That day, a shooting star passed by during the day

The former is gone, the latter not yet.

The kindness of all three has been discussed before in my article "The Sages Are Dead - For Dale, Herschel, and Bess" , and Rick's kindness is not among them: it is not Beth's brave and forward kindness, nor It's not Dale's essential and worldly kindness, nor Herschel's thoughtful and wise kindness. He's the kindness that can kill three thousand enemies for his family. This kindness has accompanied American audiences until the ninth season.

In American culture, the public is against authority, suspicious of the government, and suspicious of institutions. This is the reason why the new crown epidemic has not been brought under control.

A country that was founded less than a thousand years ago was founded by the gunshots of Lexington, who opposed the British regime. It is suspected that the early American people were prudent in their bones.

Externally suspicious, but internally, to the family, he is able to kill three thousand enemies.

In many street surveys, the most important thing to ask the American people is family , followed by work. Americans' dedication to family can be seen in film and television works: the way families get along and local psychological education.

And the role of Rick is the representative of thousands of American families, enough of the United States.

So you can see such a "character who is not well-represented": after Lori's death, a massacre was used to vent her anger, and she was unwilling to easily accommodate other survivors; after losing Carl, she used lies to deceive the scattered prisoners of the Salvation Church, even if the other party After saving his own life, the next moment he chose "ungrateful" ruthlessly and slashed down with an axe;

In the end, he even used Carl as a "pretence" to deceive Negan to relax and be ridiculed by the other party.

"May my kindness prevail over my anger" , and finally chose Carl's way to go down, save Negan, build the bridge, and try to connect the various communities.

What Rick has done along the way is really not upright, and even has a treacherous side in the later period, but Americans love it very much.

As a husband, he is loyal enough; as a father, he is responsible enough; as a leader, he is frank enough. For Americans, that's enough.

China does not follow this pattern. To be precise, the traditional Chinese culture advocates the "gentleman culture", and what he does must be upright and upright. The role of Guo Jing in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" can bear the responsibility of "the great hero, serving the country and the people". A gentleman must be immaculate.

This is the difference between Chinese and American cultures, you may not like it, but "the gentleman is harmonious but different, the villain is the same but not harmonious", just seek common ground while reserving differences.

Rick is not a natural leader. He has qualities that Americans like: responsibility, honesty, and composure.

Looking back at the beginning, he was originally a sheriff in King County, Kentucky. An accident brought him directly to the world of zombies. When he woke up in the hospital, he looked devastated and headed towards home, where there are family members he misses. , he wants to know the situation at home.

Just after recuperating, he had to go to Atlanta alone. After saving his life with the help of Glenn, he then found his wife and children in the survivor camp. At this time, he also found the first important person in his life: Sean.

Sean and Rick are like two sides of the same coin. Rick is calm and steady, while Sean is smooth and unruly, just like the difference between autocracy and democracy .

Sean and Rick's experiences as sheriffs gave them a reputation, but the very different ways of handling them made most of the survivors' camp gradually follow Rick and alienate Sean. In their eyes, Rick was calm and kind, and Shaw. En extremely domineering.

But they don't know that Sean's extremes are mostly forced out. Rick's return and Lori's turmoil have gradually marginalized him. He is like a person who doesn't get apple pie when distributing food and is at a loss. boy .

He used to regard Karl as his own, and under Lori's instigation made them estranged. The evil in his heart continued to magnify in the troubled world. He used to be an unruly and slippery boy. In the troubled world, his anger turned into a fist and punched Ka Rolle's husband is for justice.

Even though Dale saw through all of Sean's misfortunes, what he did was to warn Sean that Sean was like an abandoned son, going further and further on the extreme road.

Rick wants to help him, but Sean's pride doesn't allow the man to help him.

Later, under the moonlit night, Sean blamed all the faults on Rick. He wanted to end Rick's life. Rick had to fight back and kept saying, "It's your fault, not me, not me!"

Rick doesn't want to be caught off guard, his family needs his leadership, and he doesn't trust Sean to lead everyone on a good path.

But Sean is like a mirror. Sean's departure makes Rick sometimes have no reference at all. His moral code has no reference standard, and he has also been lost.

On the night the farm fell and was assassinated by Sean, he led everyone out of the predicament, and he told everyone: there will be no democracy in the future.

He was also a dictator in the Alexander community. Even though the community gave him and his team a home, the unreasonable insecurity lingered in everyone's mind, and Rick completed the change without blood.

This is not Rick's original intention. He doesn't want to be a leader, but his ability makes him responsible. At the same time, he also clearly realizes that only he and Brother Nu can lead to improve the survival rate, but Brother Nu is always used to being alone.

He doesn't care about being a high-ranking leader, he doesn't take advantage of his position, he wants to step down twice.

The first time was in the comfort of life in prison. He gave up dictatorship and chose democracy, set up a committee to make decisions, and took a back seat to farm with peace of mind.

The second time was under the rule of the Salvation Church. For a period of time, she shrunk and always wandered outside with the knife girl, reluctant to return to the Alexandria community and enjoy the time of living freely outside.

In his eyes, the so-called rights must be linked to responsibilities, not interests. If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight.

The last thing this man did was to build a bridge to connect various communities. In his opinion, this bridge was the hope of the future, the future that Carl wanted. He wanted to protect this future. The relationship between the community and the Salvation Church, but it is just such a bridge, can't help but test, it falls apart, his beautiful picture disappears, and the last thing we can do is to destroy the bridge and save everyone.

"I found them" - "I found them"

To whom Rick's last words were spoken, and what they were, my wife and I had a triple guess.

It was for Sean: anger and hatred, and the deepest loyalty, he found.

It's for the lost partners: the partners I depended on for survival found me, and they didn't give up looking for me.

It is for the partners under the bridge: I have found the partners who have passed away, and I will walk with them, don't worry.

That day, a shooting star passed by during the day.

The former is gone, the latter has not arrived, Negan's cell is no longer the man who was excited when he painted a beautiful picture, an important person's seat is missing at the rally, after the Alpha demonstration, it is difficult to rise up and resolutely resist, the community is independent, the bridge To be rebuilt later.
