Several villager's wives are lamenting the unfortunate fate of Gao Xiaoqin and how she ended up with such a father at her young age, experiencing so much hardship.
But in reality, being at the bottom of society, who doesn't have an unfortunate fate? Who is truly luckier than others?
These villager's wives are also unfortunate people, living for most of their lives without ever considering the meaning of their existence.
In "In the Name of the People," Qi Tongwei said a thought-provoking statement: "Everyone knows that people come from the maternal belly and go to the grave!"
Everyone is born from their mother's womb, and the mother's identity determines the child's status at birth, the starting point of life. The child's future is not solely determined by the child's own efforts.
The inequality of life is reflected from the moment of birth. For example, if a person is born into the masses, they will strive to change their current situation and enter the field they desire.
However, for children born into official families, they are naturally endowed with more advantages, with a starting point so high that many from the lower class struggle their whole lives and still can't reach it. Whether they use their father's power in the future or not, it is said that they are born standing on a high mountain.
This maternal belly indeed plays a fundamental role in determining a person's destiny. Of course, being born into the lower class does not mean one can never rise above it.
Completely believing in the idea of "coming from the maternal belly and going to the grave," one may forget the cries of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang from a thousand years ago, "Why should the emperor and his ministers have all the fun?"
Therefore, when the villagers' wives shed tears and sigh, He Zhou has a feeling of "You stand on the bridge to see the scenery, and the scenery looks at you upstairs. The bright moon adorns your window, and you adorn someone else's dream."
As a grassroots, what else can we do besides showing mutual compassion and seeking warmth in unity?
"In the Name of the People" is more of a metaphysical drama about fate than a political drama, with the theme of 'fate' running through it from beginning to end.
There is actually another person, Li Dakang, who has a similar upbringing to Qi Tongwei. He is also a person who has come through hardships. He is not any less ambitious for power than Qi Tongwei, but he has built a stronger bottom line in his thinking.
He Zhou feels that Li Dakang's talent is not entirely focused on the GDP skill tree, but due to the background of that era, only GDP was used to judge heroes based on their GDP level.
If we say that the anti-corruption and integrity campaign is in full swing, it is possible that Li Dakang could do better than Chen Hai, Hou Liangping, and others. However, one thing is certain: he still can't outshine Chen Hai, Hou Liangping, and Sha Ruijing in terms of his role.
Because Li Dakang and Qi Tongwei are actually birds of a feather, both are climbers of power, and the latter is the inheritor of power.
Compared with Qi Tongwei, Li Dakang is lucky to have been assigned as a secretary to Zhao Lichun from the beginning. Otherwise, with his violent methods, he would have likely ended his political life by stirring up trouble from time to time.
But for Li Dakang, he actually doesn't like He Zhou.
He is not like a human, more like Fahai in "Green Snake", without the emotions of an ordinary person.
Yi Xuexi took the blame for him, almost ruining his career, but he stopped it. However, after Li Dakang rose to a high position, he never thought about promoting or repaying The other party, and watched Yi Xuexi being "idle" at the grassroots for decades.
If it weren't for Sha Ruijing, Yi Xuexi might really have been buried for a lifetime!
Like Li Dakang, who climbs up the ranks to the point of disregarding even his own family.
Someone who doesn't help anyone, not even his wife, if he were common people, might be praised as being impartial.
However, for those who interact with him, he is by no means a guy with normal human emotions. Instead, he is more like a god or Buddha sitting in the heavens, looking down on the world with compassion, yet not offering any practical help.
Of course, it cannot be ruled out that Li Dakang deliberately buried his emotions very deep and would never easily reveal them.
A person with a defect is likely to be caught and taken advantage of by their opponent.
But Qi Tongwei is very different.
The rare thing is that at least a sincere emotion is still preserved, and there is a soft virgin land in the heart, living more like a flesh-and-blood person.
For the land that raised him and the villagers who helped him, Qi Tongwei has always been grateful from the beginning to the end.
For those who have helped Qi Tongwei, He Zhou's thoughts actually align with his, willing to pull one's weight within one's capabilities.
However, as someone from among the masses, he will certainly return to among the people in the future, and won't use public power entrusted by the people like Qi Tongwei does, providing unlawful help that violates party discipline and national laws for these rustic villagers, but rather find other ways to let this village develop and make life happy and fulfilling for its residents.
And all of this, for him who holds power, is not very difficult.
