The creed of a man who brushed his shoulders with death

Amos 2022-04-22 07:01:02

The protagonist's two brushes with death are lucky. What is the meaning of luck? Why some people are lucky and some people are unfortunate. When the protagonist's employee is unfortunate, what does he do? He went to the pastor to pray for the dead workers. He has a conscience in his heart, and that conscience is his belief. He loves his adopted son, but he also uses his adopted son, which is a sin in the protagonist's heart. Because he hates lies and hates hypocrisy. He cherishes family and friendship, and he has principles for his career. For movies, it doesn't matter whether the story is a tragedy or a comedy, what matters is what the director wants to express and to whom.
