This is a horror story from HELL, a masterpiece documentary of why China is so messed up
This is masterfully filmed and you can watch it on youtube, for example this site has all episodes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=28hUI7HS-0o
==================
Written after ep 5:
So this is a MASTERFUL DOCUMENTARY OF HELL, this is what hell looks like.
If you have bad karma, you get born in China - people living on top of each other in super crowded conditions and MEAN
and esp in a family like this - this is HELL
to get out of this is almost mission impossible
In poverty, everyone becomes vicious
The father is a lost case anyways
but then we have the mom's sister, etc who is consistently a greedy shark
and the little girl going for the money
and even good guys like oldest brother trying to elbow forward and ditch his sister, and letting QiQi die
Letting Qiqi die is ... wow... how can this cdrama be even called "the bond" and "heartfelt family drama" when nobody cares for Qiqi... ???? the 4 siblings and the aunt are all ditching Qiqi.... only aunt's son cares for him.
QIQI WOULD HAVE BEEN DEAD!!!!!! so how can this be a "heartfelt family drama"??? about a strong family bond??? gees...
IT IS A HORROR STORY OF THE LOWEST UGLIEST PARTS OF HUMAN BEINGS
THIS IS HORRIFYING, this is actually a horror story, straight from HELL.
where people are starving, not helping each other, destroying each other, etc.
THE STORY OF UTMOST POVERTY AND IGNORANCE
THERE IS VERY VERY LITTLE THAT IS KIND OR LOVING
IT IS LIKE LIVING IN A VERY VERY VERY CROWDED JUNGLE FULL OF MONSTERS
My stomach is turning upside down and I am just about to puke.
This is all real, unfortunately, and China has a LOT MORE bad stuff due to sheer poverty, nasty customs, creepy politics and government, and complete chaos and corruption in the country.
Like, heroin epidemics that lasted for hundreds of years,
etc
>>>>> Basically, Chinese lived as SLAVES in a cruel system for thousands and thousands of years!!!!! AND STILL LIVE LIKE THAT. And it shows!!!
China is too complex and too.... hellish
it is all about SUFFERING
literally LIVING IN HELL
I dont need to watch to the end
I am not sure I could watch to the end, this is making me feel really really sick
I know that these things exist and I see some of it and I try to fight to prevent things like this
but to see a whole country living in HELL like this is just too much
I PRAY THAT ALL THESE PEOPLE FIND PEACE JOY AND HAPPINESS AFTER LIVING IN *** H E L L *** AND *** S L A V E R Y *** FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS AND STILL SO
This is a masterpiece documentary that captures why China is so messed up
THEY LIVE IN HELL
This drama is not on Viki. Why?
The recent cdramas that fake afluent Western lifestyle are soooooo FAKE IMITATION and just a cheap cover up
yeah there are wealthy ppl in China but the reality is, China comes from THIS and also the heroin epidemics, and thousands of years of HELL, and there is no way to overcome that with the current hell that China is today
China just has too complex history of SUFFERING that keeps going on bc it is doggy eat doggy there, it is just very harsh elbowing forward
and seems like it will never change. Too much wounding over thousands of years. The feeling is just too heavy...
And I finally can state why kdramas are more fine and sophisticated - Koreans still have creativity and a wicked sense of humor. That permeates kdramas, even when cheap or trashy. Koreans are somehow FINER AND LIGHTER. I think their Buddhist past makes it so.
Koreans are being americanized really fast so they might lose it all real fast if they are not careful....
Also, this drama, The Bond, is a masterpiece in acting and certain messages, and it is very deep. It doesnt have humor.... That is what makes it heavy and sad. The episodes about children are horror and there is no place for humor there, but episodes with adults SHOULD have some humor and they don't.
Seems like China suffered so much that they lost sense of humor.
Also they lost sense of accountability, ppl make mistakes but have to stick together, so all kinds of violations are "forgiven".... so standards for human behavior are lesser...
And seems like the suffering made them go deeper.
When Chinese make something masterful, it often surpases the Korean masterful. For example, I cannot think of anything that Koreans produced that could even compare to Chinese 2016 movie "Xuan Zhang" about the Buddhist monk who walked to India.
Or Journey to the West about that monk conquering his inner demons before he started.
Korea perhaps has the pressure of capitalism and selling their dramas and movies, and maybe some Chinese are more likely to forget the money and do the art, and do it DEEP, bc of all the oppression they experience.
I don't know.
But I do know that China has a lot to offer
and to offer that, it must stop the cruelty inherent in the politics and daily life.
And I am not sure if that will happen :)
China is currently colonizing Africa and stealing African resources,
China is genociding Tibet,
China is censoring their own ppl
I am not sure how it can be resolved ... soon enough :)
Meanwhile cdrams will be mostly fake / crude / cheapo trash and then occassionally a GEM like this drama....

Written after ep 14:
As for acting:
Now I understand why ErQiang is not on screen a lot, that actor is not so good, he has "poker face" and "smiley face" but not much else. He is actually one of the weakest actors in the drama. Pretty face :) when he smiles but ... not too much skill yet. He is new.
The Oldest Brother actor is a masterful actor and gets most scenes
====
As for the story, my opinion after ep 14:
I kept watching this drama bc when the kids grow up, it gets lighter - but not really light. It stays heavy..... That is the signature of cdramas.. they are so heavy.
There is no humor anywhere. There is no spiritual practice anywhere. There is no self reflection.
They just keep SURVIVING by sticking together no matter what mistakes they make.
Truly, surviving hell.
So cdramas are about sheer survival, just to LIVE, so there is no space for humor and it is heavy. The ppl do not have the space for finer things like that. They are gonna DIE. It is that serious.
===
And it is "interesting" how their adult lives are filmed without any reference to the oppressive politics and lifestyle. Clearly it is all censored out.
only once we see a soldier coming from a Tibet post...
I am a student of traditional Chinese medicine and tai chi, and I spread all Chinese videos about healthy movement (kung fu warmups and tai chi) and I make a living from it and use it in my daily life, and so many times when I had medical issues, Chinese traditional doctor helped me, and I always held respect for the Chinese SUPREME KNOWLEDGE about many things
After watching this drama, I felt immense compassion for the people who have survived all these horrible things. I am not sure how to put it in words, but my heart feels for them SURVIVING in spite of the hell they are born into, without any help.
Korea practiced Buddhism and somehow was able to evade some of this? Chinese seem left to their own devices and they coped somehow.
But .... They are killing Tibetan buddhists and are basically cutting down the branch they sit on. People cannot live without a spiritual practice. It is equivalent to food.
And organized Chistianity can never provide it :) bc it is fake and hypocritical and actually teaches dead-end strategies. Christianity is a religion designed to manipulate people. Meditation is forbidden in Christianity. The emphasis is on the suffering on the cross and feeling guilty, instead of extensive effort in self reflection, letting go of preconceived notions, and surrendering to the Great Light. Jesus became an international super star not bc he sat on the cross and shed blood for others - zillions of people sat on the cross and shed blood for others and produced no change.... - but bc he TRANSFORMED INTO LIGHT.... HE DID INNER PROCESS TO RISE UP IN CONSCIOUSNESS.
So forget the organized Christianity. Even Christian archbishop Desmond Tutu in arguments with Dalai Lama claimed that human being / mind cannot be changed. That's total bs, as Jesus himself demonstrated that it IS possible. But Christinity lies about it and says only Jesus can do that and nobody else can bc only Jesus is the son of God. Bologney. So none of us are sons and daughters of God?? Jesus as an older brother demonstrates what all of us CAN do if we keep trying. The story of the cross is a "fast forward story" that takes zillions of years, and meanwhile we have to take small steps.
Jesus was missing for 12 years and he reached enlightment in Tibet, even Indian yogis admit this.
And Tibetan Buddhism is "a cookbook of recipes" a very organized simple-to-understand precise immensely helpful effective instruction how to relatively fast change your being and your mind and keep transforming yourself in a consistent way, until one day... you become like Jesus (that day is NOT going to be soon lol but keep going!!!).
AND THIS TEACHING IS RIGHT THERE NEXT TO CHINA, and China is trying to kill it, because it would totally undermine the oppressive Chinese government.
Chinese are gloomy and heavy, and Tibetans smile.
So I PRAY THAT CHINA TRANSITIONS INTO AN ERA OF MORE LIGHT AND PEACE
and that they allow Tibet to exist as is as Tibetans are the key holders of spiritual knowledge on Earth - plus some yogis etc from India
In the best situation, Tibetan knowledge would spread into China
and we will know when it happens because cdramas will have that feeling, it cannot be fabricated
One thing that cannot be fabricated is that sense of lightness and humor and joy
Watch Dalai Lama or Tibetans for a few seconds and you will know exactly what that feels and looks like - it is SMILES and RADIANT SOFT GLOW
