A killer who never had any hope for the future, a hunted person who was desperate and desperate, and a policeman who began to doubt his own life when he got old.
Everything revolves around despair. The killer never thought of anything else to rely on. He was used to living on his own at all times, he was used to hiding, because only then could he hunt and escape. He's used to shooting when he thinks it's time to shoot, so simply. The horror of him is that he fully understands what he does and has his own clear philosophy. He sees his actions as fate. He sees his existence as helping everyone fulfill his destiny, and integrates this peace of mind with him and the tasks he performs. This is the highest state of the killer, and it is also the essential characteristic of all those who have reached the pinnacle in their own field. In front of such an opponent, the same well-trained opponent will be dwarfed by that.
Life is hard to come by. Most people go their way through life. If you're lucky, it's easier, if you're unlucky, it's harder. But everyone is just trying to survive. Survival has nothing to do with the noble and the despicable, either can survive, but only the paranoid can survive.
In the volatile stock market, every investment style can make money, the key is persistence. The same is true in life. Humble is of course also a style, but this style can only make people go with the flow. And some people find a killer style and are convinced that they become one with it. A real killer who never wastes time in that kind of veiled discussion.
He always fires his own bullet one-tenth of a second before someone else pulls the trigger, guided by his deeply held philosophy of life .
And we mortals, like the last wife in the film, asked in despair and confusion in the face of the killer who came to ask for his life: "Can you not do this?". Then the killer said lightly: "You always ask. I came here by tossing a coin." It was fate, there was no choice. Absolute heaven and nature.
This kind of understanding can help us to reorient the discussion of historical issues. With this understanding, we find that all the so-called re-examination of historical issues and the discovery of truth are just a form of political expression and have nothing to do with truth. On the one hand, this veiled discussion shows the pressures of authentic expression, and on the other hand, it also expresses the status of the inquiry man himself. They always fell to the ground first when they really faced off.
This kind of knowledge can also help us to understand and accept all the history of China since we went to Jinggangshan, without wasting time to find the so-called truth. From Shangjinggangshan to 1989, all of this is just what a real master must do. The answers behind those historical events, which have been discussed countless times, are just a natural blow from a real master at the moment when his life is at stake. If he doesn't, he falls first.
Because, for everyone, there is no one to rely on.
