has not precipitated much reflection and countermeasures. What
leaves us is forgetting.
And "Evil" is to resist this forgetting.
and this is exactly where it challenges humanity-
forgetting is actually an instinct, an emergency mechanism for self-protection after trauma.
However, this is also the paradox—how can
find the pathology if the lesion is not clearly seen? If
does not open the scar, how can we remove the stasis of pus and blood? The story of
"and evil" is about two years after the murder. In addition to the lawyer Wang She at the beginning, the main characters of
are also three.
Liu Zhaoguo (played by Wen Shenghao), the founder of the "Internet Herald", is also a family member of the victim of the murder two years ago.
Liu Zhaoguo’s wife, Song Qiaoan (Jia Jingwen), the director of Taste News. Compared with her husband’s traditional media, she pursues the landing data of news more intuitivelyThe performance is more "headline party".
Li Xiaowen, the sister of the murderer Li Xiaoming, changed her name to Li Dazhi (played by Chen Yu) in order to get out of the influence of the case. On the recommendation of his teacher,
came to the Taste News Channel as an editor and became Song Qiaoan's subordinate. The amazing thing about
"And Evil" is that it challenges the inertial thinking of the audience from the first episode. The
screenwriter never intended to simply write the characters as "good guys" or "bad guys." The complexity and realism of
are unique in Chinese dramas in recent years.
For example, Liu Zhaoguo, who is a good father, will also cheat.
Song Qiaoan, who is a master at work, has become an incompetent mother after her son was killed, and even forgot her daughter's birthday.
Li Dazhi, who seems to have gotten rid of the stigma of the murderer's family, dare not even lift his head while walking on the road, covering his face with long hair, and only dare to lie to the outside that his parents died in a car accident without relatives or cause.
and the murderer's family who hid since starting the haircut, it is not that they have never thought about facing it.
But when they came to the mourning hall, they saw that life was unbearable and they were finally defeated-

After the murder, Li Dazhi's home was smashed by the family of the deceased, and the noodle restaurant could no longer be opened, so he could only live incognito.
But as family members, should they be implicated?
The lawyer who defended the murderer Li Xiaowen gave up his job in a large law firm to defend the rights of murderers.
However, no one around understands, do murderers have human rights? When

returns to the title "The Distance Between Us and Evil". What is
evil?
is actually the part of human nature that we don't want to look directly at. Once something that we can't understand happens to

is the murderer. That person
is neurotic.
We are used to the default:
"evil" is insulated from human nature.

Whenever there is a social tragedy, the voice that rushes to the forefront must be-
"Death penalty."
Under the follow-up report of the media, many people will say-
"Is this whitewashing the murderer?"
"I don't want to hear so much why, death penalty, thank you."
Behind the unthinking "death penalty", it is not so much a sense of justice, it is a kind of denial——
is evil, it has nothing to do with me, I hope it disappears from my vision quickly, don't let me see it again.
But denying evil cannot eliminate evil. From the perspective of different roles in the

These screenwriters' omissions are not the most serious problem. The problem with

Look at "And Evil" again. The screenwriter’s guilt is that a TV series that popularizes common sense to the public and hopes to reach a consensus should not make mistakes in common sense.
means that facing evil is not terrible.
As long as we still have reliable social tools as a guarantee.
However, do most of us possess such rigorous common sense? Many people may still not be able to distinguish the difference between the government and the court, and they still think that lawyers defending the murderer have no conscience. They think that they can shout "death penalty" without investigation and judgment.
