118. The Tram Problem

"Guan Gu, why are you the only one?" After Zhang Wei returned to the apartment, he found that only two rooms were empty, and only Guan Gu was sitting on the sofa of 3601 and looking at the computer.

Guan Gu raised his head and replied helplessly: "Teacher Zeng went to work night shift, Youyou went to film, Ziqiao went to pick up girls, Yumo went shopping, because it is the final exam week now, and even Yifei is working overtime."

"Everyone is very busy at the end of the year. But why did you come to this room?"

Zhang Wei took out a bottle of Farmer's Three Fist Mineral Water from the refrigerator and said with some emotion that he would be very busy at the end of the year no matter what kind of work he had.

"The internet speed here is faster! Not only them, I'm almost busy!" Guan Gu answered Zhang Wei's question with a sad face and complained.

Zhang Wei asked strangely: "What's wrong? I remember clearly. Hasn't your love three-legged cat been updated? It should be very idle now, right?"

Guan Gu looked like Ge You was lying on the sofa, and then said with no hope for life.

"Yes, I finally finished the first comic of my life, but my editor urged me to let me draw a new comic or continue to update the sequel to Love Three-legged Cat.

I have been struggling these days. I feel that the story of the love three-legged cat has ended. If I continue drawing it, I probably will cheat money. I don’t want to do such a thing.

But if I really want to draw a new work, I feel that there is no inspiration, but the editor kept urging me, which made me very anxious now.

So I was searching for inspiration this afternoon, but I didn’t find anything at all.”

"Is that true?" Zhang Wei looked at Guan Gu who looked like he had lost hope in his life. In fact, he had many thoughts in his head.

Although there are also people in this world like Neptune, Detective Conan, the timeline is still 11 years old, and there are still many unpublished comic content in my head.

Although I can't remember everything at all, I still remember the plot and outline, such as slimes, working cells and so on. I have seen a lot of so-called hegemony episodes like this.

Moreover, these are all without any trace now, so they can be recommended to Guan Gu Painting. With his professional level, they must be quite exciting.

"So have you found any inspiration?"

Zhang Wei still asked with some expectations, after all, he still hoped that his friends could create a completely original and good-looking comic.

I read the love triangle cat painted by Guan Gu. Although it is not as good as any particularly awesome comics, the overall rating is still quite good.

Moreover, the comics and magazines he works in are all in the top three, and readers also like them very much.

After all, animals as the main characters have always been one of the main ways of expressing the comics, and animals that look like humans are indeed very cute.

"No, I searched for many websites, Qiandu, Yatian, GouSu... and the new social software Weibo, but I didn't find anything that could be called inspiration.

Anyway, I have been discussing a topic with people online this afternoon, which is about the recent generic drug case."

Guan Gu grabbed his hair helplessly. Many times he went online by himself, and was obviously looking for something, but he wasted a lot of time elsewhere for no reason.

Zhang Wei asked strangely when he heard this: "The case of generic drugs?"

"Yes, a case about generic drugs in India. This is their medicine that is illegal in China, but the genuine medicine is too expensive and patients can't afford it.

There are also many people who think that this kind of medicine should not be charged for treatment and saving lives, but I have a different view. I feel that piracy will have a great impact on the industry.

Just like pirated comics, they often turn the genuine version off directly, and end up leaving nothing, and everyone has no need to read pirated versions at all.

But what they said makes sense, after all, they are living lives, if not, then there is really nothing.

The powerlessness of a person in the face of death is the most terrible, but what I think above seems to make sense."

Guan Gu grabbed his hair in pain. He had never thought about such a complicated issue in depth, as if both sides had reason.

No matter how you choose, it is wrong.

Zhang Wei smiled when he heard this: "Guan Gu, have you ever heard of the tram problem?"

Guan Gu asked strangely when he heard this: "It's hard to lift the car? Does it mean that the car cannot be lifted after igniting it?"

The culture of China is really profound and profound. An idiom often contains a story to explain each truth.

I have recently learned these idioms in Chinese class. It seems that I have learned another one today and I have benefited a lot.

"Well... it's a tram, it's just a tram."

Zhang Wei said helplessly as he heard this topic of how far he had run by Guan Gu.

In order to avoid Guan Gu's mistaken hearing this, he searched the Internet for a Japanese tram.

"Oh, trams, I know that there are many such trams in our country, which are very convenient, but what are their problems? Is the trams too crowded?"

Guan Gu said suddenly, but he was a little puzzled. What problems can a tram have?

“Suppose a madman tied five innocent people to the tram track and an out-of-control tram is coming towards them.

Fortunately, the driver can pull down the pull rod and let the tram drive to another track.

However, the madman also tied a person on another tram track. Considering the above situation, should the driver pull down the pull rod?

So far, no one can give a particularly good answer to this question, because it is an unsolvable question."

Zhang Wei introduced this so-called tram problem to Guan Gu, which is also one of the top ten famous thought experiments in history.

Is it a legitimate interest to sacrifice the interests of a few people to protect the interests of the majority?

Whether to prioritize the protection of new drug innovation or patients is also an unsolvable question.

Original innovative drugs must be so expensive because it is determined by its risk and investment costs.

And life is priceless. Since the beginning of human society, most things are not worth mentioning in front of life.

So this creates a huge contradiction, a problem that cannot be explained at all.

"I understand, there is no answer to this question, but even though I know it's the case, I still feel very painful.

On one hand, there are many patients' lives, and on the other hand, there is..."

Looking at Guan Gu's troubles, Zhang Wei had no choice. Such a question that was destined to have no correct answer was indeed tormenting.
