Everyone in life has their own look, but we always forget what we look like.

In the past two days, I have re-watched "Infernal Affairs" directed by Liu Weiqiang at home. At the beginning it was just a whim, but when I saw the end of the second part, I suddenly felt that there was something I wanted to say, and I had to say it.
In the story of "Infernal Affairs 2" everyone has their own beliefs and perseverance.
Ni Yongxiao, played by Mr. Wu Zhenyu, is a typical family-centered person who does everything wrong for his family, cleans up his family, and dies in tears for his family. At the end of the story, I only have deep sadness for Ni Yongxiao. He is worthy of his family, but he is sorry for the thousands of families who were hurt by him. Maybe this is one of the reasons why he died in tears at the end.
Mr. Zeng Zhiwei's Han Chen is a person who is full of all corners of the world and is also a man of hardship. He is loyal to the Ni family but does not think that his lover is the enemy who killed the boss. In the end, his lover dies and he himself is dead, even the body of his lover. You can't take the burial, you can see the happiness, but only you know the pain.
Mary, played by Ms. Carina Lau, is a typical image of a little woman. The purpose of all her actions is for her husband, but she does not want to do bad things with good intentions and eventually kill herself. Mary is arguably the easiest character in the entire film but also the hardest.
One heart is only for one person, and one heart is only for one person in life.
Aren, played by Shawn Yue, was born in the wrong family but has a positive heart. He is a man with a hard-hearted mind, but he was sent to be an undercover agent under his own brother, but he met a man who was devoted to his family. Seeing his brother's trust in him and the harmony and unity of his family, but still single-minded and unchanging his original intention, he can't help but sigh: "What a strong-willed person he is."
Ni Yongxiao suspected that his brother who had followed him for seven years but came to him with unreserved trust was able to detect a veteran with many years of undercover experience but could not detect a newbie who had just debuted. Funny, is it really impossible to find out? I guess I didn't want to check it out. In the end, when he saw his brother was shot and fell down, Aren finally did what his younger brother should do. He ran over and hugged his brother, crying bitterly, and saw the bug that his brother took out from his clothes. Tears shed from the corners of his eyes. Aren collapsed, he rushed out in pain, looking like he wanted to fight with others, but who did he want to fight with? Han Chen? Huang Zhicheng? Or himself? Presumably he didn't even know it at that moment.
At the end of the movie, Han Chen stood alone in front of the window and listened to the news of China taking back Hong Kong on the radio. Tears were shed unintentionally with the wine in his hand. Maybe he remembered someone, but he had no way of knowing. Then he entered the hall with a glass of wine and looked at the people around him. He responded with a smile and laughed and drank the wine in his glass. . .
Looking at Han Chen through the glass of the hotel, I don't know whether he is crying or laughing. Han Chen in the movie is very similar to us in reality. In the beginning, we see crying, laughing, joy, and sorrow, and we can see it clearly at a glance, but gradually we become blurred and unreal, until finally we can't even see ourselves clearly. In the end, I had to say: "If you come out and hang out, you will have to pay it back sooner or later."
The Buddha said: Suffering from an uninterrupted body will never die, and longevity is a great kalpa in the uninterrupted hell.
