"For milk." Bullock replied quickly and calmly. The people below began to whisper, and some even laughed. Because no one thought that before such an important decisive battle, the man in front of him was not for his career, not for his ideals, but only for milk. It was like in the face of money and honor, he only picked a piece of bread, and the others were insignificant.
In the 1930s, as a good boxer, Brock worked hard and never lost a match. Nevertheless, due to the economic depression in the United States, there are few boxing matches, and his right hand accidentally fractured, and the Boxing Association revoked his license. He can only go to the dock to work as a porter, but because there are too many unemployed people, the competition is fierce, and the family's financial means cannot make ends meet.
The eldest son stole the ham. He found it and returned it to the shop. He had no money to pay the bills, and the electricity and heating were stopped. The younger daughter got pneumonia and the son started coughing. The wife took the child to the relative's house without telling him. He was very angry because he had promised his children that he would protect them no matter what, and would never let them leave this home.
Putting down the dignity of a man, he went to the relief station to receive the relief money, and then came to the Boxing Management Association alone, took off his hat and said nothing, using his hands that he should have been fighting to engage in begging. He walked in front of everyone step by step, begging and helpless in his eyes. As the coins fell into the hat, he finally made up enough electricity and heating bills.
For the sake of this family, for the promise he made to the children, he decided to play again. He went to beg his agent to let him be a temporary boxer. Before the game, he didn't even eat for a day, just ate a few bites of mashed potatoes brought by his agent. Although several ribs were discounted, he defeated the world's second-ranked fighter in disbelief.
After returning home, with the bonus, watching the laughter of his children and his wife, he had no other choice. Play! His agent helped him get his license back. After winning one after another, he got the opportunity to challenge the world champion. In that era of economic depression, he became a hero of the people. One year ago he was still doing coolies on the dock, and one year later he became the champion of the world.
His opponent is a "devil" who has put his opponent to death on the ring twice. His wife also advised him not to play, but he has never had such a strong desire to win, for his cup of "milk", for those who never give up.
In the match, he was hit by a heavy punch from the boxing champion. Then, the cold house at home, supporting his wife, sick daughter, empty bed, bills owed...this is all the driving force for him to sustain him.
He won! Rely on points to win. All the audiences and supporters before the broadcast were all cheered by him. He became the world champion and won many prizes. He went to the relief center again, only this time, he returned the relief money in full.
I don't want to say that life is like a boxing match, but life is indeed full of difficulties, ups and downs, and unsatisfactory of this kind, just like a fist hit by opponents on the boxing ring. When you face this kind of life, do you have the courage to shake your fist and take on the responsibilities that a man deserves?
As a man, he is great enough simply by having the courage to change the plight and support his family.
