"Perfect Companion": No matter whether you are successful or not, please learn to live a good life and stay away from manic depression!
Text | Populus euphratica
In "Perfect Companion", Kang Lai, a pharmaceutical professor invited by Wu You from abroad, suffers from bipolar disorder.
In the play, Professor Kang is unable to control his violent and volatile emotions, which affects his normal sleep, making him look like a psychopath.
Professor Kang reminds me of those celebrities in life who we seem to be superior to. Will their lives be another kind of chicken feathers?
There are often some examples of depression on the Internet:
The host Tan Qiao, who has made audiences across the country laugh for 16 years, has depression; Zhu Dan, the first sister of Zhejiang Satellite TV, is depressed; Zhang Dada suddenly revealed his depression on Weibo late at night; Bai Yansong has been suffering from depression for five years. Many comedians and comedians have brought infinite joy to the audience on stage, but outside the stage, they cannot escape from depression; February 3 In the evening, the rap brother said that An Dahun passed away due to depression...
I have always wondered. I always thought that mental illnesses such as bipolar disorder, depression, mania, social phobia, etc. are more common among the poor. The probability of the disease will be higher. If you don't have the ability or money to solve many things, you can only die in despair, which will eventually lead to depression and bipolar disorder.
But those who are successful and have no worries about food and clothing, what else do they have to worry about? Is there anything you can’t think about? How can one be manic and depressed?
In the play, Sun Lei, a graduate student from 985 College, explains this:
“Many people with high IQs will suffer from this disease. It is pathological. There are also psychological reasons. Because they have high expectations, are too perfectionistic, and are very kind, so if things are not so perfect, they will blame themselves."
Sun Lei used to be a researcher. Antidepressants, so he knows these principles better than others.
It’s just that after Sun Lei got married, because Chen Shan was busier and more motivated than Sun Lei, the responsibility of taking care of the family and raising her daughter gradually fell on Sun Lei’s shoulders.
So, Sun Lei had to slowly give up his ideals and become a migrant worker who could do any job in order to survive.
Faced with Professor Kang's capriciousness, Sun Lei, who was accustomed to raising his daughter, had enough patience to soothe Professor Kang's emotions, and also had too much professional knowledge and methods to divert Professor Kang's attention.
When receiving Professor Kang, Sun Lei appeared in front of Professor Kang as a driver. What Professor Kang didn't know was that Wu Min asked his sister Wu You for this driver's job.
Sun Lei's situation at that time was at the end of its rope. He even wants to apply for a job as a Didi driver or a real estate agent.
Sun Lei saw that Professor Kang was really exhausted physically and mentally, so he chose to take short-acting sleeping pills to force his brain to rest when it was time to have a meeting with investors.
This is not simply what Wu You explained to Sun Lei, "Professor Kang's child has a temper, just calm it down." He has bipolar disorder.
"How can they directly use our research and development? What's the point of my research and development? These thieves!" Professor Kang's crazy complaining behavior surprised the calm Sun Lei.
He immediately asked Wu You, "Does Professor Kang suffer from bipolar disorder?"
Wu You then explained to Sun Lei, "Professor Kang was once the most talented person at Stanford. The young tenured professor was treated for bipolar disorder for two years, and the FDA had just approved his new drug."
Wu You thought he was cured, so he invited him to return to China to participate in a drug research and development project. , it is said that the market value of the project developed by Professor Kang is more than 80 billion.
But unexpectedly, when he was stimulated by counterfeit drugs this time, he suffered from bipolar disorder again.
"The pressure is mine and has nothing to do with him." Wu You sighed.
“We must protect both the molecular formula and the RMB.” Wu You’s words are truly classic. Who has it easier? It’s not easy for R&D personnel, nor is it easy for investors, but is it easy for pharmaceutical companies?
However, before new drugs have time to hit the market, imitation drugs are flooding in. No wonder Professor Kang is so angry! Years of hard work and hundreds of millions of dollars invested are all meaningless.
Moreover, counterfeit drugs also make patients prone to suicide after taking them.
Counterfeit drugs are fatal to companies, but they are even more cruel to patients.
Therefore, Professor Kang is helpless, collapsed, and powerless.
"I'm just a confused person. I can't do anything except make medicine." Professor Kang roared, unable to control his emotions.
Sun Lei gave Professor Kang two candies and said they were medicinal candies. Among them was a Chinese herbal medicine called Hypericum perforatum, which could help focus and soothe emotions.
Professor Kang, who was born in pharmaceuticals, actually ate candy and believed in Sun Lei, and his mood was relieved.
It’s actually just ordinary sugar. Because sugar can make people feel happy, it can sometimes be used as a placebo to soothe people's emotions.
Only a person with Sun Lei's personality can do such a leisurely and soothing thing. He said that he got it by coaxing his daughter. In fact, it was his own calm personality and kindness to others that made him patient enough for everyone.
When Professor Kang discovered that another patient had committed suicide by taking counterfeit drugs, his guilt broke out again and he even wanted to leave the hotel secretly.
"I don't want to hand out knives to those murderers. I have become an accomplice to murder." He felt that all the responsibility lies with him. If he had not developed those drugs, no one would imitate them. There will be no side effects that make people want to commit suicide after taking the medicine.
In the car, Professor Kang's irritable and manic attitude met Sun Lei's slowness and calmness. Professor Kang gradually calmed down and chatted with Sun Lei about home affairs.
Sun Lei laughed at himself about his failed life. He lost his job, his ideals, and even his wife. But when Professor Kang asked "Do you regret it?" Sun Lei said frankly: "Whether you regret it or not is your own life experience."
While talking, Sun Lei naturally talked about the article he saw in Professor Kang’s room. He suspected that there was a PDCD4 substance in the imitation product that could cause depression in people, thus causing the patient to commit suicide. , a key molecule in controlling emotions.
This instantly reminded Professor Kang that his plan to escape just now turned into an urgent need to return to the laboratory immediately. Sun Lei successfully brought Professor Kang back to the laboratory.
In the laboratory, Professor Kang immediately asked Sun Lei to work with him to complete the consistency evaluation of generic drugs and the research and development of the antidepressant properties of the drugs.
Is it true that gold always shines? After being the sweetheart of the Gu family for more than ten years, Sun Lei still has the strength to win the favor of Professor Kang, a doctor of pharmaceuticals? Then became his assistant, and then directly promoted to a member of the laboratory?
Of course, such a plot is in line with the public's psychological trend. Otherwise, no man would be willing to give up his career purely for a woman and children.
It seems that to be a qualified warm man, you need to have the strength of 985 and 211 colleges, so that you can shine one day and not be looked down upon by others all the time.
And those who are successful should also live a little more life and make themselves more ordinary, so as not to become manic and depressed.
Read other people’s stories and warm up your own life.
