The protagonist of the story is the most ordinary worker. The plot is very ordinary and down-to-earth, but it hits the softest part of the hearts of the workers at the bottom.
Lao Zhao, who works on the construction site, died of an accident. For a promise, to return to the roots of fallen leaves, and to return to his hometown, Lao Zhao embarked on the long journey of burial with Lao Liu on his back and back to Lao Liu's hometown.
In order to cover up, Lao Zhao disguised Lao Liu as a drunk and got on a long-distance bus, but unfortunately met the robber played by Guo Degang on the way.
Guo Degang learned the whole story from the conversation, moved by Lao Zhao's kindness, and left all the money of the car that he took the risk to Lao Zhao.
Especially Guo Degang’s remarks: Be righteous, be righteous, what a fucking righteousness! It can be called the classic lines of the film and the soul of the film!
However, the robbers left, and not only did the money return to the original owner, but Lao Zhao was also driven out of the car by the passengers.
There is no way, so Lao Zhao had to stop the car on the road, but he ran into a wall everywhere.
The house was raining all night, and when I stayed in a hotel at night, Lao Zhao's money was stolen; he was eating in a roadside shop and encountered a bad-hearted shop owner and was blackmailed for hundreds of yuan; he was so hungry that he met a family on the road and was holding a funeral, so he scrambled in to cry just to make a living...
Along the way, Lao Zhao encountered one hardship after another and another setback!
Finally arrived at Lao Liu's hometown, but he was exhausted. After waking up in the hospital, the police told him that the body should be cremated according to regulations.
Lao Zhao can only agree.
Later, after many difficulties and dangers, Lao Zhao finally brought Lao Liu's ashes to his hometown.
The end of the story is even more sad: in front of Lao Zhao is a ruin, a mess, there has been demolished, and only ruins are left. On the door panel of Lao Liu's family, a message from Lao Liu's son is written...
Lao Zhao can't believe it, but he has to believe it!
The whole story, the glory of human nature shines in the sadness, the kindness of human nature reflects the heart of human nature in tears, and the thoughts reflect the whole world of society!
Maybe, that's why this movie has become a classic.
The peak production of Zhao Benshan Film and Television, I think it is "Fallen Leaves Return to the Roots"!
