This is the underworld

I remember a friend told me that there are indeed people who help people buy their lives. Where they come from in Xinjiang, they have nothing to worry about, and it doesn't matter what they lose.
A few thousand dollars can buy a hand or a foot, and the price of a life is even lower than I imagined.
So I asked him, that such a person must not have siblings, parents, wives, loved ones, or even friends. He thought for a while and said, yes.
What a man cares about is his weakness, his weakness.
So at the end of the credits he says "Goodbye, Anna".

I don't know why I just remembered this after watching this movie.
In fact, there is no educational meaning or connotation.
It is to tell us civilians that there are some things in this society that we do not know and dare not imagine.
The underworld is not like Chen Haonan, where several brothers eat, drink and kill people together.
Killing people doesn't seem like a very cool thing.
Life and death are major events in life, the only major events.
All debts have to be paid, whether you like it or not.
How to hurt others, how to be hurt.
No one escaped.

Eastern Promises quotes

  • Anna: My uncle has gone missing, since I told you about him translating the diary.

    Nikolai Luzhin: Your uncle is fine, he is in Edinburgh, in a 5-Star Hotel. I was ordered to send him to Heaven with a bullet in his brain... instead I gave him a first class ticket to Scotland. He is old-school, he understands things... exile or death.

  • Kirill: [about Nikolai] He is no driver, he is the undertaker.
