Why does Xu Wenqiang always have a melancholy expression in the TV series Shanghai Beach?

? When watching the TV series "Shanghai Beach", in the versions of Chow Yun Fat and Huang Xiaoming, when they portray the role of Xu Wenqiang, they always use melancholy expressions to describe Xu Wenqiang's inner situation. Why is this happening? This should be judged from Xu Wenqiang's personality and mental journey. My analysis is as follows.

First of all, at the beginning of the TV series, Xu Wenqiang appeared as a down-and-out college student from Beiping. He was put in prison after a student movement, and his image of being down and out just came out. At the beginning, he was full of passion and great ambition to save the country and the people. As a progressive youth, he recognized the situation clearly in the face of cruel reality. The failure and frustration of the revolution disheartened him. He had to give up all his past wishes and come to Shanghai, and decided to start over.

? Second, did he really give up his lofty passion for justice and patriotism? Has he completely turned into a social person who regards gold as his life and smells like copper? I don't think so. When he saw Feng Jingyao contacting the Japanese, smuggling arms together and killing the people of China, he did not hesitate to sacrifice himself, destroy the arms and finally fled to Hongkong. Explain that he never gave up justice and patriotism in his heart.

? Thirdly, when his and Li Ding's industries were completely lost overnight because of the fighting between gangs, when Feng Jingyao wanted to recruit them, Li Ding was filled with joy, but deeply depressed. Anyone with social experience can see his mood at this time. He doesn't want to entrust himself to others. Even in business, he should be independent and create his own world. He is ambitious. Besides, Feng Jingyao was a rogue at first, and he didn't want to go along with it.

Fourthly, when his college classmate Lu Qiubai founded the newspaper, they talked together. When they called him a running dog, he was also in pain. His conscience has not disappeared, and his sense of national justice has not disappeared.

To sum up, Xu Wenqiang's melancholy is caused by the contradiction between justice and reality in his heart, and he is depressed because of the confusion of his life goals. In fact, he is eager to realize his great ambition in college, but the cruelty of reality makes him realize his weakness. There is no other way out but to compromise with reality. Even though he earns a lot of money, he is sometimes unhappy. He has higher ambitions in his heart. Melancholy accompanied him.
