The English name of "Breaking Bad" is "breaking bad". Of course, the protagonist Walter is the most impressive in this American drama. He is a high school chemistry teacher in New Mexico, we can call him Lao Bai. He is not a wise man, nor is he a complete bad guy. We saw Lao Bai walking towards the abyss step by step, turning into a demon bit by bit, but couldn't examine him from the perspective of a bad guy.
Lao Bai is the only source of income for a struggling family. For most of his life, he stayed and worked hard, just like you and me, but on the occasion of his 50th birthday, he suddenly learned that he was suffering from the bad news of the late stage of lung cancer, and his unhappy life suddenly worsened. He is not a charismatic character, especially his poor appearance in the first season, poor work, poor family, and even worse fate. Encountering such a ugly uncle on the road, who would pay attention for a second?
In order to ensure that his pregnant wife and his disabled son, Walter, would have nothing to worry about after his death, Walter was determined to take risks. He took the initiative to find a former student, now a drug dealer, Jesse, to cooperate, and use skilled and superb chemical technology to extract high-purity methamphetamine and deliver it to the latter for sale. Ordinary people, such a delinquent person, can do nothing but make a fuss, but Old Bai doesn't. He doesn't have much time, and he is dissatisfied. He has to run his small drug manufacturing workshop in the same way as a nerd, and talk to Jesse about wholesale, direct sales, logistics, and profitability. The workshop turns into a studio, the studio turns into a top-level laboratory, the instruments and equipment are distinguished, the professional raw materials are seamlessly supplied, the logistics channels extend in all directions, the entire production operation is technically standardized, and the ISO9001 indicators are straightforward.
Until his family Hank died, he knew that what he called protecting his family was actually just a cover to satisfy himself. In the end, Lao Bai spent his last money, spent his last bit of strength, held the last bit of hope, and said to his wife like self-salvation, I did all this for myself. I like what I do. I am good at doing these things. It makes me feel that I have really lived.
Looking at Lao Bai's life from an engineer's point of view, we should realize that a person's life is to start the pursuit of one's own career as soon as possible. From an objective point of view, Lao Bai was full of talents in chemistry but could not use it. When his life was about to end, he had to take the risk and embark on the road of drug manufacturing crime. But it was this road that he had walked through, and he became a big drug lord. If he could re-emerge from his early failures earlier and plan his career proactively, instead of waiting to be "raped" by life, his life would be another chance.
