    Due to limited talent, Mustang became one of the few disciples of his father who did not become a boss.  It is precisely because the wild horse belongs to the migrant workers, so it is impossible to be as free as the boss.  After Ye Ma learned of his father's death, he could only arrive tonight.

    From the previous introduction to the Mustang, it is not difficult for everyone to see his consistent tough style.  But it was such a wild horse that looked like a tough guy, when he came to his father's ice coffin, he burst into tears regardless of any image.  His crying was different from that of his aunt (Yang Ma's mother) who came over early in the morning.

    Auntie's crying can't be considered artificial.  In my aunt's own words, her father was one of the best people to her during his lifetime.  Father was a very compassionate man.  It is precisely because of my aunt's misfortune that whenever my aunt comes to our house as a guest, my father always gives her the warmest hospitality.  Although my aunt is a girl, she has developed the habit of drinking liquor twice a day.  As long as he is at my house, at noon and evening, my father will always pour wine for my aunt himself.  Of course, what my aunt is most grateful to her father is the wild horse.  Taming the wild horse, which has always been lawless, is the greatest contribution his father has made to his aunt's family.  Therefore, in the morning, when my aunt came, she helped the coffin and cried bitterly.  Crying so heart-piercingly!  It's just that my aunt's crying is "counting crying", that is, while crying, she counts all kinds of good things about her father during his lifetime.  Therefore, such "crying" inevitably has traces of "doing it for others to see".

    Of course, it's not just my aunt who has this "appearance" approach.  Auntie is a simple-minded person, and many of her practices probably come from the environment in which she lives.  Now, many people in society like to "do it for others" to see.  For example, if a superior leader comes over, make preparations in advance, so as to show the good side as much as possible.  Therefore, the leaders who came down to inspect, saw only the scene that the people below deliberately showed them.  In this way, the leaders are happy, because what they see in their inspections is all good; the people below, especially the leaders, are also happy, because their pretentiousness is effective, and under the appreciation of the leaders above, they are happy.  The future is sure to be bright!  Such a win-win is actually quite scary.  The scary thing is that the inspection from above not only fails to find and solve the problem, but will encourage the laziness of the subordinate units.  As long as you show yourself during the inspection, you can pass the test smoothly, so who else would be willing to do some practical work in a down-to-earth manner?

    We ordinary people don't have to worry about things between cadres and cadres, because worrying can't solve any problems.  However, once such a social atmosphere is formed, it will not only harm those cadres.  Now, the reason why the "military band" can be so popular is largely because the children want to "do it for others to see".  Now, many children just want to make the funeral affairs of the old people grand, so others will only praise them for their filial piety.  Even if someone accuses him of being unfilial, they still have something to say back: "I even hired a military band (for people in rural areas, the price of a military band is still a bit expensive), so how can it be considered disobedient?"  What?" The implication is that if you are really not filial, then I will be reluctant to spend the money of the "military band".  It's just that they don't think about it carefully, can this kind of filial piety be bought with money?

    Sadly, nowadays, many people feel that the reputation of "filial piety" can be exchanged for money.  The "crying for others" I mentioned before is the best portrayal of this abnormal mentality.  The so-called "crying for others" means that filial sons can't cry themselves or don't know how to cry, so they invite people from the military band to help them cry.  Let others cry for you, so it is called "crying for you".  Of course, "crying for you" comes at a price.  The cost of "crying for you" is calculated according to the number of scenes, that is, how much is each cry.  This "crying for others" must be momentum, therefore, the "crying for others" in the military band will use the tweeter to perform "counting and crying" vividly.  Good guy, that kind of cries and acrobatics can be so loud for nine days at once.  Soon, everyone will be able to do it in all directions, and everyone will know it.  In fact, this is the effect that the crying person wants.  They just hope to let people know their filial piety to the elderly through this way.  And the most important thing is that most people will be confused by such illusions, and those who hear such cries will almost praise "filial piety".  Ever since, the most benefited became the military band.  Because, the more popular this kind of atmosphere is, the more money they can make.  Even, they will use such a public mentality to force the master to submit.  "You have to 'cry for me'! Who doesn't 'cry for me'? Don't just think about saving two dollars now, you have to think about what people will think of you afterwards?" The implication is that people  It's all like this, if you don't do this to save two dollars, then people will definitely accuse you of being unfilial.  After being fooled by the military band like this, many people had to reluctantly spend money to find someone to "cry for them"It's gone.

    Many times, I always feel that some people are trying to cover up the fact that they were not filial to the elderly by arranging a vigorous funeral.  Everyone is dead, so what's the point of doing these ostentatious things?  Why don't I want to buy such a good coffin for my father?  Why am I not arguing for a marching band?  In fact, it's all because, I think, filial piety is not about "being a person".  As long as I treat my father well when my father is alive, then I have a clear conscience.  Of course, it is really good to be nice to your parents only when your parents are alive.  Otherwise, no matter how you "do it", it will be fake.

    The reason why I think the wild horse is different from my aunt's cry is because the wild horse's cry is completely an expression of true feelings.  Mustang is just venting the sadness in his heart purely.  Mustangs don't count.  In fact, how can a person who is truly heartbroken, when crying bitterly, speak clearly one by one?  Therefore, I really hate the "crying for others" of the marching band.  I remember that there is a song called "Ten Zhang Bridge".  Listening to the sobbing voice talking clearly bridge by bridge, I felt very hypocritical and ironic.  Otherwise, I would not have put forward such a strong request that I never "cry for me" in a clear-cut manner!

    Seeing Ye Ma crying bitterly and with tears streaming down his face, I knew that my father's sincerity was not in vain.  Although Ye Ma is just an ordinary migrant worker, although Ye Ma just came empty-handed, but now, in my eyes, his image seems to have gradually become taller.  This kind of image is by no means comparable to that of my father's bosses and apprentices who look like human beings.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
