The Lonely Warrior: A Gripping Tale of Crime, Redemption, and Unbreakable Bonds
A few days ago, I was listening to a book blogger on Bilibili explaining the novel "The Lonely Warrior." The novel is just over 10,000 words long and tells the story of the detective team, The Lonely Warrior, who are in pursuit of two brothers who are thieves. However, they end up being implicated and imprisoned by the thieves. The story revolves around Captain Cheng Bing, who is released from prison after 12 years and sets out to seek justice. It's a story that can be completed in about ten minutes.
I thought about adapting it into a movie, which would be a challenge for the screenwriter. However, this time, the screenwriter did a great job, and the handling of some details left a deep impression. Unfortunately, I was fifteen minutes late to the cinema, and I missed some touching moments. As soon as I arrived at the theater, the thief Wang Da Yong was captured by The Lonely Warrior and his comrades. Wang Da Yong's arrogance and indifference infuriated them, so they taught him a lesson. Unexpectedly, Wang Da Yong had an accident, which resulted in all of The Lonely Warrior's comrades being sentenced alongside him.
The casting was well done, and it was disheartening to see former heroes ending up in prison, one divorced and estranged from his family, one selling insurance, one turning to Buddhism, one becoming a chef, and one training police dogs. It made me sympathize with them. However, they never forgot their original intentions and embarked on a thousand-mile journey to capture the fugitives. With my current level of writing, I cannot express the impact the movie had on me. A good story has the power to touch the soul and leave a lasting impression, and "The Lonely Warrior" is exactly that.
Although I haven't watched the drama version of "The Lonely Warrior," I'm certain it can't compare to the movie adaptation!
