Deception for personal gain is the most unforgivable thing in the world.

I watched and saw the story of the French-speaking girl. They didn't even know English, so they were deceived like this. Sign off the contract.
I remembered a story that happened in a small village a few years ago. A pair of old partners around 70 years old. The old grandmother was very hardworking and raised a lot of chickens. She accumulated a lot of eggs and used to sell them on the street after a while. A little money always makes people feel more secure, especially for the elderly. One day, a few young people rode their motorcycles past the door and asked if they had any eggs. The old grandmother took out the eggs that she had accumulated for a long time, more than 30 yuan. , The young man took out 100 yuan, took the eggs, and walked away with the money he was looking for. One day later, the old lady took the money urgently and was told that it was fake money. 100 yuan is a huge sum of money for the elderly who live on their own, but they are deceived like this. The old man is my grandmother. When I heard her calm remarks, my heart was full of despair. I don’t know where those people who dare to deceive even the old man live now, and what kind of life they live. Maybe they have long forgotten that there is such a thing. , and I, but think again and again.
Someone on TV said that no matter what, in the end, the people who suffer the most are always those at the bottom, the poorest. Those who are powerful and those who take advantage of the loopholes, even if a few are put into jail, they can live a life that no one else can match. I don't have to say anything against my heart to sympathize with them, they have no soul to pursue material things, but, why would the system we believe in turn us down. Who said that grief is greater than death, and distrust is probably the most severe punishment.
The amount of information in this film is too large, and I need to stop and think in the middle, thinking of the economics principle course I took before, and the word derivative product in financial management accounting that I will never understand. Maybe I am still a pure science student. Those who weave a beautiful dream for others and profit from it, after the dream is broken, there is no punishment.
