The greatest advantage of "The Beginning" is its authenticity.
It reflects the real situations in life that are rarely noticed by people, such as the struggles of people who are in and out of jail or have criminal records; another example is a construction site worker who works to support his daughter in school and eats steamed buns three meals a day with running water; or someone who works for his daughter to go to school.
Auntie Guo who seeks justice and digs out the truth.
Just because something doesn't happen to us doesn't mean it's not happening.
And "The Beginning" only reveals these things that we can't see.
Of course, another highlight of "The Beginning" is redemption.
It doesn’t just rely on repetitive gimmicks to attract the audience!
On the bus, all passengers who have unknown experiences will get their own salvation after taking this bus.
Episode seven.
The redeemed person in this episode is the uncle with the snakeskin bag.
To be honest, my uncle is very satisfied if he only has a few acres of land in his hometown to grow watermelons.
His biggest wish is to see his son.
Moreover, he wanted his mother-in-law and son to know that he could show off his skills in front of outsiders and that there would be no shame in speaking out.
However, this dream is far away.
You can't expect everyone to look at someone with a criminal record in a new light.
But this bus bombing gave him the opportunity to realize his wish.
As long as he can help the police solve this bombing case, he will be praised by the Jialin City Police Department, and will be praised by the whole society.
This is more important to him than anything else!
At the end of the seventh episode, Xiao Heyun apologized to the uncle. Li Shiqing also learned the uncle's son's views from the previous cycles and told the uncle that in fact, his son had always wanted to see him.
When the uncle distributed the crushed watermelon to everyone in the car, the audience's faces were also filled with smiles.
This is the best ending.
Although this is only the first step to redeem the uncle, there are already some different changes on this bus ride.
Immediately afterwards, the bus exploded again.
........
This time the explosion was still not prevented, but the audience felt much more at ease.
Moreover, after this time, another person was excluded.
At present, only the construction site man with the red suitcase and Aunt Guo with the pressure cooker at his feet are left.
After much thought, the two decided to test the pot first. Compared with the suitcase, the pressure cooker is obviously easier to check.
Just when Li Shiqing pretended to be on her period and asked Auntie Guo to borrow sanitary napkins, the construction site man who had been silent spoke up.
"I have it here."
Jiao Xiangrong opened the suitcase in front of everyone without any hesitation.
One thing after another was turned out.
Among them, the most memorable ones are the certificates.
Jiao Xiangrong is not from Jialin City. His hometown is far away from here. He only came to Jialin City to work and earn money.
In order to earn tuition for his daughter, Jiao Xiangrong only eats steamed buns every day and uses mobile phones that have been obsolete for many years.
Before taking this bus, he lived in a garage and was two months behind on his rent.
This suitcase was given to him by the landlord before he left.
Of course, sanitary napkins were already in the suitcase, but Jiao Xiangrong didn't want to throw them away and wanted to take them back for his daughter.
For a moment, the audience was a little sad and sighing.
The most difficult person to check actually opened the suitcase on his own initiative.
Not only that, the awards in the suitcase are enough to prove that he will not be the one with the bomb.
How can a person who has a daughter in his heart have thoughts of committing suicide?
Then the question has an answer.
The person carrying the bomb was none other than Auntie Guo with the pressure cooker at her feet.
What's in the pressure cooker is not stew, but homemade explosives.
In just a few seconds, the audience connected all the previous foreshadowings.
Why did Li Shiqing use various excuses to get out of the car several times before, and everyone in the car paid attention, but Auntie Guo didn't respond?
Why did Xiao Heyun sit behind Aunt Guo with a skeptical attitude when he first entered the loop, while Aunt Guo had a serious expression at that time?
Why was it that when the uncle shared the watermelon, everyone had smiles on their faces and took the watermelon, but only Auntie Guo refused expressionlessly?
These small details will be easy to associate if you think about them carefully.
The camera shows Auntie Guo.
The cold expression and the dull eyes simply said: I am the one who holds the bomb.
Once you have a goal, your next actions will have a direction.
First time trying to grab the pot!
fail!
Aunt Guo is very vigilant. She can wait until she gets on the cross-river bridge before detonating the bomb, but if someone provokes her, she doesn't mind detonating it in advance.
During the scramble, the fuse of the pressure cooker was pulled up.
I have to say,
When the audience sees this, they will say in admiration: Auntie Guo is a ruthless person.
You must know that this kind of bomb that can be detonated manually or at a scheduled time cannot be manufactured without very professional knowledge.
Aunt Guo was a chemistry teacher before, but ordinary chemistry teachers would never be able to do this kind of thing.
From this point of view, Auntie Guo’s hands-on ability has been recognized by all viewers.
Second try to grab the pot!
fail!
Not only was it a failure this time, Xiao Heyun's arm was scratched, but Li Shiqing was stabbed directly through the main artery in her neck, and blood spurted out.
However, in order to take care of the audience's visual experience, the picture became black and white from this moment on.
The color of the blood also turned black.
Dead people.
It was Li Shiqing who died...
The audience originally had some sympathy for Auntie Guo, because the main reason why she became what she is today is because her daughter did not receive fair and just treatment.
But now, the audience no longer sympathizes with her.
In Auntie Guo's eyes, the audience can no longer see her light on life. Anyone who hinders her from detonating the bomb will be mercilessly killed by her.
Such people are no longer tolerated by society.
What is even more chilling is that there is not a single person on the bus to help.
Even when the muscular man wearing headphones saw Auntie Guo inserting the knife into Li Shiqing's neck, he shrank back in fear.
With the sound of an explosion, time began to cycle again, and everything seemed to have returned to zero, but also seemed to have nothing at all.
Xiao Heyun fell into sleep for longer and longer, just as he guessed, he was just a minor character forced to join the cycle.
This feels like you open a two-player game. Your partner has countless lives and can use their lives to try to pass the level again and again.
But not you!
You only have five lives, or even less.
Once you run out of lives, the game may be over for you.
Xiao Heyun finally understood something in his heart.
