Distressed Laughter

At the end of the Cultural Revolution, various media were full of far-left remarks and lies. Fu Bin (played by Li Zhiyu), who had just been transferred from the cadre school to the society, was very distressed by this. Colleague Reporter Li (played by Shi Jiufeng) told him to muddle through everything and not to take it too seriously, but the reporter's conscience tortured Fu Bin from time to time. One day, under the orders of Secretary Song (played by Yuan Yue) of the newspaper, he and reporter Li went to the medical school for an interview. They witnessed a very absurd scene with their own eyes, which greatly stimulated their hearts. In desperation, he went to consult his old mentor (played by Qiao Qi) who was almost driven crazy for telling the truth. Back home, he and his wife recalled the time of first love and the pure and honest life between people. He decided to find Secretary Song and beg him not to let him write deceitful articles.

The upright Fu Bin was arrested and imprisoned for telling the truth, but he firmly believed that the country would not continue like this forever...
