In fact, in a way, human nature is selfish. We will all criticize those who bribe in film and television dramas, but when we don't consider the legal consequences when facing power and money, how many people will refuse?
Why do many of us like or sympathize with Gao Qiqiang and Qi Tongwei, but feel disgusted or ridiculous with An Xin and Hou Liangping? It's because of humanity!
People are always selfish, and we think that the results of an ordinary person's struggle are worthy of resonance, because they have also experienced the difficulties of ordinary people who have no power and no money. For those who set the perfect plan from the beginning, it is like the rich second generation inheriting the family business, which makes us people envious and jealous but helpless. Their interests sometimes affect the interests of the common people, and in reality, there are very few high-ranking people like An Xin and Hou Liangping who are still clean officials.
So we will connect with reality and hate the protagonists of these two dramas very much.
From another point of view, aren't people like Xiang An Xin or Hou Liangping what the people need the most? They will also look for connections, and there are also background backers or power struggles above unspoken rules, but the struggles in their circles have little to do with us ordinary people. And in the end, those who win like them often have that conscience to uphold the so-called justice and do their duty. That's still better.
So putting aside the power games in their circles, putting aside our thoughts and emotions, in reality we still have to unconditionally and finally support those so-called decency.
