In the beginning, the scene of sharpening a knife and killing a chicken was an interesting metaphor, which meant that everyone in this city was as worthless as a chicken to be slaughtered. As long as Li Si and others were happy, they could shoot and go. In fact, in the 1960s, although the "gentle trio" also robbed unscrupulously, they still adhered to the principle of not killing. In Li Si's generation, all "thieves also have the right way" have been forgotten, one by one, like bloodthirsty demons, shooting at every turn, taking murder and being killed as a matter of course of survival. The irony is that in the end Li Si was also killed by a gang of quite eldest children. The gangs have been passed down from generation to generation, not only getting stronger, but also getting younger and younger.
Boxing champion Ni is also a very interesting character. He was originally an honest citizen, but his girlfriend was raped, his uncle and younger brother were killed, and he joined the carrot party to fight Li Si for revenge. At the beginning, I disregarded the principle of "do not kill the innocent indiscriminately", but out of self-defense instinct, I had to kill. There were exceptions in the routine, and the exception gradually became the routine. It is really involuntary as soon as you enter the rivers and lakes. This quagmire It's hard to extricate yourself if you get stuck. In the end, he died and was snatched by the child who had avenged his father. The so-called "sooner or later he would have to pay back when he came out," this kind of unhappy karma is really not just talking.
Even more shocking is the attitude of the government and the police. From the very beginning, after the robbery happened, the sheriff deliberately wanted to retake the stolen money and put it in his own pocket. They not only condone the occurrence of various crimes, but also try to profit from them. They provided guns and ammunition for the gang, and also collected various bribes. Under such "control", the city truly became a "city without an owner." It is not surprising that Li Si and others are raging. Not only did they openly engage in criminal transactions, they were also proud that their photos made the headlines of the newspapers.
I suddenly thought, isn't our earth also a "city without a master"? In many places in the world, violent conflicts continue for ethnic and political prejudice. Some countries, under the banner of safeguarding peace, ostensibly act as the world's gendarmerie, but secretly provide them with a large amount of war resources. The bodies full of bullet holes are shocking, but the blankness of the rule of law and the lack of compassion are the root causes of all this disorder. We can only hope that everyone can resist the impulse of original sin with their conscience before drawing their guns. No matter how difficult life is, they can retain the last goodness and the basic rationality. .
