The "God of Medicine" in the movie is an ordinary middle-aged man in a predicament, without three heads and six arms, let alone his potential to become a "hero".
From human to "god", this film makes people teary and bloody because it is an extraordinary victory from an ordinary person, which makes people feel uplifting and anticipating, and its subject matter and story are out of the narrow direction It is related to every person living in this country, facing the public and pointing directly to the hearts of the people. It has no distance from the audience, allowing us to see ourselves in the film.
The protagonist of the film Cheng Yong (played by Xu Zheng) is a purchasing agent. If I remember correctly, this is the first time this "occupation" has appeared in a domestic film, but this emerging profession has already been integrated into our daily life. And Cheng Yong, played by Xu Zheng, purchased the anticancer drug Glinin made in India on his behalf. This means that we are entrusting someone to purchase cosmeceuticals or health care products from Japan, because the domestic genuine price of Glenin is close to the sky-high price of 40,000, while Cheng Yong is It is relying on purchasing this drug to get out of the predicament of life.
Cheng Yong, who appeared at the beginning, was arguing with his wife for a divorce and competing for custody of his son. The old father was lying on the bed in the nursing home waiting to spend money to see a doctor. He opened a small health care store selling "Indian God Oil". Every day the landlord urges the rent...
He's a middle-aged man with a miserable life that we don't usually guard against, which is why we have a lot of affection for this character. When he fed porridge to the old father lying in the nursing home, when he was embarrassed to take out a month's income to renew the nursing home, and sent cigarettes (a pack) to the finance to ask for accommodation... These cover the self-evident The daily details of the mundane world show that he is interpreting the dilemma of thousands of people and showing the difficulty of our struggle against ordinary life.
When Cheng Yong was forced to have no way out, a chronic myeloid leukemia patient, Lu Yiyi (Wang Chuanjun), came to the door, and Cheng Yong began to have a relationship with "chronic myeloid leukemia". After inquiring about the vastly different efficacy and prices of these medicines, Cheng Yong discovered a huge business opportunity. After bringing back the first batch of medicines, he bundled them with Lu Yiyi to sell them, officially entering the world of "patients".
From Lu Benyi to the dancer Liu Sihui, the church priest and the rural migrant worker "Yellow Hair" who robbed medicine, with the in-depth contact with chronic myeloid leukemia patients, Cheng Yong gradually formed a purchasing team, and their personnel included urban areas. Middle-class, single-parent families, young and middle-aged patients, and patients at the bottom. The movie doesn't spend too much time introducing the cruelty of everyone's life, but it's just a point to stop, and even has some dark humor, which makes us laugh frequently during the viewing of the movie.
The beautiful mother played by Tan Zhuo is a stripping girl as soon as she comes on the scene, no need to repeat, you can understand her helplessness to come to this point.
Lu Yiyi took Cheng Yong home for dinner, and his wife took a glass of wine and drank it. She regarded this "big shopping agent" as a benefactor. How can we not understand the mood of this young father watching the sleeping baby in the cradle beside him on the big screen? He wanted to live, wanted to watch his son grow up, and thought, "Maybe he can still be a grandfather"...
