1. skyler She's a manipulative person as it was revealed in season 1. Her style of doing things is "listen to me, tell me", and she is extremely suspicious, but she never leaves room for others to deal with things under the table, and asks the parties to ask clearly about everything. When she found Xiaofan, her first reaction was to go to Xiaofan to make it clear; when she found out that her sister was stealing things, she was not thinking of a more appropriate method to communicate, but the serial calls made it difficult to step down; when she appeared in At the birthday party of an old white friend, she tried to get help by spreading the word about her illness without restraint; when she showed up at a family meeting, she yelled at other people's dissent. Her style of doing things and Lao Bai are two extremes. The sympathy I had for her was gone when I revisited the first season.

2. Lao Bai, since the characters of other people have only revealed the tip of the iceberg this season, let’s focus on analyzing Lao Bai. What kind of person is he, extremely intelligent, extremely introverted, and extremely self-respecting, he likes to solve things by himself instead of relying on others emotionally, and this character determines his future destiny to some extent. He could have succeeded in starting a business with his smart head, but he left his entrepreneurial partner due to his extreme personality (the reason was mentioned in the second season) and became a high school teacher. The respect of a high school teacher is not as good as that of a college teacher in the play. , not only in celebrity social situations to the once ambitious and revengeful Lao Bai, but also often humiliated by bad students who ignore classroom discipline. Lao Bai's first child was a little inconvenient to move, and in middle age, she was pregnant with her second child, a daughter. The imminent arrival of a new life has brought a new vision to the family, but it has also brought greater life pressure. At this critical point, Lao Bai was diagnosed with cancer. The only hope has also turned into pressure, and Lao Bai is trapped in the spider web of life, entangled in either direction. Years of depression finally broke out at this moment, and Lao Bai began to blacken. The life dilemma of the spider web leads to the road of delinquency. Rather than saying that Lao Bai had to take the road of crime because of his predicament, it is better to say that Lao Bai himself aspires to become a bloodthirsty tyrant who can dominate others, and he no longer has to compromise and feel inferior because of his weakness. And the predicament finally gave him reasons and excuses.

In this season, Lao Bai is hardly seen smiling. All his expressions are bitterness, embarrassment, anger and occasional smugness. We can see that this season has many dilemmas that push Lao Bai from zero to one. The great drug empire also devoured the only remaining way back for Lao Bai.

1. Release him or kill him: Xiaoba taught him a lesson, never trust others. When he pulled the chain and strangled the person locked in the basement to death, he realized that there would never be a soft-hearted innocence on the road to becoming a drug dealer. It was a bloodthirsty forest where the strong prey on the weak, and the Virgin Mary can only be reduced to the knife of drug dealers. Hell, only iron blood can protect oneself.

2. Injuring innocent people: It is impossible for the traces of illegality to go unnoticed. It is always necessary to find someone to take the blame. What if you choose one of the innocent people who are imprisoned and blamed? What will you choose? To be a drug lord, what is conscience? I'm sorry that he will get used to it slowly. It is common for Chiyu to suffer. All he can do is to be cold-blooded and cold-blooded.

3. The generosity of an old friend: Lao Bai is a person with strong self-esteem. He doesn't want to accept hypocritical kindness, which makes him feel even more humble.

4. Sister-in-law stealing: Lao Bai’s subconscious reflection is understanding. He asked, “What if the stealing is for the family?” Crime is no longer a black-and-white matter, as long as there is a strong motive behind it, it will still arouse sympathy. The motive is for the family? I'm afraid the motive is only to satisfy one's own desire, whether it's old white or marie.
