Recently, I watched a highly rated film on Douban, that is, Dying to Survive. It is said that this film is based on real events, after watching or feeling very deep.
The film tells the story of a drugstore owner who discovers his conscience after starting his career selling drugs from India. Indian god oil shop owner said Yong, from a male health care product seller who could not afford to pay rent, once became the exclusive agent of Indian generic drug "Gleevec", in the process of making money and saving patients and patients' families have a series of emotional disputes, and finally face moral dilemma, return to the humane road of human redemption. Stories that bring warmth and hope to patients with kindness and justice.
In fact, this film is very "beautiful ". The beauty is in the truth, the beauty shines in the brilliance of humanity. The main man is a small person, of course, can not escape the heavy pressure of life. But in order to save people, he dared to give up his money, even at the great risk of prison, which is a kind of human beauty, a kind of hope. This film also let me feel very "pain ". In this film, although we sometimes feel not so comfortable, but almost no one can find the hard injury, it seems that everyone is not wrong. As a police officer, we need to maintain the dignity of the law; As a pharmaceutical company, it needs to make profits and protect its legitimate interests. As patients, they have a sacred right to life; As the sellers of medicine, they do not cheat, not for greed, only to accumulate virtue and good deeds, sell medicine to people in need.
After reading it, I fell into deep thinking, that is, how to view the relationship between "law and emotion". Law has the highest authority in the adjustment of many social relations, and human beings write the content of public and common interests into the law, precisely to maintain the basic conscience and order of this society, so that this society can maintain the most basic temperature. Then, as a law, we should show the great love of society from a macro perspective, and should give due consideration to human relations and the most basic moral emotions of mankind. From this point of view, "law" and "emotion" should not have a fierce conflict at the strategic level. Therefore, the law should be able to do both to the extent possible, although this degree is often difficult to grasp, but the direction is not wrong. Just imagine, if a law can not give people hope and security, then the positioning and value of the law itself will be shaken. As for what we often say about "the incompatibility of the law ", it mainly means that our private feelings, likes and dislikes cannot be imposed on the law and become the criteria for judging the right and wrong, rather than ignoring the factors of morality and conscience.
In fact, some things are themselves a complex "polyhedron". Standing in a different Angle, and even have a completely different understanding. For example, we hate this multinational drug company for overpricing and having no social conscience or ethics. But at the same time, we should see that the company has invested a lot of manpower, material and financial resources in the development of this drug, and they are bound to recoup the cost. Take, for example, state-set tariffs and the inclusion of drugs in health care. Just imagine, if there is no tariff, national pharmaceutical companies can not develop healthily, and in the end, it is not the interests of our broad masses that are harmed? The inclusion of drugs in medical insurance should consider the ability and necessity of national finance. This is because, so far, our country is far from reaching the kind of large-scale, high-quality medical service guarantee ability, helpless, can only prioritize which basic, key projects. Many, many problems are historical, are phased, many times, have nothing to do with the will, emotion, but the ability to reach, helpless, angry.
In addition, we should also understand that the law has its own domain and range, it can not regulate all social contradictions, perhaps when the contradictions between the society break through a certain limit, the law will intervene.
The road of life is long, many small people in the flood of The Times, always seem so powerless. In the orbit of fate, often can not move. However, all men are created equal, and we are all members of the social family. In the face of fate and misfortune, each of us may be weak. Perhaps it is because of poor birth, poor living environment, perhaps genetic or major changes, or the disease can not be treated. But either misfortune deserves sympathy. Who's to say they won't be who they are today?
Life has been so difficult, may we help each other, in addition to the law, but also have a moral heart. For example, after recovering costs, can pharmaceutical companies consider significantly reducing prices? This is not a matter of law; it is a matter of responsibility and morality.
I'm thinking maybe this society has its own problems. Law and morality are the "Gryenins" of society. May all laws and rules in this world keep up with the pace of social development; otherwise, the difference may have to be made up by our suffering.
Finally, let's talk about the actors in this film. The dedication they showed in the shooting process gave me a more positive and optimistic understanding of young actors, domestic films and small-budget films. It also makes us full of hope for the future development of domestic films. The society needs to map social phenomena through such films, so as to lead people to have correct values and thoughts.
