I'm afraid it's too late
In order to fully recall that painful experience and let people living in a peaceful society not forget the faltering development of China, David recently released many works with the theme of reform and opening up. Like "Big Rivers", "I'm afraid it's too late" and so on.
Compared with the all-round development of big rivers, it may be too late to focus on one aspect. The play, starring Tang Zeng, tells the story that Li Chunsheng, a coal miner, led his own coal miners to complete the reorganization in the 1990s after the reform and opening up, facing the challenges of coal mine work and family changes, so that his family could have a happy life.
The best help is to do what you can.
I'm afraid it is too late. This drama mainly reflects the life changes of the working class in China after the reform and opening up through the business families in Li Chunsheng. Li Chunsheng, the hero here, is a very capable person who dares to pursue his own happiness, take bold actions, be affectionate and righteous, and be hardworking.
But this person still has a very big problem, which is also a common problem that most of us will make, namely, hitting the face and being fat. Although Li Chunsheng is the person in charge of a coal mine, the coal mine is tottering with little income.
In addition, Li Chun gave birth to a mother, and his wife died alive. This mother-in-law has been paralyzed in bed. Not only is she unable to work, but she also needs people to spend time worrying about her food, clothing, housing and transportation.
At the same time, he has to take care of the daughter of his dead wife's sister, that is, his niece. There are three people in the family who eat and have no labor. You can imagine how hard this life is. He can't even guarantee his own life to help others. This is not kindness, but aggravates the difficulties of family members and the guilt of others.
To sum up, I think it is meaningless for Li Chunsheng to help his younger brother when he can't keep himself.
