The TV series "In the Name of the People" has set off a wave of drama watching craze across the country. Through vivid characterization and a gripping plot, the show successfully reveals the ugly side of power corruption and business traps. Among them, the life trajectory of Zhao Ruilong's character is even more thought-provoking. As the son of the "Emperor of the Soil", he is in the shadow of power, full of the heat and coldness of the world, even if he orders 100 beauties to accompany him and consumes 200,000 yuan a night, he is still angry outside.
Zhao Ruilong's life is comparable to an absurd fable of reality. He has a prominent background, is the only son of Zhao Lichun, and has lived under the protection of power and luxury since he was a child. This unique identity doomed him to an unusual fate, but at the same time, it also buried all kinds of contradictions and struggles.
Zhao Ruilong's business success does not stop at a symbol of power, and the Shanshui Group he founded has made a name for itself in the business world. However, this seemingly brilliant success was not a golden one. He is flamboyant, overly open-minded, and unafraid of the pursuit of greater success. However, this overly flamboyant personality became his Achilles' heel. His lack of credibility in his business dealings, and his promises to his partners often come to naught, ultimately leading to the dissatisfaction of his partners, a contradiction that plunges his business empire into turmoil.
However, Zhao's contradictions are not limited to the business sector. As Zhao Lichun's son, he enjoys the protection of his father's power, but it is difficult to get rid of his inner troubles. His dependence on Zhao Lichun contrasts sharply with his desire for independence, and this inherent sense of contradiction deepens his role.
His face-to-face with his partner Du Bozhong and his repeated encounters with Gao Yuliang in his relationship with him all profoundly show his struggles in interpersonal relationships. Especially in the conversation with Hou Liangping, Zhao Ruilong's pale and angry expression revealed his weakness in the face of power.
However, we can't help but wonder why Zhao Ruilong is in a high position, but he is frequently frustrated in the business and social arenaWhy is it that under the protection of his power, he frequently hits a wall in interpersonal relationships?
First of all, Zhao Ruilong's business methods are too flamboyant, and he lacks sincere trust in his partners and a deep understanding of social situations. He tried to bribe Gao Yuliang with a French meal, but did not take into account the other party's tastes;When he gave gifts to Hou Liang, he didn't understand the other party's preferences. This shallow way of interacting has led to repeated failures in business and social situations.
Secondly, Zhao Ruilong's success is mainly dependent on his father's power. He used Zhao Lichun's power to exclude dissidents and obtained many projects that earned him billions of dollars. If Zhao Lichun's power is put aside, is Zhao Ruilong's business and social skills sufficient, and will he be able to gain a foothold in the competitive business world?
Finally, we have to mention the complex relationship between Zhao Ruilong and Gao Yuliang. Gao Yuliang, as a senior anti-corruption figure, did not help Zhao Ruilong early in the play, what is the reason?
Gao Yuliang and Zhao Ruilong once had conflicts over the food city project, but the deeper reason is that Gao Yuliang saw through the essence of Zhao Ruilong. He thinks that Zhao Ruilong is a dou who can't be supported, and no matter how powerful a kingdom is established for him, he can't escape the fate of defeat. Gao Yuliang's unique vision enables him to distinguish between right and wrong at critical moments, stick to the bottom line, and not be shaken by power.
In In The Name of the People, Zhao Ruilong's life trajectory is a profound allegory that reveals the pitfalls and corruption in the sea of power and business. His failure was not accidental, but the inevitable result of a series of moral choices and life trade-offs. Zhao Ruilong, the son of the "Emperor of the Soil", even if he ordered 100 beauties to accompany him and spent 200,000 yuan a night, he was still wandering on the lost path of power and conspiracy, but he would never have a clear understanding of human nature, human feelings and the true meaning of life. Perhaps, it is in this interweaving of absurdity and reality that the audience can reflect more deeply on the corruption problem in reality, remind themselves to maintain sensitivity to good and evil, good and evil, and strive to pursue a more clear society.
