In "The World", the deep friendship between the six friends for 50 years is shown, which is both touching and chilling. They grew up together, experienced the companionship of teenagers, and went into their own homes in middle age, plagued by the pressures of life and material troubles. These six people grew up together in the Guangzi area, and they have a deep friendship with each other, support and help each other, and face the ups and downs of life together. However, with the intensification of life pressures such as family changes and career difficulties, the friendship between them gradually faded, and the courtesy and personal debt between each other gradually disappeared.
Their fates are different, some have unfortunately passed away, some have worked hard to get on the right track, and some have given everything for their families. Among these people, Zhou Bingkun has always been a good friend who helps others regardless of return. But what is heart-wrenching is that Debao is playing tricks behind his back and betraying his friends, which makes the group of people get together less and less, until they finally break up.
After reading "The World", I deeply felt the helplessness of the impermanence of life and the changes in interpersonal relationships. Although they once had a lifelong friendship, this friendship faded into oblivion as time went on and the pressures of life increased. And a good person like Zhou Bingkun is sincere and enthusiastic about people, and everyone hopes to cherish and maintain this friendship for a long time. But the reality is cruel, and Debao's behavior reminds us that the complexity and darkness of the human heart are always unpredictable. The message and meaning of the original text were kept as much as possible, while using more fluent and expressive language:
Let this group of people be touched by their conscience in their hearts, and they will be grateful. After Nan Nan's innocent death, the lives of his friends became more and more difficult, and his wife Zheng Juan was deeply shocked. People who value righteousness are thousands of miles away, scarred. If you understand the whole play, you can understand that Bingkun is far away from distractions after losing his son in middle age, and he can understand the evil of human nature.
It's the innocent years of friendship that are haunting. The more the flame of friendship grows, the more flavorful the aftertaste. In the past, we advocated "don't forget each other's wealth", but later there was such a fallatic heresy as "whoever is developed, he will cling to whomever he is". Looking at the six little gentlemen in "The World", their stories are so poignant.
Before we started a family, we talked happily about the long way we lived. However, after starting a family, we were troubled by firewood, rice, oil and salt, children's milk powder money, and our wife's nagging, and we were restless. After being unemployed, we are idle at home, and we want to rely on others. Zhou Bingkun knows very well how much sin he has to suffer if he meets a poor friend. After meeting the noble Shao Jingwen, he was admitted to the career establishment and ran a restaurant and a bookstore at the same time. For his friend's wife and sister, he did his best to work in the bookstore.
In the mediocre social circle, he is the only one who mixes well. He helped his family improve the environment and went above and beyond as a family. The family had no place to live on National Day, and he couldn't stand by and help solve the housing problem. After catching up with the accident of selling southern rubber shoes, he generously relieved the siege. On National Day, he had no job and no background, and he trusted his brother's relationship and arranged for him to enter the factory as a security guard. How innocent friendship was then! They sang loudly, and the affection at the same starting point was indestructible.
In the original book, Bingkun described the conflict with his brother in order to help his friend, and the brother repeatedly shirked responsibility, and Bingkun scolded his brother for not having a sense of public morality. When he was old, Zhou Bingyi, as the deputy mayor, wanted to give some money to his younger brothers and friends. However, Bingkun expressed strong dissatisfaction with this. The few remaining people among the six little gentlemen looked at the banknotes in their hands and felt sorry for their good buddies.
In Zhou Bingkun's interpersonal communication, the interests of friends always come first. He has always adhered to this principle: make a fortune without forgetting his roots, make a lot of money and fund it if he can, and admit it calmly if he can't do anything. Zhou Bingkun is straightforward, regardless of grudges, and is willing to stick a knife in his friend's ribs. His sincerity and integrity are admirable and an example for people to follow. In the work "The World", the deeper you go, the more you can understand a subtle "real secret" - sometimes, friends are not only used to accompany and share, the best of them, those friends who have a successful career, can become the cornerstone of family economic stability.
The ending of the "Six Little Gentlemen" varies, some start and finish well, some leave alone, and some are just passers-by in life. They used to be as close as brothers, whether they were in the Red Star Wood Processing Factory or the Songhuajiang Soy Sauce Factory, they all commuted to and from work together, and won the trust of Mrs. Qu. But the years go by, time is ruthless, and I foolishly believe that friendship can last forever, but I ignore the changes in the real world.
There is a touching plot in the book, Debao, Lu Chuan and Bingkun are assigned to the slag workshop because of their progress, and they propose to the leader together. I want time to stop forever at that moment, when they are innocent and flawless, sharing joys and sorrows. However, the boat of fate ruthlessly pushes them into their respective paths of life.
Debao and Chunyan came together, but life after marriage was not easy. Three years later, their housing problems are getting worse; 19 years later, their only son, Cao Yuanfang, failed the college entrance examination. And Lu Chuan has been smooth sailing in his official career, but as his circle expands, his contact with his old friends has gradually drifted apart. As for Xiangyang, he successfully joined Lulutong Company.
Teenage friendships stand the test of time, while adult friendships are often shattered by the pressures of reality. When it comes to profit and fame, friendship may lose its purity and beauty. Through the ups and downs, the former close friends have become estranged. Friendship is no longer a dependence on each other, but a helping hand in a difficult situation. Therefore, when Wu Qian was deceived into buying a house at Bingkun's house, she asked Bingkun to find a job for the National Day, and her words were full of eagerness and anxiety: "Are you trying to force us to death?" ”
Life needs to stay away from those so-called "friends" who only care about their own interests, and mutual benefit should be the basic bottom line of our friends. However, not everyone can be as selfless and kind as Zhou Bingkun, who is thoughtful. The bleak experiences of old age have taught them that true friends are those who can go through the storms and share the joys together. The friendship of middle-aged people is more complex and realistic, and it is no longer a simple gathering and talking. As their respective families and responsibilities increased, gatherings among friends gradually decreased and were replaced by mutual flattery and superficial courtesy. What was once a deep friendship has become so unattainable.
Therefore, we need to learn to distinguish between real and fake friends in complex interpersonal relationships. Cherish those who can support and help you in times of difficulty, and stay away from those who only look out for their own interests. Only in this way can we find true support and support in the journey of life. The sophistication of people and the friendship between friends can sometimes really help us solve our problems. But it is inevitable to hurt others under the banner of selling miserably. When the relationship becomes estranged, it no longer has the cherishing it once had, and it loses its value. A true friend should lend a helping hand to you when you are in trouble, rather than choosing to stay away. On this road of life, sometimes it takes one person to walk bravely, which may be more difficult than walking together with a group of people.
The friendship between friends can sometimes be so profound that they share weal and woe, just like the National Day and catching up. Although they are in a difficult situation, they still support each other, and this friendship can last. And those friends who are full of malice in their hearts and keep doing things that hurt you should cut off the relationship as soon as possible. The plots described in the original book, such as Zhou Bingkun's imprisonment and Lu Chuan and Tang Xiangyang's failure to visit, gave me a deep understanding of what true friendship is. Those who have experienced ups and downs together, such as National Day and Catch-up, reached out when the Zhou family needed help the most. Such a friend is trustworthy.
12 years later, when Zhou Bingkun was released from prison, the warm welcome of the two families of National Day and Catch-up made Bingkun feel warm. They don't have too many extravagances, they just want to make a good living with their own efforts. Bingkun is a responsible and caring person, and he was very moved after knowing all this. Although he faced many difficulties in his later years, his love for Zheng Juan remained the same. As for the rest of the "Six Little Gentlemen", their later life was full of challenges. The death of her sister Xiao Ning, who caught up, and the kidney disease on the National Day, all of which made them feel that life was not easy. The reunion between Artesian Water and Xiang Yang on the occasion of death also makes people sigh at the arrangement of fate. Xiang Yang is now a senior executive of Lulutong Company, but he did not give Guoqing a chance to survive.
The drama "The World" shows the complexity and cruelty of human nature, and also reveals the regrets, glory and ordinary lives of young people in the early 50s. In the face of the oppression of life and the coldness of the world, everyone may change and no longer care about the past friendship. After reading "The World", I deeply felt the impermanence and changes of life, and I also cherished those who are always by my side. In all the love in the world, we see the essence of indecision. Behind this, there are those fresh, flesh-and-blood men in Liang Xiaosheng's pen, who have painted a picture of life with joys and sorrows for us. Among them, the most pitiful is Zhou Bingkun. When he came out of prison, his life was eclipsed and his vision was gone. How many of those former friends are now willing to lend a hand?
What's even more heart-wrenching is that Zhou Bingkun's niece Zhou Yue fell in love with a family man. This caused the Zhou family to fall into a turmoil, and no one was immune. For Bingkun, although his later life was not lonely, it was full of depression. His life has been mediocre, and he has a premonition about prison and his future life. At the end of the original work, we see that the 6 little gentlemen each went to a different fate. In order to live, Zhou Bingkun had to accept a heavy physical job. And he ran a tricycle with Catch-up, which also became a part of their lives. In the face of the departure and changes of his friends, he did not cry, but endured all this silently. He understands that the friendship in this world is like 6 little gentlemen, there will always be partings and reunions.
So, is there really an eternal friendship in this world? It remains an unsolved mystery to this day. And in this work, the friendship and companionship in "The World" become a unique theme. Even though the years have passed, the friendship between Catch Up and Bingkun has always been the same. Together, they work hard for their children's education and prepare for their future lives. This kind of friendship of sharing weal and woe is deeply precious.
For Zhou Bingkun, it is difficult to find close friends, and when you meet them, you must cherish them. Although life is full of uncertainties and challenges, with the company and support of friends, everything will not be so difficult. In this work, "The World" shows us a touching friendship and companionship, allowing us to deeply appreciate the sincerity and beauty of life.
