Lao Jiu Said

The poorer you are, the more you long for happiness; the more you struggle, the closer you are to destruction. This is the life of an ordinary person crushed by fate, who is most dedicated to happiness. I would rather others betray me than lose my benevolence and practice asceticism throughout my life. A man named Zhao Xingfu, in the social changes of the 1970s and 1980s, his name was like an eternal curse. Like a sacred object, he clumsily guards all illusions about happiness: family affection, love, kindness and dignity. However, poverty and fate took away and crushed these illusions from his hands one by one. The core tension of this story is that a person who least deserves the word "happiness" has become the most tragic martyr of "happiness" with an almost divine tenacity.
