When Zhou Bingkun was a coolie, he was kind-hearted and helped an old man unintentionally. Unexpectedly, the identity of this old man is not simple, and it turned out to be the founding major general Ma Shouchang. With Cai's help, Zhou Bingkun, who went to work in the soy sauce factory, was noticed by Qu Xiuzhen because Zhou Bingkun saved his old man. With the help of Qu Xiuzhen, Zhou Bingkun's work and career have made a qualitative leap.
Later, Ma Shouzhu became the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, but he still kept in touch with Zhou Bingkun. These young people also rode bicycles to visit the old couple from time to time. Whenever this happens, Qu and Ma's faces are filled with sincere smiles. Between them, the audience only saw warm feelings, and there was no class contradiction.
The ending of Ma Shouchang's On Earth
Qu died, and his son was not around when he died, only Ma Shouchang. Although I have no feelings for my son, my mother must miss him very much. Every time I talk about my son, Secretary Qu always looks cold.
But he is also his own flesh and blood after all. If he didn't see him for the last time, he must have died with regret. Alone, Ma Shouchang definitely wanted to use his last time to make up for his regret with his wife, so he chose to live with his son in Shanghai. Even if I die in the future, I won't leave with lifelong regrets like my wife.
