Watching this play, we will inevitably sit in the right place. Song Yunhui represents the state-owned economy, Lei Dongbao represents the collective economy and Yang Xun represents the individual economy. Through their struggles, we can see a magnificent history of reform and opening up. And we are still in this historical process, so we will feel quite familiar with it.
But to understand this drama, to understand the people in it, and even to understand us outside it, we can't do without the English name of this drama: Like a Flowing River, a big river flowing forward.
"Autumn is coming, and all rivers are full of rivers." When it comes to rivers, we will definitely think of complicated relationships. After all, no matter how wide the river is, it is also a stream in all directions. The word "relationship" runs through "Big Rivers 2".
Loyalty is the first in a relationship. Rivers converge into "us" and we are not allowed to betray.
Song Yunhui left Jinzhou Chemical Plant for Donghai Project Team. In the eyes of Director Cheng, this is a betrayal, but he is helpless. Song Yunhui bypassed the ministries and went to other systems to seek approval for the East China Sea project. In the eyes of Xiao La and the people in the Ministry, this is a betrayal.
After the explosion of the copper factory, Lei Dongbao married Wei Chunhong, the owner of the restaurant, at the suggestion of Chen Pingyuan, in order to get a loan from the bank for Xiao Lei's family. Song Yunhui knew that he was angry and his parents couldn't accept it. This is a betrayal of their family relationship.
In order to develop in the East China Sea, Yang Xun wants to sell Yangzi Street Market. In Lei Dongbao's view, it was out of control and a betrayal of him.
We should also pay attention to keeping a low profile in relationships. We should not highlight ourselves, but the role of others or the collective.
For Director Cheng's family, Song Yunhui's success today is mainly due to the support of Director Cheng's family. Otherwise, he is a small technician. In the words of his great uncle, Song Yunhui is a dog in their family.
Song Yunhui didn't see his role clearly. First he jumped out of Jinzhou, and then he became the executive deputy director of Donghai Factory. He buried himself in his career and didn't highlight the role of Cheng Jia at all. He even dared to say to Cheng Jia at last: Please don't interfere with my work. Can the old family stop here?
Say one more thing, Lei Dongbao was imprisoned for bribing Chen Pingyuan. When Song Yunhui went to Lao Xu to intercede, Lao Xu's words were even more sobering:
Our reform has always been to cross the river by feeling the stones, and some people rushed to the front first because of certain opportunities. At that time, it seemed that they violated laws and regulations, but later the system caught up with them and almost saved them from their sins. On the one hand, encourage them to be bolder and dare to do it. On the other hand, it also makes Dongbao people mistakenly think that the government can acquiesce in their repeated violations of laws and regulations.
To be honest, when I saw this, I thought of Jack Ma, the spokesman of rural teachers, and I understood that sentence a little: there is no so-called Jack Ma era, only Jack Ma in the era.
It is more important to talk about human feelings in relationships. China has been a human society since ancient times, and the river society is no exception.
Director Cheng retired and deliberately played the role of the poor in front of Song Yunhui, just to give his son Cheng a good future. Song Yunhui found Min Zhongsheng and transferred his incompetent eldest brother to the new workshop as a full-time deputy secretary. This is human kindness.
Cheng's wife wanted to seek personal gain through Donghai Factory, but Song Yunhui stopped her in time. This is the bottom line. But I still sold Cheng's goods, which is another favor.
As for "Song Yunhui is my brother", it is precisely because of the human relationship between Song Yunhui and Director Yang that it fell on him and became his self-defense symbol.
In this way, the relationship between people is still chaotic, so let's get into waste step by step and move towards involution.
The most exciting 33 episodes of the whole drama are the end of relationship studies: Director Cheng wants Song Yunhui to fight for power and profit outside and ensure that he will not cheat at home; But what Song Yunhui wants is to win American equipment for Donghai Plant. Who do we support?
A big river running forward will not sink into the mire, but will only move forward with mud.
Song Yunhui strives for strength, just to do his best. The East China Sea project team is going to be withdrawn, and he tried to bypass the ministries and commissions to establish the project; The first phase of Donghai factory was cancelled due to foreign embargo, and he and the people in the factory came up with plan B. The foreign exchange reserves of the equipment selected in the second phase were insufficient, so he came up with the idea of exchanging shares for equipment. He has been working hard for the development of chemical industry in China.
Lei Dongbao seeks wealth. In order to make Xiao Lei's family live a better life, he opened a brick kiln, a pig farm, an electric wire factory and a copper factory. He dared to fight hard and ask for advice modestly when he encountered problems, which made Xiao Lei's family live a good life.
Yang Xun demands respect. In order to live a decent life, he went out of the countryside, sold chicken feathers and electrical appliances, opened the Changjiang Street market in Jinzhou, and later opened a shopping mall. Although he met many difficulties, he finally became famous.
Watching them become outstanding people along the way and make themselves what they are now is like seeing a hundred flowers blossom and trees flourish, which makes the land of China full of vitality. It is really enviable.
