I think we should cherish the people around us. There was once a question on Zhihu about whether Liu Hongchang is a good man. The answerers have different opinions, some think he is, some think he is not. Personally, I think it is accurate to say that Liu Hongchang is. A not-so-perfect good man with a sense of responsibility. There is a plot in the play where Hong Chang said to Wen Tao: A man is like a mountain and a woman's backer. He should be beaten, killed and charged. Wen Tao kept it in mind and thought that he was instigating his brother-in-law to commit murder. In fact, Wen Tao did not understand the meaning of the words correctly.

He means that a man must be responsible and have the courage to protect women. Liu Hongchang is a chef who cooks braised large intestines in the canteen. After all, he is a rough man with limited education. He did not express it accurately. It was Wen Tao who got it wrong. Of course, sometimes he does too well and treats his parents' family in all aspects, no matter how big or small. This is too tiring, but it doesn't need to be like this. Just like with Wenda, as long as he studies well, he doesn't have to do any work. Wen Da had never done any housework, and he couldn't even cook. He had to wait for his brother-in-law to come back before he could eat, and Yu Qiuhua didn't let him do it either. So much so that Wenda loved vanity, despised poverty and loved wealth.

In fact, Liu Hongchang can choose Yang Maixiang or another woman after Wen Hui leaves, as long as he comes to help here from time to time. But he didn't do this and instead gave up the opportunity to choose. Perhaps he felt guilty for Wen Hui, had responsibility for the family, and also had Wen Hui's entrustment. But it is indeed rare to be able to support Wen Tao in school for more than ten years and protect this family until Wen Tao comes back. He is sometimes a bit stubborn on Wenyuan's issues. He insists on his own opinions and is not very flexible, and his handling methods are not appropriate. But no one is perfect. Liu Yunchang was not very sensible. He had no children and wanted someone else's child. He spoke to Wen Hui in an arrogant manner like an elder. He also kept telling the Liu family that if you have the ability, don't give birth to him yourself.

At the end, when everyone started digging rocks to save Liu Hongchang, they remembered the goodness of their brother-in-law, brother, and friend. Only then can they awaken their inner conscience. Therefore, people must know how to cherish when they have it. Don't wait until they lose it to think of all the good things they have and regret it.
