When happiness knocks on the door - my afterthought

"When Happiness Comes Knocking", I just liked the name at first. When happiness comes knocking, it's such a warm six words. I just ask myself over and over again: When happiness knocks on the door, can I open the door immediately and keep him? ? Or did he just stop by, stop for a while, get up to say goodbye, and get away from me? ... I like this male protagonist very much. He can play such a down and out man who lives at the bottom of the society in such a touching way. At least, I am really moved. Watching him spend his days in various hospitals to pay rent and send his son to kindergarten, selling his impractical and very expensive scanners. Before, he thought it was a scanner that would bring wealth and turnaround in their lives. Can always see the helpless face of the doctor. Seeing him looking enviously at the back of a stock broker, and then standing in the crowd looking at the passing crowd, everyone had a bright smile on his face, he wondered why everyone was so happy? Except myself. Seeing that he got into the same car in order to win the opportunity and time to communicate with a securities broker, he said that he would share the fare, only to find out later that he did not have enough money on him, so he chose, the escape fee , So, there is the figure of a man who was desperately chased by the car. Fortunately, he escaped, but the damn subway door clipped the scanner in his hand. Watching him say with anticipation but a little shrinking that he wanted to be a stockbroker, his wife laughed and taunted. Sometimes, a man's ideals seem to a woman like a child's wild fantasy. He wanted encouragement and support, but he couldn't. Looking at his wife, he could no longer endure such a poor life, such a life without improvement, and left angrily, his sadness and helplessness, and his request, just hope that his son can stay by his side. Seeing that he finally stood out from the crowd and became an intern of a securities company, he hesitated. At this time, what he needed most was money, and everything that the internship gave him did not include this most important thing. But, fortunately, he persevered. Started a six-month internship. His efforts are obvious to all. Seeing that he was so desolate that the rent owed for a long time made the landlord angrily throw their belongings outside the house, and the room was changed. With a tired heart, he dragged his only cherished son and began to wander, looking for a place to live. Then there was a father and son snuggling in the corner of the public bathroom. He locked the door. When someone thought it was convenient recently, he pressed his foot against the door, not daring to make a sound, and the sadness on his face was unbearable to me. Then he took his son to the rescue station and lined up in a long line, just to have a night's accommodation and a meal. In order not to miss the line at 5 o'clock every day, he had to rush to work desperately, and then go there in time to wait. I would always see him running non-stop, followed by a little child not far behind. Such a scene made people unable to stop crying. Later, it turned out to be selling blood. ...is this survival? Maybe it's like a sentence in the lyrics of "Infernal Affairs": survival is often crueler than fate, but no one is willing to admit defeat. Yes, no one wants to throw in the towel. Therefore, we only saw the happy ending of the last bright, he really became a stockbroker. When a man who seemed so strong in any predicament learned that he was hired, he was so excited but left tears in the crowd. This scene moved me and shocked me, really, shocked. Perhaps, we should really believe in hope, in perseverance, in the future, and in many things that we thought were predestined. No matter how embarrassing the predicament is, as long as you work hard, you will definitely change, as long as you work hard, you will definitely gain something, right? Although, perseverance may not necessarily lead to results, but there will always be gains, no matter which aspect of the gains. Sometimes I will take the trouble to ask others: Are you happy? Are you happy? Is your life now what you want it to be? But, it seems, the answer people give me is always negative, is it that people are too dissatisfied, or is life really failing us? I do not know either. Perhaps, people will understand what happiness is only when they really face the problem of survival. I think that's what this show is trying to tell us.
