Movie Variety Show: Starting from a New World

After Zhou Changli had a full meal at home, he asked his mother about his father's situation.

"Your father is gone!" The mother said these four simple words, but they were like a bolt from the blue to Zhou Changli's ears.

"Why doesn't my dad have it?" Zhou Changli asked tremblingly.

"Your father was dragged away by them for criticism. He couldn't bear the humiliation and committed suicide!" Zhou's mother actually had some resentment in her heart, but not towards those who criticized him, but towards Zhou's father.

Ultimately, Zhou's father had too much self-esteem. He was just a small businessman in the Beijing market before, but he felt like a respectable person just because people praised him a few times.

There were many people who were criticized along with Zhou's father, but not one of them committed suicide because they couldn't stand the indignation! They left her with a whole family and left her to be a woman. What should she do?

"Who are they? Why are they criticizing my father?" Zhou Changli didn't think so. He just felt that if that group of people didn't cause trouble for his father, his father would not have committed suicide.

"What? Do you still want to take revenge on them?" asked Zhou's mother.

"Isn't it my duty to seek revenge on them? The hatred for killing my father is irreconcilable!" Zhou Changli said viciously.

"There are dozens or hundreds of people there, can you really kill them all? Your father has been silent at home since his shop was confiscated and has not worked hard every day. What was he doing when I, his mother, went out to work with a big belly? You only think about your father, why don't you think about your mother?" Zhou's mother was also angry with her eldest son.

None of them are worry-free! Zhou's father has no sense of responsibility for this family. Even when he went to ask for help, it was Zhou's mother who came forward, and Zhou's father was silent on the side. Now he is enjoying his life and leaving the family to her! How can Zhou's mother not be sad that her son is just like his father?

Zhou Changli was speechless after hearing what his mother said. Looking at his mother's gray hair, Zhou Changli wondered if he had gone a little too far.

But isn't it natural to avenge one's father? Would he let his father's death be in vain? Although his father might be a little impulsive and not very good at managing them, he was still Zhou Changli's biological father, wasn't he?

"Jiuer, I'm telling you, don't think about revenge or anything like that. On the one hand, there are many people participating in the criticism and it's impossible for you to do anything to all of them. Secondly, I, your mother, am already very tired of running the family alone. Can you please stop causing me more trouble? The third and most important point is that you just got out. If you go in again, how will your mother live?" The three reasons given by Zhou's mother made Zhou Changli feel increasingly heavy-hearted.

It’s not easy for mom. I’m not a child anymore, so I should help her support the family!

Zhou Changli didn't say anything in the end, but went out to find Li Kuiyong. Whenever he encountered something, Zhou Changli would chat with Li Kuiyong and ask him for advice.

When Zhou Changli arrived at Li Kuiyong's home, he found out that Li Kuiyong was not at home. Li Kuiyong was about to take his graduation exams and was working hard at school every day to get his junior high school diploma.

"Jiuer, sit here for a while, Kuiyong will be back soon!" Mother Li said to Zhou Changli while doing handicrafts.

"Aunt, I see your family's life has improved a lot in recent years. You even have a radio!" Zhou Changli said in surprise, looking at the radio on the cabinet.

"Well, that's nothing. Director Zhao helped Kuiyong's father find a job sweeping the streets. He usually helps Lao Wang at the scrap yard and helps him collect some scrap. So Lao Wang gave your Uncle Li a broken radio collected by their unit. Kuiyong specially asked someone to help repair it, and now he has this thing." Li's mother said with a smile.

"Oh? My Uncle Li doesn't pull the cart anymore? He can't earn much a month sweeping the streets, right?" Zhou Changli asked curiously.

"You can get twenty yuan a month. It's not bad! Your Uncle Li used to earn only fifty or eighty cents a day pulling a rickshaw. Sweeping the streets is much easier than that, and the income is not much less than pulling a rickshaw. Moreover, your Uncle Li will go out to help pull a rickshaw during his rest time, so he can earn a little more! In addition, Kuiyong doesn't fight anymore, so the medical expenses he spends less every month are not small! It's normal to live a better life!" Mother Li is very satisfied with her current life and couldn't help laughing when she talked about it.

When Zhou Changli heard what Li's mother said, he knew that someone was helping Li Kuiyong's family, otherwise such a big change would not have happened in their family!

"Aunt Li, who helped my Uncle Li find a job?" Zhou Changli asked curiously.

"It was Director Zhao, whom Li Kuiyong knew, who helped find it!" said Li's mother.

"The Zhao Cheng from Xizhimen Police Station?" Zhou Changli asked tentatively.

"Yes, it's Director Zhao Cheng! He is our Li family's great benefactor!" Mother Li said with a smile.

When Zhou Changli heard Zhao Cheng, he thought it was all too familiar. If it weren't for Zhao Cheng's meddling, how could he have been incarcerated for three years? How could his father have committed suicide out of despair? But he was being kind to Li Kuiyong, so he couldn't let Li Kuiyong refuse his kindness, could he?

Just as Zhou Changli was thinking, Li Kuiyong pushed the door open and walked in.

"Jiuer, when did you come back?" Li Kuiyong was very happy to see Zhou Changli. After all, their relationship was there, and being childhood friends was not just talk.

"I just got back today. Come on, Kuiyong, accompany me for a walk!" Zhou Changli knew that Li Kuiyong's house was not a place to talk, so he pulled Li Kuiyong out.

Li Kuiyong did not refuse. He put down his schoolbag and followed Zhou Changli out.

The two soon arrived at the shore of Shichahai and found a big rock to sit on.

"Xiaojiu, did you just come out today?" Li Kuiyong asked.

"Well, I just came out today. I just had a meal at home and then came out to find you! Kui Yong, tell me the truth, who participated in the criticism of my father?" Zhou Changli said seriously.

Li Kuiyong looked at Zhou Changli with a murderous look on his face, and didn't know whether to tell Zhou Changli about these things. In fact, he also went to see when Zhou Changli's father was criticized. To be honest, Li Kuiyong didn't want Zhou Changli to know about these situations. There was no other reason, he just couldn't afford to offend him.

"Kui Yong, if you really treat me as a friend, don't hide anything from me. I hope you can tell me! Even if you don't say it, others will tell it! I don't believe that this matter can be kept secret from me forever!" Zhou Changli said.

"Jiuer, let me ask you first, even if you know about it, what can you do? Can you still seek revenge on them? Besides, there are so many people, who do you want to take revenge on?" Li Kuiyong thought for a moment and asked Zhou Changli.

"Then I want revenge too! My father's death must not be in vain! I won't let any of those people go! What right do they have to criticize my father?" Zhou Changli's face was sinister and his tone was cold.

"Jiuer, we are just ordinary people. If you fight with others, you will always be the one who suffers! So I think you just need to know about this matter and don't delve into it! We can't help you with revenge!" Li Kuiyong tried to persuade her. He didn't want his childhood friend to go down the road of no return.

"Tell me who they are first! Let me hear it!" Zhou Changli did not answer directly, but asked curiously.

"They are all a bunch of kids from the compound, all dressed in officer uniforms. I don't know any of them, and I haven't seen many of them since then! I really don't know who they are specifically. Their circle is different from ours. We know those people!" Li Kuiyong finally told Zhou Changli.

"Children from the compound? Are you sure?" Zhou Changli asked in surprise. How dare these children from the compound mess with him? Even though he was in jail, he would be out sooner or later. Aren't they afraid of our retaliation?

"What's there to be uncertain about? To be honest, Jiuer, the situation is different now. We kids who grew up in the alleys really can't afford to offend others! You'd better keep quiet! Find a good job to make a living, and let your mother not have to work so hard! Aunt Zhou has been visibly thinner since your father passed away. It's all because of exhaustion!" Li Kuiyong was still trying to save his childhood friend.

Unfortunately, Li Kuiyong's kindness was in vain. If Zhou Changli was a truly discerning person, he wouldn't have attacked Zhao Cheng even though he knew it was wrong! He wouldn't have been in jail for the past few years!

"Okay, Kuiyong, let's not talk about me anymore. How have you been these past few years? I heard from Aunt Li that you are going to get a junior high school diploma?" Zhou Changli did not continue the topic, but asked about Li Kuiyong's situation.

"Hey, this gives me a headache too. You know, we are not cut out for studying! I am just doing this anyway! I must get a junior high school diploma! Otherwise, Uncle Zhao will beat me to death!" Li Kuiyong said with a smile and waved his hand.

"Uncle Zhao? Is that Zhao Cheng?" Zhou Changli asked.

"Yes, it's Zhao Cheng, the director of Xizhimen Police Station, who you wanted to stab with a knife! It's a pity that Uncle Zhao, such a good man, can't escape the fate of being persecuted. Although he still has the title of director, the work he does is exactly the work of an ordinary police officer! There is only one thing. After Uncle Zhao voluntarily gave up his power, no one dared to cause trouble for him anymore! It also prevented Uncle Zhao from being involved in the current vortex!" Li Kuiyong is also very familiar with Zhao Cheng's current situation. He has no real power and patrols the streets every day.

Upon hearing that Zhao Cheng was still the director but no longer had any real power, Zhou Changli decided not to deal with him for now. His main target now remained the gang of idiots from the compound who had forced his father to death. Even if the perpetrators weren't in Peking, didn't they still have families? Zhou Changli planned to teach them a lesson. It was time for that fearsome little bastard to be heard throughout Beijing once again!

Zhou Changli couldn't let his idol's reputation be damaged! It was time to let the people on Beiping Road know that he, the little bastard Zhou Changli, was back!
