"The Knockout" 1914

The second poster shows retitled "Counted Out" originally called "Knockout".

Technically this is a Roscoe Arbuckle film (Charlie is in it as a referee for approx. 2.5 minutes). But like others (Tillie’s Punctured Romance - Marie Dressler was the star) once Charlie attained worldwide fame, to cash in it would appear they were Chaplin starring vehicles.

Gao Qiqiang sat as the two stacks of money lay on the table. He stared at them for moment. A single tear rolled down his cheek. He picked them up and carefully examined them. These small stacks. a person's life was only worth these small stacks.

He understood that someone had died today. Other than the two unlucky fellows who died in the pond, that scrupulous and cowardly Gao Qiqiang, that Gao Qiqiang who struggled to earn a living for decades, that Gao Qiqiang who never cared for his own dignity also died today. He pondered, he lamented, he paced at the line separating good and evil.

The next day, the brilliant sun illuminated the earth, but Gao Qiqiang's sun never rose again.

I haven't been this emotionally moved/impacted by a fictional character in a very long time... one of the absolute best I've seen in cdramas, ever

狂飙 took over my life for most of this summer xd

Why do they always make this man get beat up and cry like seriously give 张译 a break and unlimited free therapy

was i looking at @niimdam 's crazy good greed fanart? you bet I was! I had to try those bold strokes and high contrast, and make myself feel very, very bad at everything _._ I can't even do good anatomy when I'm looking at it lol

Let's also talk about the people around Gao Qiqiang who are there and utterly loyal to him because of what he did for them in the past.

Qisheng, own brother first, but also for whose sake he first stepped on the path that led him to the end he got.

The Tang brothers, bullies at first but after the Xu Lei incident, forever Qiqiang's men.

Shuting, who only trusts two men and marries one of them.

Chen [x]mo, who also only trusts (the same) tqo men, who was given Qiqiang's old life and whose daughter becomes Qiqiang's.

And then there's the other stuff he does, not entirely out of self-interest: the kindergarten he opens and keeps open until working parents return, providing the kids with three free meals and transport back home.

The old age home with round the clock care, and community for the olds.

Sure, it turns out that these places are available only to a certain category of people - Gao Qiqiang doesn't operate selflessly - but he has thought about what is required and fills that need effectively.

Not everyone is silent about his crimes because they're afraid to speak.

God I love this character.
