Wu Zhenyu performed Ni Yongxiao as a natural tragedy and melancholy. His father was shot and killed, and he was appointed to take over the family gang when he was in danger. He was a triad, but he was also a son, a father, and the backbone of the entire Ni family. Some people say that after watching Infernal Affairs for the second time, they found that the only good person is the biggest villain... This is undoubtedly the biggest ridicule. Life is not black and white, and it is not that you can do whatever you want with one hand.

He often wears the simplest shirts, no suits and no ties, but he is self-possessed and refined. Although he wears gold-rimmed glasses, his eyes are haggard and sad. But it is such a person who was pushed to the edge of the knife by life, shouldering the family business, rising and falling.

He longs for happiness and ease. Just like every Ni family. Even Uncle Kun, before his death, was playing cards and singing in an unremarkable private house. (can't remember exactly). But the burden on his shoulders fell, and he had to bear it

When watching a movie, I couldn't feel bad enough for him. Such a person, who dedicates his life to his family, is responsible, talented, and knows how to endure humiliation. The atmosphere of the whole movie was like suffocating him in the water, unable to breathe.

Under the hail of bullets, there are a few people who can understand the difficulty of Ni Yongxiao.

Maybe not just Ni Yongxiao, but more like the world of every adult. Behind the feasting and feasting, is the exhaustion after returning home.

Perhaps death is more of a relief for Ni Yongxiao, and the enormous pressure has made him breathless. But he couldn't stop it, and in the end, couldn't keep his family safe.

Desperate to be betrayed by his biological brother, and even more desperate to be betrayed by his own life

But it is

People live to suffer in the endless hell.

Come and go, empty
