Before the finale, Ma Yan finally realized her dream of going into business overseas.
In the play, Ma Yan has the greatest difficulty in starting a business. In Ma Kui's life, he was unjustly imprisoned as a young man, unfortunately widowed in his middle age, and missed Xiao Shen in his old age. Destiny seemed to be a natural enemy of Ma Kui, and he always wanted to put him to death.
However, suffering is a purgatory for most people, but for Ma Kui, it is a fortune. Under the teasing of God, Ma Kui neither humble nor arrogant, became more and more courageous with every setback, and finally played the march of his own destiny.
In Ma Kui's world, there seems to be no mountain that cannot be climbed or any obstacle that cannot be overcome. He even forgave Wang Yongge for hurting him and fulfilled the love between Wang Xin and Ma Yan.
However, there was one thing that Ma Kui never let go of, and that was Ma Yan's resignation to start a business. Here in Ma Kui, it seems that everything can be compromised, but this matter has no room for negotiation.
In order to realize her dream of starting a business, Ma Yan tried her best and was used to having a bad temper. She quoted from many sources and argued hard, and tried countless times, but Ma Kui just refused to nod.
Therefore, the two sides can only solve the problem through voting. After all, decision-making must be scientific and democratic.
However, China is an emotional society, and people who hold the right to vote have always voted for someone, not for something. Since people vote and are voted for, canvassing and bribery are commonplace.
Just like a general election in a beautiful country, this vote concerning the fate of Wang and Ma is another version of the donkey-elephant dispute. Wang Xin and Ma Yan are the bases of the Pony Party, while Ma Kui and Wang Yongge are the bases of the Old Pony Party. Therefore, swingman Ma Jian has become the focus of competition between the two parties.
Before the vote, father and daughter Ma Kui and Ma Yan tried to build relationships, make connections, negotiate friendships, and negotiate prices, while Ma Jian did not offend both parties and only accepted the benefits.
Unfortunately, the script of life is full of surprises. In the key vote that decided whether Ma Yan could start a business, swingman Ma Jian sided with her father, but Ma Kui still lost. Following the thief's crash case, Wang Yongge stabbed Ma Kui in the back again. He defected and abstained from voting, turning the vote into a meaningless draw.
From the perspective of an outsider, Wang Yongge owed Ma Kui a huge favor back then. From ancient times to the present, debts of gratitude are the most difficult to repay. Now, with such an opportunity to make up for his mistakes and be favored, why did Wang Yongge continue to cheat Ma Kui?
In fact, Wang Yongge seems to have abstained from voting, but in fact he has made his attitude clear. Although he has memory loss due to a stroke, he is not stupid. As shown in the play, he is smarter than anyone else when it comes to playing cards.
Therefore, abstaining from is his attitude and a disguised support for Ma Yan.
One side is a daughter-in-law, and the other side is a daughter-in-law. Why do Ma Kui and Wang Yongge have completely different attitudes?
A person's knowledge and experience will ultimately determine your ability and structure.
Ma Kui was unfortunately imprisoned at the age of thirty, and was rehabilitated at the age of forty. He spent the most critical period of his life in prison. Therefore, the concept of doing business and starting a business and getting rich is very far away from Ma Kui.
After being released from prison, Ma Kui continued his job as a railway criminal police officer. The professional attributes of a police officer not only limit his vision, but also allow him to habitually glimpse the dark side of human nature. People die for money, and birds die for food. Countless people end up with their families destroyed because of their pursuit of wealth.
It is precisely because of this background that Ma Kui has a heartfelt rejection of doing business. He was able to put aside his anger and prejudice against Wang Yongge, but he still stubbornly interfered with Ma Yan's entrepreneurial path.
People's thoughts cannot keep up with the changes of the times, and they will be eliminated by society sooner or later.
Wang Yongge is more like the mirror image of Ma Kui. From train conductor to deputy section chief, Wang Yongge's job position and resume determine his knowledge. As a manager of the passenger transport section, he is more advanced than Ma Kui in terms of thoughts and consciousness.
He has not been out of touch with society for ten years, and has always been in a leading cadre position. Therefore, he always stands higher and sees further regarding the general trend of social development and the small matters of Ma Yan's business.
In the vote to determine Ma Yan's career future, Wang Yongge chose to abstain, but left such a meaningful sentence:
" The Beijing-Kowloon Railway is about to open to traffic. "
Anyone familiar with political history and railway history knows that, As a railway trunk line connecting Beijing and Hong Kong, the Beijing-Kowloon Railway has important political significance. The Beijing-Kowloon Railway was originally scheduled to open to traffic on January 1, 1997, but was finally opened to traffic on September 1, 1996, four months ahead of schedule. This railway is a gift for Hong Kong’s return to the embrace of the motherland and a witness to the peaceful reunification of the motherland.
Wang Yongge said at this time that the Beijing-Kowloon Railway was about to open to traffic. It seemed like an insignificant line, but in fact it was a drunkard's intention.
The Beijing-Kowloon Railway is about to open to traffic - Wang Yongge used these words to tell Ma Kui that China and Britain can negotiate peace and Hong Kong can return. You must follow the trend of the times and let go of your prejudices.
Wang Yongge's subtext is very clear, Ma Kui, the Beijing-Kowloon Railway has been opened to traffic, no matter how old it is, you, the old stubborn, have to change your thinking. The iron rice bowl is no longer important.
Although Ma Kui did not comment on Wang Yongge's statement at the time, looking back in hindsight, he still figured it out and issued an access permit for Ma Yan to start a business.
After Ma Kui nodded, in the next scene, the screenwriter deliberately inserted a wonderful touch. Entrepreneur Niu Dali was ridiculed by a retired veteran cadre in a soft-sleeper car, and the two got into a dispute.
As a national cadre, the old comrade is very angry and confident. He came up with a questioning tone:
" I don't understand. Can anyone sit in this soft sleeper? Do they have an employer? Is there any introduction to the conditions for enjoying the soft sleeper? Letter and proof? Then they should all be kicked out. Can you get a soft sleeper if you have money? How can you do this? ".
This full sense of superiority is very similar to the old lady from Zhenghuangqi with the sky pattern on her forehead.
The veteran cadre was furious, but the flight attendant was not in a hurry. She explained like this:
" There are new regulations for the soft sleeper management of trains. Vehicles and trains must present the passenger's ID card, foreign passengers must present their passport, and Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan passengers must return home. You can buy a soft sleeper ticket with your certificate. ”
Under the crushing force of the wheel of the times, old ideas, old concepts, old systems, and old traditions will one day be thrown into the garbage heap of history.
The Beijing-Kowloon Railway is about to open to traffic, and new regulations have been introduced for the management of soft sleepers - whether it is Ma Kui or veteran cadres, they will eventually understand - Sir, times have changed.
