There are several great men like Lao Huang in the film, and each person's story has its own twists and turns. One of the most impressive fragments is that Lao Hang "changed" a counterfeit hundred-dollar bill he received to a female employer, but it was opened on the spot, and the female employer finally kindly replaced it with a real bill. At this time, the camera was aimed at Lao Hang, and the word "shame" was written in his tears. Receiving counterfeit money means losing a month's rent for him, but spending this counterfeit money makes him lose his last dignity.
Although they are a group of "coolies", the director did not shoot condescendingly with sympathetic eyes. On the contrary, there is always a cheerful atmosphere in the film. Great men are poor, but every penny is earned by their own sweat. In the pursuit of a better life, everyone has never given up hope, and they are also trying to stick to their simple bottom line.
"The Last Stick" tells the real experiences of Lao Huang, He Nan and Lao Gan, and records the fate of the mountain city "Bangbangjun" disappearing and occupying in the tide of the times:
Director He used to be a regimental officer. After changing jobs, he didn't choose an iron rice bowl. Instead, I take the living expenses of 1.300 yuan and live with a wedding photographer hired by myself with a monthly salary of 2 1.000 yuan. He lived at No.53, Gigi Lai Lane, a shanty town in Chongqing, and started his professional baseball career for more than a year. The purpose of making sticks is to film and record the lives of such a group of low-level workers who make a living as coolies.
