Don't worry about ignorant confidants ahead. The professional manager appeared at the right time, a crippled old street guy with vegetable leaves on his teeth. "Brother, you need to manage". Cowherd had no choice, and of course handed over his last $20 and his future in the city to the cripple. Cowherd was introduced to a perverted old GAY who believed in Christ. He sold his body professionally instead of his soul, so he ran away. The lame man was long gone, and the Cowherd lost everything he had in New York.
In this darkest moment of life, the road for the enemy is narrow, and the Cowherd meets the lame man.
The cripple had only 6 cents and half a cigarette on his body, and he had a smile on his face. Niulang originally wanted to beat him, but later he felt that it was useless, so he went home with him. This is the worst room in NYC, the only thing intact is the door. Cowherd's New York dream was completely shattered, and the cripple coughed and fooled him: We can still get along, New York gets mixed up, let's go to my hometown Miami. On the cold night of this city, in this dim little shabby house, two extremely unreliable people have established a wonderful and warm relationship.
They steal fruit on the street and hang out on 42nd Street. The cripple recreates the image of the Cowherd, and the Cowherd takes on small jobs from time to time - but why do you always meet the little GAY. The lame man became more and more ill, and the Cowherd went to sell his blood to buy medicine for the lame man. In order to eat, even the most beloved radio has become. Two hopeless men linger in a brutal city.
Fate seems to change after a psychedelic dance. They were invited to a party full of drugs, sensuality, and pretentious New York upper class, where the cripple was fed, and the cowherd got a girl. The lame man was very ill, and on the snowy night his face was sweating. The Cowherd wiped the lame man's sweat with his red shirt. This scene is really FUCKING BEAUTIFUL. The Cowherd follows the old woman and rushes to the hope in the dark.
A successful business, but life has not changed for the better. The cripple was sick and wanted to go home, so the Cowherd robbed him of the money and took him back to Miami by bus. On the bus, the cripple wet his pants and wept bitterly. Cowherd said, it's okay, old guy, you just pee in the wrong place. They both still laughed out loud.
The cripple is dead. Died on the way to Sunshine Beach, in the arms of his brother.
I read it twice before I realized that this story is about the hope and disillusionment of life.
