同样的高考成绩，农村考生麻近水只能回乡务农，而城市考生曾伟力和石建南却顺利地上了大学。三个人在深圳走到一起：干部家庭出身的石建南是调干来的，后来成了老板；城市平民曾伟力孔雀南飞，当上职业经理；麻近水只能是农民工。公司裁员时，麻双患上尿毒症，生命垂危。作为职业经理的曾伟力尽管对老板唯命是从，在裁员问题上却非常犹豫——如果麻近水保住职位，就能继续享受公司办的社保，否则只能走上绝路。围绕着麻近水的生与死，人性中的天使和魔鬼跳出了绚丽的舞蹈。((With the same college entrance examination scores, the rural candidate Ma Jinshui had to come back for farming, while the urban candidates Zeng Weili and Shi Jiannan were admitted to the university smoothly.The three people came together in Shenzhen:Shi Jiannan, whose parents were cadre enrolled from among workers, became the boss later; the ordinary urban citizen Zeng Weili went to the southern city from afar and became a professional manager; but Ma Jinshui was only an immigrant worker.When the company was ready for a layoff, Ma Jinshui suffered from uremia and his life was in danger.As a professional manager, Zeng Weili, though following his boss obediently, was very hesitant in the matter of layoffs. If Ma Jinshui could keep his job, he would be able to continue enjoying social security of the company; otherwise, he had to head for his doom.Centered around the life and death of Ma Jinshui,the angel and the devil of humanity danced brilliantly.)
