When the wheels of the screening vehicle rolled over the dirt road in the township, Lin Wu always felt that the scenery outside the window was out of focus - on the physical examination report she held, the eyesight data of the empty-nest elderly had been tampered with again and again, from the seal confirmation of the township health center, to the list selection of the village party secretary, to the assistance of school teachers for statistics, the private ophthalmology marketing network of "rural areas surrounding the city" was woven airtight by these forged "demands".
As a junior employee of this ophthalmology institution, she was a witness to data fraud, but she was also unable to control herself within the unspoken rules of the industry. It wasn't until the non-compete agreement was like a piece of ice that "frozen" her career path for a year, and her former colleague Gu Chen was also kicked out by the partners and left Hong Kong to transform into a SPAC shell king. Lin Wu, while running around as a medical representative, saw clearly how capital swallowed up the original intention of the ophthalmology industry bit by bit: academic conferences became "acupoint-traveling" sites, expert platforms were billed on a per-session basis, and patients' bright needs were nothing more than profit figures in financial reports.
This is a story about light and shadow, and it is also a mirror game between ophthalmology and capital - when the scalpel meets the logic of capital, when the patient's expectations collide with business calculations, can Lin Wu and Gu Chen hold on to the "pupil world" and let the eyes become a window to see the truth again, rather than a tool to be reconstructed by capital?
