In "In the Name of the People", a TV series with the theme of anti-crime and evil, the life trajectories of Lin Huahua, a department-level cadre, and Zhou Zheng, an investigator, are like two parallel lines, but they intersect and collide in the plot, showing the richness and colorfulness of life. Lin Huahua used 300 pieces of lipstick and more than 1,000 yuan of Lancôme cosmetics, but Zhou Zheng, who was extremely critical of every penny, made the audience think about the true meaning of life in laughter and tears.
Lin Huahua, a senior cadre, can easily ignite the whole picture with a 200 yuan lipstick. Every time she appears, she is like a work of art, showing the high pursuit of quality of life. The Lancôme cosmetics she loves are not only an external beauty, but also a recognition of her self-worth and her pursuit of a quality life. This lifestyle not only highlights the image of the independent and autonomous modern woman, but also demonstrates the persistence in the relentless pursuit of quality of life. Lin Huahua's extravagant consumption habits don't seem to match her status as a senior cadre, but it is this difference that makes her character image fuller and provides more possibilities for the development of the story. In stark contrast to Lin Huahua's extravagance is Zhou Zheng, a scout who can't help but laugh. His lifestyle habits make people smile, not only cautious in large spending, but also in daily small expenses. He insisted on not being willing to spend more with a penny, as if he was a modern version of the God of Wealth, who saw every penny more clearly than the numbers on the ledger.
Zhou Zheng's slamming of the door is not because he is poor, but a life choice that is deeply rooted in personal beliefs. He believes that excessive material pursuits do not necessarily bring true happiness and satisfaction, and that a simple and frugal lifestyle allows people to focus on the essence of life and spiritual abundance. It is in such a collision of extravagant and slamming life philosophy that the relationship between Lin Huahua and Zhou Zheng has been deepened. Lin Huahua uses high-end cosmetics to give himself confidence and charm, while Zhou Zheng shows a sense of planning and responsibility for the future by controlling consumption and savings. The contrast between the two not only brings laughter, but also gives the whole story a deep emotion. The reason why the director chose to show the contrast between the two attitudes to life in this way may be to provoke the audience to think about material and spiritual values. This collision not only provides laughter, but also presents a vivid example of how to strike a balance between material pursuits and inner needs for modern audiences.
In the development of the plot, although Lin Huahua and Zhou Zheng have very different lifestyles, they eventually find a balance that allows the relationship to develop and deepen. This balance comes from respect and understanding of each other's values. Lin Huahua began to appreciate the stability and sense of responsibility that Zhou Zheng's frugality brought to her, and Zhou Zheng gradually understood Lin Huahua's pursuit of quality of life and learned to make appropriate investments for her happiness when necessary.
Zhou Zheng showed understanding and respect for her needs in his pursuit of Lin Huahua. He did not try to change Lin Huahua's consumption habits, but showed his charm and value in other ways. Zhou Zheng's tolerance and maturity, through listening, understanding and support to Lin Huahua, laid a solid foundation for the relationship between the two.
In the Name of the People presents the dialectic of life through the collision of Lin Huahua and Zhou Zheng's life philosophy. Extravagance and frugality, material and spiritual, in this contrast, the characters are fleshed out and the storyline is deepened. Through such a unique expression, the director guides the audience to think about the conflict between truth and falsehood, value and values in life. Perhaps, in the midst of laughter and tears, we can understand the true meaning of life more deeply.
