imminent

"John Q", I still prefer the Chinese translation to the English name. It is imminent, life is imminent, and it cannot be delayed for a moment.

My son needs a heart transplant. Regardless of whether there is a suitable heart, the cost of the operation is astronomical. For the Q family, whose family was not wealthy, the only thing they relied on was insurance. However, due to the huge loopholes in the insurance system, they only received a very small amount of insurance, which was far from the cost of their son's surgery. In the face of life, the hospital is only full of copper stinking, and it cannot put his son's name on the list of transplant recipients without money. John raised money everywhere for his son's life, and finally sold the furniture, electrical appliances, and even the only car, but the money was still not enough, and his son's life was at stake. The Lord's John "Do something!" was

forced to help, John took the risk and kidnapped the doctor and the patient in the emergency room, hoping to threaten the hospital to save his son's life. Among these hostages were pregnant women, children, injured men and women, nurses on their first day of work, and fat security guards who just wanted to survive.

He had no intention of hurting them, he just wanted a bargaining chip to save his son, and as long as his son's name appeared on the list of heart transplant recipients, he raised his hand and surrendered. When the pregnant woman was about to give birth, he agreed to release the hostage, along with the old woman and the child in her arms. And the hostage who was released said to the camera that came to interview: He is a good man!

Yes, he was a good man who kept his own way, but the society wanted to force his son to death, and he would not obey him. He was just a father who was eager to save his son, and he took this extreme road.

The police, hospitals, insurance companies, and journalists all had their own plans for Q. After mixed negotiations, negotiations, interviews, deceit, and hysteria, in the end of the call between John and his son, the public and the audience stood by Q. side.

My son was dying. Q said to give him my heart. When he was about to raise a gun and drink bullets, I burst into tears. He said to his son before the operation: Stay away from bad things, please!

He touched his son's chest and said: I will never leave you! I am always with you! Right there!

Fortunately, the donor's heart was delivered in time; fortunately, the director of the hospital found it in time; fortunately, fortunately, there was a A doctor who truly saves lives and wounds; fortunately, everything is just fine.

In the end, John was sentenced to three years in prison, but in exchange for his son's health, it was worth it!

At the end of the film, one of the black hostages said to John: You are a hero!

Yes, in front of the father's love that is worth his life, everything is not important.

He's not a kidnapper, he's just a father.
