orientation even in the dark world. This contrast enhances the audience's sense of empathy and makes the characters more realistic.
Secondly, taking into account the principles of socialist film and television creation and choosing to avoid showing negative behaviors, the director pulled Gao Qiqiang away from the moral red line of drug trafficking, making the whole story more in line with censorship requirements. This also makes Gao Qiqiang no longer just a gang leader, but more like a gray character who swings between black and white.
In "Hurricane", Gao Qiqiang's character is not only the epitome of the social class jump, but also the combination of the brilliance and darkness of human nature. He is not afraid of killing people and plotting to turn things around, but he hesitates because of the road of drug trafficking. Through such character settings, the director not only increases the depth of the plot, but also leaves the audience a lot of room for thinking. Perhaps, in Gao Qiqiang's body, we can see the complexity of human nature, the bitterness of life, and the process of how an ordinary person once found light in the dark.
