Who will pay for my crazy wife?

I watched Lao Xi's "The Reunification" last night, a story that is not true, but more true than any other story.



The protagonist is a bassist in a restaurant, has a gentle wife and two lovely children. Generally speaking, his family is happy, but it is not financially rich enough, and often depends on borrowing to make a living. Of course, a peaceful life will always be broken. One day his poor wife had a relapse of toothache, and the actor had to take his wife's insurance policy to the bank for a loan. The disaster struck the moment he entered the bank. The female receptionist mistakenly identified him as a gangster who robbed the bank a month ago and secretly reported to the police.



The poor male protagonist was arrested in prison in this way. After witness identification and handwriting comparison, the police even found him to be a criminal. Then, his relatives spent a lot of money to bail him out. In order to prove his innocence, the actor and his wife run around looking for lawyers and witnesses.



However, after experiencing repeated blows, his poor wife was finally forced by invisible pressure to become mentally abnormal. She thought that she had harmed her husband. If she did not have a toothache, the husband would not have to borrow money. Will not suffer this sin. Of course, at the end of the story, the real criminal was caught and the protagonist was pronounced innocent. But his wife did not return to normal for a long time.



What irritated me the most was the two female bank employees who insisted that the male protagonist was a criminal just because of their similar appearance. After going to the police station to identify the real criminal, he could still walk past the actor without blushing, without even saying "I am sorry."



My mother is also watching a series called "A Thousand Years at the End of the Day" these days, in which there is a hapless ghost Xiao Hailiang, but because of his similar appearance, he was mistaken for criminals who raped an underage girl, and received unfair treatment from all sides.



Really wonder, wrong, false, why there are so many unjust cases? It may not be a big deal for ordinary people to blame a good person. It is a big deal to say "I'm sorry" to him. But for innocent people, how unfair is it to be suspected inexplicably, or even labeled as a criminal? Xiao Hailiang in "The First Time" is relatively lucky. His fiancee has always believed in him and will not leave him, and finally waited until the day came to light. The bass player in "The Reunification" is a little bit miserable. After the un-rich family has flown into disasters, it is even more in debt. The most important thing is that his poor wife is not even mentally normal. Although he didn't get home to the point where his wife was scattered, but the difference was not far away.



Fortunately, this is just a movie, just a drama, but who can guarantee that there is no such thing in real life?



So, I just want to ask the poor bass player "Who will pay for my crazy wife?"
